valley-girl,

I am home-schooling my teen but I am not in jeddah. we are French and we use CNED : www.cned.fr since 10 years. it isn't easy, we still feel so lonely.

We'll be in Khobar and then Jubail. Do you know if there are any homeschoolers in either of those places?
Thanks!

nasserine

no I don't. homeschoolers are rare here in Saudi Arabia. especially when children speak French as a first language. I hope you  will find Fellow homeschoolers when you will locate at Khobar or Jubail.
it's very difficult (for both children and adult) to socialize in saudi arabia. school is the only  place where a child can meet mates.

Hello Valleygirl

Do you know anyone interested in forming a homeschool group or coop in jeddah? I'm seriously thinking of homeschooling my 7th grade daughter.

I appreciate any help. Thanks

I don't think there are many home schooling groups in Jeddah, I am a primary school teacher, I was home-schooling my 2 daughters and found it very very hard, no libraries, etc, as we are not allowed to drive it makes things worse. Here kids need to go to school to socialize..

Hi
There are many expat families who do online shcooling and are very happy about it. Most starts at secondary school level - at age 11yrs +. There are only about 2-3 that give higher primary schooling at age 9yr plus. Since the online classroom is only 5-10 students strong, there is better teacher-student ratio. That means they can cover the same curriculum as a mainstream school in only about 3-4 hrs a day, 4 days a week,

Here is a list of online schools as compiled in Wikipedia - mainly for US, UK and Canada Wiki List_of_virtual_schools

As for UK schools, apart from those listed, also see...

Hello everyone! After searching high and low for a LONG time, I realized that there are quite a few homeschoolers out here! Jeddeh has a quite extensive group with their own website, but it is Muslim based and you must be female to join. (forumcircle.com/index.php)

I have also created a Facebook page for homeschoolers in the Eastern Province. We have already gathered and met a lot of people at different places, so check it out and join us if you are here! (facebook.com/groups/KSAhomeschoolers/)

Hello everyone!  I will be joining my husband in Jeddah at the end of the summer. We may send our 3rd grader to school IF we get her in, but I have a senior (who wanted to come), so I wanted to homeschool him.  I can still do that, even though he turns 18 next February, right?

I would be happy to help any groups, as I am certified to teach broad-field science in the US (Georgia and NC), grades 6-12.

I've requested info from the K-12 International Academy, but that was only a few minutes ago.  Thoughts?

Hello,

I'm interested in homeschooling my 17 year old daughter?

Parents are worried for their kids :sosad: Parents are looking for better education for their kids but unfortunately Local schools are 100% for commercial business especially in Jeddah.
