Not exactly.  In the US, home schooling is the term used when parents have
decided that the public and available private schools aren't acceptable
(for various reasons) and will instead teach their children themselves.
Each school district should have some mechanism in place to determine that
the children are getting an adequate education in the standard subjects.
In many cases, home schooled children perform significantly better than
their public-schooled peers.
