But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as EAGLES they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint… Isaiah 40:31.

           

             

Getting started

Motivations

Some families decide to homeschool out
of preference, based on:

The academic aspect: children with special needs, either learning difficulties or giftedness.

Positive socialization: homeschooling allows parents and children to choose the people with which they want relationships.

Conflicts with the school system:

• Parents don’t feel understood by teaching personnel and/or school administration;
• Philosophy of education and values conveyed at public school do not meet the expectations and/or needs of parents and/or children.

Absence of an alternative school (Christian, Waldorf, Montessori, etc.).
