Getting started
Choosing between online school and homeschool
Both keep learning at home, but the day is organised very differently. Here is how to tell which structure suits your family.
- Who sets the timetable and who marks the work.
- How much live teaching happens each week.
- What records you keep and who reviews them.
Daily routine
Building a school day that actually holds
Breaks, movement and a clear start signal matter more than a perfect schedule. A simple shape for the week.
- Anchor the day with two fixed points.
- Keep sessions short and finish on time.
- Leave one afternoon deliberately open.
Admissions
Questions to ask before you enrol
Ask about accreditation, teacher contact time, assessment and what happens if your child needs extra support.
- How is progress reported to parents?
- What technology and internet speed are needed?
- What are the withdrawal and refund terms?
