What is Homeschooling?

Homeschooling or “home education” is an arrangement in which children are learning remotely, wherever they are, with the help of a parent, tutor, or online teacher. With the rise of the Internet and an abundance of online resources, e-Learning for kids is becoming more and more common. In fact, we predict that e-Learning for kids will become a new norm quite soon…

Is Homeschooling right for your family?

The decision as to whether or not to homeschool your children is, sometimes, a difficult one to make.  

You obviously care for the wellbeing of your children. However, you may have concerns about public education or, maybe you are constantly on the road due to work. Maybe, like us, you love to travel and do not want to be attached to a particular location.  

Whatever your reasons, it takes courage and commitment to take homeschooling on as a family lifestyle choice. The good news, you are not alone!

Online communities and e-learning resources for kids to the rescue!

Here is a wonderful online course “Homeschooling – Is It Right for Your Family?” that will help you assess if homeschooling can fit into your personal situation. It will walk you through e-learning and paper-based curriculums to choose from, talk about Legal implications in your region and who can help you if you run into legal issues or government interference, and even help you to find homeschooling conferences you might wish to attend!
