Homeschool of Asia WorldSystem

Research studies have established that the critical years in a child’s life are from birth to six years of age. Essential character, values, abilities, personality, skills, aptitude, attitudes, and knowledge form during these vital years. These qualities, when adequately developed, shape the individual’s overall perspective and preparedness for life. Studies have confirmed that the experiences and the learning that preschool children undergo during the first six years of their life have a lasting effect on their intellectual development and the development of their social and physical skills.

Homeschooling Program provides an alternative delivery system in honing the critical years of every child, who, for some reason or other circumstances, cannot avail of the formal instruction in a traditional school. Every individual is unique. Thus, Homeschooling addresses students’ differences. It recognizes various learning styles and special needs. As the government’s lead agency in primary education, the Education Department should acknowledge these realities. A way to articulate and concretize its recognition of the realities is the legalization and implementation of Homeschooling, aside from the traditional schooling program.
