1. How much does it cost to homeschool?
Cost is dependent on the
teaching method that you choose for your child. You may want your teenager to
attend a college that supervises and tutors them, like The Assisted LearningCentre in Fish Hoek. Many other families may rather want to use the library and
community resources. It’s interesting to note that these choices are a lot
cheaper than any public school fees.
2. Do homeschoolers do better than public school
kids on tests?
Homeschoolers consistently outperform their schooled peers on tests. A recent report stated that homeschoolers are, on average, one year ahead of their schooled peers. By the time homeschooled students are in grade 10 they are already four years ahead of their schooled peers.

3. How does homeschooling benefit the child?
Homeschooling benefits the child by providing a comfortable, quiet learning environment. Homeschooled kids have the gift of learning in freedom, and they have a rich and active social life, even if they don’t spend the whole day in a classroom full of children.
