Educational Heretics Press is a research, writing and publishing company; it was founded in 1991 by Roland and Janet Meighan. Any profits are donated to the Centre for Personalised Education.

Its purpose is to question the dogmas of schooling in particular, and education in general, and to develop the logistics of the next learning system.

"I am a fan of the Education Heretics Press because it asks necessary questions about the fundamental processes of schooling."
- Gerald Haigh of the Times Educational Supplement
