With the goal of equipping parents and churches to educate children using an academically proven curriculum that cultivates a Biblical Worldview, Christian Education Europe provides access to the Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) programme.
A.C.E. offers a complete, self-instructional curriculum that integrates Bible truths and character values throughout all subjects and grade levels. Biblical principles and concepts are interwoven into all aspects of the programme, developing critical thinking and apologetic skills, and science is taught from the Biblical perspective of creation.

So...no science, right? And no truths, just "Bible truths", a.k.a. "Truthiness". Therefore no education, and no children turned into productive adults.
No thanks. We have no need of more stupid. We are already oversupplied.
So, do you teach that insects have four legs, bats are birds, rabbits chew cud and pi equals 3? Do the "critical thinking skills" you teach involve starting with "the Bible is correct" and work from there? Otherwise you need to be careful, as development of actual critical thinking skills tends to turn people into agnostics or atheists.

Meanwhile, the National Curriculum in Britain.
Even 'Faith' Schools - if they're to continue receiving state funding - must teach that the Big Bang & Evolution is fact : the law says so. If private tutoring & homeschooling have to conform to the law, then so do they.
Romans 13:1-5, bitch. And no Kitzmiller vs. Dover required.
...oh, and did you agree with Donald Fart, that 'Brexit' is a good thing...?! [/hyper-paradox]
A small, mean, petty, vindictive part of me is thinking about all those times that Europeans ragged on the US for having homeschooled fundies. The majority portion of me is just sad.
It seems that idiots really are idiots no matter where you go, which is a victory for my personal philosophy but feels like a defeat for the rest of the world.

Well, considering how the Church of $cientology is on it's last warning in France re. it's cultic shenanigans, and it's essentially illegal in Germany, I'm sure the governments of the two most powerful countries in the EU can recognise indoctrination when they see it.
No doubt so many will refer messrs. Merkel & Makron to the documentary film "Jesus Camp", therefore...!
"....an academically proven curriculum that cultivates a Biblical Worldview,...."

@Skide ,
I know it is not illegal in the Netherlands, but I looked up the numbers and it is very rare. Under the law the number of people getting homeschooled for religious reasons is in the 400 to 500 range (17 million people live in the Netherlands) Homeschooled because they travel to much (think about thing like parents that work in a circus) or because they are physically unable to attend school (because of an illnes) is between 200 en 2000.
That said all schools are basically funded and relatively cheap to attend, whether it is a Christian, public, Islamic school, and regardless of method like montessori or tradiotinal.
Confession time: I went to a fundie school in my junior high years. They used that garbage. "Science" was a joke, social studies (especially in reference to non-Christian-dominant nations/cultures) was horribly misrepresented, and even math was geared to solving Biblical-scenario word problems! English was about the only subject they didn't seriously screw up. All the "PACEs" (Packets of Accelerated Christian Education) were loaded with ( mostly irrelevant) Bible verses inserted at random intervals. It took a long time to re-educate myself and get up to the level where I should have been. That crap really messed me up!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
