HOMESCHOOL FAQ
What is Homeschooling Programme?
Homeschooling, or home education, entails a child receiving their education at home under the guidance of parents or private tutors, bypassing traditional school attendance. While this provides flexibility, many parents lack the time, knowledge, or experience with the curriculum. Moreover, sourcing suitable tutors presents its own challenges.
Homeschool centers, on the other hand, are private educational establishments offering alternatives for children not attending public or private schools. Distinct from traditional schools, they typically feature smaller class sizes, lower tuition fees, and increased flexibility, catering to diverse learning needs.
