HOME SCHOOLING


Occasionally parents will decide that their child will further succeed academically at home under the instruction of the parents. Home schooling is a choice that is made for a wide range of reasons, some that are academically related, and some that are based on other circumstances, or a combination of both. Prior to choosing to take this route for a child's education the parents should be fully prepared for the responsibility and understand the requirements.
