Hello everyone,

Homeschooling your children as an expat in Turkey will definitely come with its load of challenges. Here is a special call to parents who are already homeschooling their children or who plan on doing so to share any information they might have.

Should you opt for homeschooling, is it legal in Turkey ? Do you require to register your child or do you need any kind of permission / exemption from the authorities ? If it is not legal, what alternative option/s do you have ?

How do you go about getting all the necessary educational resources (books, syllabus, notes etc) to pursue your childrens education in Turkey ? Does it depend on the curriculum ?

What do you add in your homeschooling techniques to help educate your child that might not be offered or available in traditional schooling ?

How do you socialise homeschooled children in Turkey by providing them opportunities to interact with other children ?

If you have any interest in homeschooling, could you please share your views on the pros and cons ?

Thank you for sharing your experience,
Bhavna

Hello there .. I personally dont recommend home-schooling because you’ll narrow your child experiences and its also scientifically proven that the environment of working/learning should be different than the environment of your home.. thats why studying in libraries are far more productive than at home... children need to learn how to bond at school learn how to socialize and how to be careful (bcs momy’s not around in school lol )and i personally believe that you cant teach these stuffs in a small society called home . Please share the your reasons of making this decision with us
Goodluck
