Homeschooling

What is Homeschooling?
It’s not school at home — it’s learning beyond classrooms.

At home, we don’t just memorise — we experience. From chemistry in the kitchen to physics in the garden, real education begins right where we live. Homeschooling is about curiosity-led learning, real-life applications, and nurturing individual brilliance.

I’m not against schools or exams — I’m against outdated methods that ignore a child’s unique potential.

In our home, we learnt to ask the right questions, explore beyond textbooks, and connect knowledge to life. Because every child is born brilliant — they just need the freedom to shine.

Our personal homeschooling journey has now come full circle — my son is in college. But the learning never stopped.
Today, I guide families on their own homeschooling path — not just as an educator of 20+ years, but as a homeschooling mum turned mentor. I run vibrant homeschooling communities, support parents through curriculum choices, learning philosophies, and help them craft meaningful, personalised learning journeys for their children.

Homeschooling is about nurturing self-driven learners who are prepared not just for exams, but for life.

To infinity and beyond…

Considering Homeschooling? Start Here.

Before You Begin: A Word of Caution
Homeschooling is a rewarding path — but it’s not for everyone.
I do not promote homeschooling as a universal solution. It’s a deeply personal choice that depends on your family's values, lifestyle, and capacity.

✔️ Don’t choose homeschooling just because you dislike school. Schools are not bad. System is not bad.
✔️ Understand your child’s and your own strengths, limitations, and learning styles.
✔️ Be ready for commitment, consistency, and creativity.

What You Need to Know

1. Learning Begins at Home
Before formal education begins, children learn naturally from their surroundings — parents, grandparents, and daily life. Homeschooling builds on this instinctive, curiosity-led learning.

2. Homeschooling is a Family Journey
It’s not about replacing school worksheets — it’s about learning together.
✔️ Everyday tasks like peeling garlic, folding clothes, storytelling, or cooking are powerful learning tools.
✔️ Pick a method that aligns with your family's rhythm — Montessori, Waldorf, project-based, or your own unique blend.

3. There’s No One-Size-Fits-All Approach
Your homeschooling style could be:
– Academically rigorous
– Creative and hands-on
– Flexible and child-led
– Sport based or Music driven

What matters is that it suits your child and your family.

4. Curriculum & Resources
There’s an abundance of material — but you must curate wisely.
✔️ Use a mix of textbooks, online tools, DIY activities, and real-world experiences.
✔️ You can follow or blend CBSE, SSC, ICSE, IGCSE, NIOS, IB, Waldorf, Montessori, thematic learning, or build your own curriculum.

5. Exams & Boards
Homeschoolers in India have flexible board options:
✔️ NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling)
✔️ Cambridge IGCSE
✔️ State Boards (e.g., SSC) – with specific documentation
Each has its own process — research based on your academic goals.

6. Support Systems & Communities
You’re not alone.
✔️ Join WhatsApp, Facebook, and Telegram homeschooling groups.
✔️ Participate in co-ops, meetups, and online pods.
✔️ I co-run active homeschooling communities offering mentorship, resources, and peer support.

Not sure if homeschooling is for you?
That’s okay — it’s not for everyone. I’m here to help you make an informed choice.
