According to the US Census data (2023), since the COVID-19 pandemic, more families are choosing to homeschool their children, the rate of white homeschooled children increased from 5.7% in the spring of 2020 to 9.7% in the fall of 2020. For Asian children, homeschooling rates increased from 4.9% to 8.8% during this same time. There was an overall increase in homeschooling rates among American children. The most dramatic increase was observed in African American families. Homeschooling rose for African American children from 3.3% in the spring of 2020 to 16.1% in the fall of 2020 (US Census data, 2023). There could be many reasons why African American families are opting to homeschool their children. More research needs to be focused on homeschooling. Studies completed regarding home-schooling have yet to examine the phenomenon of the increase in home-schooling in the African American community. Studies on home-schooling in the past three decades focused on why parents' decision process to homeschool (Bisson, 2022).

Information regarding this growing trend among African American families will be explored in this study. Through triangulation of interviews, a survey, and, observations of African Americans' educational experiences and the evolution of home-schooling will be developed. The researcher will use a qualitative methodology to gain insight into the thoughts and experiences of African American home-schooling parents. This study addresses the questions: "What factors motivate African American families to homeschool using the microschool setting? And "What learning strategies are used in the Zone of Proximal Development in the microschool? [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
