Why homeschool?

There are numerous advantages to

homeschooling.

The overriding goal of homeschooling, as

with public schools, is to educate children. The

difference here is that the teacher-to-student

ratio is 1:1 rather than 1:30., making it far

easier to tailor that learning to the child's

needs and interests, and who is more

dedicated to ensuring a child's education and

success than their parent? Add to this that

because a home schooled child's education is

managed by the same person over a long

period of time, that education can be

consistent with a long-term plan in which each

topic taught.

All of this means that if a child excels in a specific area, his education in that area can be accelerated, but if a child struggles in a particular area, additional resources can be brought in to help. The topics and activities can be directed at an area that interests the child, creating an environment where they WANT to learn. The way children are taught can be based on how the child best learns, for example, if a child is a visual learner, more visual elements can be incorporated into that child's instruction.

Home school provides the opportunity for a child's education to be designed just for that child.
