I'm am reposting this from 'Home ed' looking for opinions.... Of course but also ideas for online resources or how best to manage this.. And whether the level of education I could offer them for a year woudl be adequate. All are very self motivated and keen to learn so that issue is fine. I would not be surprised if my eldest would push herself to do two syllabus years in one! Very keen academically! Anyway see original post below.....
We (well me, DH not convinced yet) are considering taking our kids out of formal education for one year. They are currently at an international school and performing well academically, all in top quartile.
Can you recommend some online (we will be traveling so want to minimize books etc) that they can work on with my guidance at their own pace.
They are currently studying the Primary Years Programme (younger two) and middle school towards IGCSE's - older one....pretty much based on British program I think.
They will all ultimately end up completing their education either in an international school overseas or a British boarding school so IGCSE's, MYP, IB etc..., or a UK state school if we move back and they get residency status back in UK.
I would really like to concentrate on the Maths and English side of things on the computers probably and probably do topic based work as we travel.
We would be traveling slowly with a few weeks or months in each place.
Any guidance, advice or links to good websites much appreciated. Happy to pay for an online school scenario. The eldest one particularly does not want her education to slip as she wants to go to a pretty selective boarding school in UK so wants to be sure of getting in.
