Is it “OK” to HomeSchool a child?
Albert Einstein was self-taught under his mother’s guidance at home and today the genius is an inspirational figure for the world. Learning has no restrictions and can be done at any stimulating environment.
Why Homeschooling?
There are many reasons for which lots of parents across the globe opt for homeschooling their child.
Mainly, the reason being dissatisfaction over the traditional learning system that mostly focuses on theoretical & abstract concepts which may not attract all children. Homeschooling can be done to provide flexibility for a child to work on gaining skills needed to pursue his/her passion.
Some parents may have no option to pick & drop their kids to school daily. Few may have other commitments to be prioritized than giving in full time schooling. Many find it easy to teach kids at home in safe & comfortable environment, besides saving on huge fee bills.
Further, the safety of child is most important and online schooling gives you that solution, where a child is learning in your supervision, all the time.
This option is nevertheless lesser than any mainstream program if rightly aligned to the skills-based curriculum and learning resources. This is where you are given all our support & resources to facilitate students with all their learning needs and acquire working knowledge of concepts from English, Math, Science & EVS along with STEM.
We have a team of experienced Educators, IT professionals and Curriculum developers to devise right courses to empower your child.
Whom we cater to?
Being an online school we enroll regular students in Online Live Schooling or Virtual Homeschooling or Independent Learning courses. Online Live Schooling is a full-time online program like any full-time brick & motar school, but with a plus point of not leaving your home to attend it. Other courses involves the delivery of the same advanced curriculum with different features designed to match the homeschooling kids requirements.
Further, after taking a decision to homeschool a child, often parents are confused and stressed on what to teach, how to teach and where to start, what resources are required etc. This is where our role starts in providing all-in-one curriculum along with assessments, to align your child’s learning to the global standards.
Our courses are thoughtfully designed to cater to the learning needs of regular online students, new homeschoolers, already homeschoolers, and after-school help for mainstream students.
We also support students opting for ICT(Information & Communication Technology) at different levels.
All our courses and services are virtual and online live. We use latest teaching methodologies, software tools, best applications, demanding open source resources & our knowledge database to create power-pack digital learning courses for students.
