Home Schooling - Education in the heart of the home
If you are looking at educational alternatives for your children that will cater to their unique learning styles and your world view and values, then home education may be the answer.
You don't need any special teaching qualifications, other than that of being a committed and involved parent who is passionate about education, in order to facilitate the education of your children.
A popular homeschool motto is "the world is our classroom", which is a testament to the fact that children educated at home aren't isolated from the real world or the opportunity to interact with other children to make friends.
Here is just a small sampling of some famous homeschoolers:
- Bindi Irwin (Austalia Zoo)
- Maria Sharipova (tennis champion)
- Venus Willams (tennis champion)
- Serena Williams (tennis champion)
- Christina Aguilera (singer)
- Hillary Duff (singer/actress)
- Elizabeth Windsor (UK monarch)
- Winston Churchill (UK Prime minister)
- Florence Nightingale (nursing pioneer)
- Irving Berlin (composer)
- Pro Hart (artist)
