I already by default have all my Sim kids and teens not go to school. It requires a mod but it makes enrolling in school optional and not default, and you can reflect your chosen style by what your Sims do: kids and teens still have the action to Do Homework (so they get out a textbook and get all the same buffs) but that is an option, and not the only way to learn. They can also do a more "learning by living" approach, and spend their waking hours gaining skills, pursuing hobbies, and achieving childhood or teen aspirations while keeping needs filled, far more easily without their behind having to warm a chair most of the day and then having so little time to do all that, in what is left before sleeping. They can also still do drama club or scouts, and teens can get ahead on a career. Especially with another mod that lets them work real jobs fulltime for those who want to get a leg up on their career instead of waiting for graduation just because. So, my style is more "The Teenage Liberation Handbook" but yours could be more book work, gaining skills more by reading than by doing, and doing homework, if that's what your style is. I would not love an officially released homeschool pack because it would likely reflect an inexperienced belief that it's "everything just like institutional schooling, but in miniature" which is not the usual case, for good reasons.
Which mod is this? I would love it, seems to be exactly what I want! School definitely needs improvement in the sims, and until the sims kids get what they deserve, I guess mods are the way to go.
