Welcome to the anthill
A supportive, expert-guided community for home educators— co-created with parents like you
From SEND and school refusal to curriculum chaos, we’re here to help you build a home learning life that works — with tools, guidance, and support shaped by your real needs.
Whether you call it homeschooling, home education, or something in between- you’re welcome here.
Why the anthill?
You shouldn’t have to do this alone — or reinvent the wheel
The Anthill isn’t just another discussion group. It’s a thoughtful ecosystem of expert-backed guidance, supportive peers, and practical tools. Designed for home-educating families by home-educating families — and shaped by your input every step of the way.
We know home education looks different for everyone. Whether you’re following a curriculum, deschooling, worldschooling, or figuring it out as you go, The Anthill is here to support your version of learning at home — not to replicate school, but to reimagine what learning can be.
Support that actually supports
Get real answers from educators, SEND specialists, and experienced parents — not just noise.
Smart tools that lighten your load
Use AI-powered lesson ideas, planners, and trackers that help you focus on what matters most.
A community that fits your style
Whether you’re unschooling, eclectic, or somewhere in between, find your people and grow together.
Inclusive by design
Especially for neurodivergent learners, school-refusing children, and parents doing things differently.
Guided, not prescriptive
Support without pressure.
We offer ideas, not rules — just the right amount of guidance.
We build what you need
Can’t find the right template or resource? Ask us. We’ll make it — or tweak it until it works for you.
Our Story
(One person alone cannot surround an anthill.)
We’re educators, home-educators or homeschool parents, and experts in autism, SEND, and speech & language. We created The Anthill because we were tired of searching for a space that truly got it.
Here, you’ll find kindness, clarity, and co-creation — not overwhelm.
We’re not here to pile more onto your plate. We’re here to help you carry it.
In many African cultures, anthills are not just mounds of earth; they are symbols of community, knowledge, resilience, and shared effort.
For families learning at home — in whatever way works for them — this symbolism is powerful. Teaching isn’t a solitary journey. It takes mentorship, shared experiences, and collective problem-solving to create a rich and meaningful learning life.
