Thinking about Homeschooling...

by Louise
(Mozambique)

Hi, I am thinking about homeschooling my children.
They are aged 6yrs 3months and 4yrs 10months.
Any advice?

We live in Mozambique. Public schools are out of the question and private schools are expensive ($500 p/month p/child).

What will the total cost be for the homeschooling package for my children, including postage?

Thank you

Kind regards,

Louise

Homeschooling Costs
by: Wendy

Hi

Homeschooling costs vary according to the programs you choose. At your chidlren's age it will not be expensvie to get started.

Their curriculum needs to be based loosely on the following:

Disciplined Studies - pre math, pre reading, pre writing skills. You can get loads of this for free in the internet.

Discovery Studies - science, history, geography. These can all happen with using your library for good books. Check out the 1000 good book list on the web.

Discrectionary Studies - art, craft, music. Ideas for these three studies are all over the web and using the library is also a great way to get ideas.

Around Grade 3 you will want to choose a complete curriculum to guide you. I recommend Sonlight or Footprints because of the wonderful literature and real life learning. Sonlight can be R5000 per year or more, Footprints is R2500 - R3900 for 12 - 18 months for both children.
