Hi everyone,
            I was wondering if any of you are home schooling children in Phuket? I am planning on coming over for three months with my two daughters and trialing a new life in Phuket. My daughters aged 9 and 10 have never been before so I have decided for their benefit as well as my own , we will stay for three months and see how we  feel. Has anyone on here home schooled or got any advice and tips for me. Thankyou for your time. :-)

Hi Kelly,
I have never home schooled before but we thought I might give it a try and see how it goes.  We also want to come over and see how things go.  My kids are 6,5 and 18month.  I think it will go well.
Have you looked into rent?

Hi all, We are moving to Phuket with our 3 children 4,7 and 10 and the English school is so expensive we will home school them, unless anybody knows a good school that teaches the English curriculum which is not extreme in expense

May be we share a English speaking nanny to take care of our kids under our supervision. I think it's good idea.

Hello everybody,

We are a French American couple and we will be moving to Phuket in January with our 2 children: 5 years old and 4 months.
We are thinking of homeschooling too.
Although I am a French teacher myself, I am a bit at a loss for the English curriculum. I would be more than happy to get advices from other homeschooling parents.
As concerning social integration with other children, do any of you recommand children activity clubs?

Thank you

Emmanuelle

Hello, I am German and have been living in Phuket for 5+ years, my son will be 3 in September. So far my son is unschooled and I believe in Homeschooling or Unschooling.

Should my son ask to go to a Kindergarden or School at some stage he will be free to join, but he will also be free to decide not to go there anymore.

If you would like to meet other Unschoolers or Homeschoolers in Phuket, you might like to join the following facebook group:
