School at home

                    Homeschooling

Reproduction of the school system at home, each child working at his own grade level in each subject area.

An approach adapted to your family, taking into consideration children’s ages, their particular interests and your family dynamics (i.e., arrival of a new baby, multi-level teaching, unit study approach, etc.) 

Public school schedule is set up at home, with three recesses a day (including lunch time). Times are pre-determined for each of the subjects taught individually to each child. Subjects are also taught separately, often with a school textbook approach.

A sequence in the order of learning activities throughout the day, daily household tasks (with or without a baby!) being an integral part of the children’s education. One or two periods of free time are allotted, for much more than 15 minutes… and for which it is worth getting children dressed to go outside in the middle of winter! 

May become stressful for children… and parents!

Allows integration of real-life education to more formal learning. 

Discouragement can set in because we just can’t « do it all » with each child following his own program of study.

“If you can cumulate the equivalent of five months of instruction during your school year, you will have done at least as much as the regular school system.”
