I don't know about Norway.
US depends on the state rules, but I think most allow some form of home schooling.





In Norway it's theoretically possible, but I don't think it's very common. There are quite strict rules on the supervision by the local authority. There is a homeschooling association as well. Men det er alle p氓 norsk
I know for sure you can in America. Some states even have virtual schools, where work is done on line with little teacher contact, like once or twice a month. depending on the course. usually 7th grade and up.





My daughter has done homeschooling since 7th grade, and she is in her sophmore/junior classes and starting some senior classes.
US: yes if they have the right credentials


I'm not sure about norway
