1. Homeschooling
home education or home based learning

2. Homeschooling or homeschool
• is the education of children at home, typically
by parents or by tutors, rather than in other
formal settings of public or private school.
• is a legal option for parents in many countries,
allowing them to provide their children with a
learning environment as an alternative to
public or private schools outside the
individual's home.

3. Homeschooling or homeschool
• This form of schooling is recognized by
the Department of Education (DepEd)
provided that the parent-teacher is a college
graduate and is able to provide at least 4
hours of instruction for kindergarten to 7th
grade.
• Homeschooling means no pressure of learning
all things. It is done at anytime, anywhere by
the learner, mother or provider.

4. Three reasons of homeschooling
parents in the United States
1. concern about the school environment
2. to provide religious or moral instruction
3. dissatisfaction with academic instruction at
public and private schools

5. History
• The earliest public schools in the
modern West began in the early 16th century
in the German states of Gotha and Thurungia.
• However, even in the 18th century, the vast
majority of people in Europe lacked formal
schooling, which means they were
homeschooled, tutored or received no
education at all.

6. History
• In the 1960s, Rousas John Rushdoony began to
advocate homeschooling, which he saw as a
way to combat the intentionally secular
nature of the U.S. public school system.

7. History
• During this time, the American educational
professionals Raymond and Dorothy
Moore began to research the academic
validity of the rapidly growing Early Childhood
Education movement.
• The Moores began to publish their view that
formal schooling was damaging young
children academically, socially, mentally, and
even physiologically.

8. History
"This is like saying, if you can help a child by
taking him off the cold street and housing him
in a warm tent, then warm tents should be
provided for all children – when obviously
most children already have even more secure
housing."

9. History
One common theme in the homeschool
philosophies of both Holt and the Moores is
that:
“home education should not be an
attempt to bring the school construct into the
home, or a view of education as an academic
preliminary to life.”They viewed it as a natural,
experiential aspect of life that occurs as the
members of the family are involved with one
another in daily living

10. Methodology
• Families, for a variety of reasons chose different
educational methods, representing a variety of
educational philosophies and paradigms.
• Classical education
• Charlotte Mason education
• Montessori method
• Theory of multiple intelligences
• Unschooling
• Radical Unschooling
• Waldorf education
• School-at-home

11. Homeschooling programs in the
Philippines
• Some Philippine homeschooling programs
include the following:
– Alternative Learning of Asia
– Angelicum College
– Catholic Filipino Academy (CFA)
– Colegio de San Juan de Letran
– Harvest Christian School International
– The Master’s Academy (TMA)
– The School of Tomorrow
– Gopala Play Center

12. Homeschooling as an alternative to
sending kids to school
• Mainstream education in the Philippines has
been around for more than a hundred years.
• By the time children start to walk and talk,
parents start to canvas for the most reputable
school that will raise them best, and one they can
afford at that.
• But a new movement led by the Homeschooling
Association of the Philippine Islands (HAPI) is
changing the landscape of education by
advocating homeschooling in the Philippines.

13. Homeschooling as an alternative to
sending kids to school
• Established in 2009, HAPI is an organization
composed of homeschooling families, as well
as various accredited schools who offer home
school programs.
“Homeschool is different from home study.” Home
study is schooling supervised by a teacher or a
tutor who drops by a student’s house.
“Home school, on the other hand, is a form of
education where the parent is the teacher and the
child is the student,” - Edric Mendoza

14. How it works
• Homeschooling has two existing movements:
– loosely structured homeschooling
– highly-structured homeschooling

15. How it works
• HAPI advocates homeschooling in the middle
of the spectrum, where parents enroll their
kids in existing schools with home school
programs accredited by the Department of
Education.
– Examples of these accredited schools are The
Masters Academy (TMA), Kid’s World, and
Heritage Academy.

16. How it works
• “There are assigned consultants who will
literally walk you through the entire program.
Some are hands-off where they will show you
the materials you can use. Then you can just
check with them from time to time,” Mendoza
says.
• It will be up to the parents to create the
schedules and teach their children according
to the curriculum.

17. How it works
• Since they are not confined to a typical
school’s 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. schedule,
homeschoolers usually devote their mornings
to academics, while afternoons are for
extracurricular activities, like theater and
sports.
• Parent-teachers may avail of school curricula,
lesson plans, teacher-training, and
instructional materials through DepEd
accredited homeschooling programs.

18. Time and Commitment to Homeschool
• Homeschooling, however, would be a big feat
for parents who both work full-time. One
parent has to devote his or her time to
oversee the education of their children.

19. END

20. • classical education embraced study of
literature, poetry, drama, philosophy, history,
art, and languages.

21. Mason's philosophy of education is probably
best summarised by the principles given.
• Two key mottos taken from those principles are
– "Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life"
– "Education is the science of relations."
• She believed that children were born persons and
should be respected as such;
• they should also be taught the Way of the Will
and the Way of Reason.
• Her motto for students was "I am, I can, I ought, I
will."

22. • Montessori education is
an educational approach developed by Italian
physician and educator Maria Montessori and
characterized by an emphasis on
independence, freedom within limits, and
respect for a child’s natural psychological,
physical, and social development.

23. • Unschooling is an educational method and
philosophy that rejects compulsory school as a
primary means for learning.
• Unschooling encourages exploration of
activities initiated by the children themselves,
believing that the more personal learning is,
the more meaningful, well-understood and
therefore useful it is to the child.
• The term "unschooling" was coined in the
1970s and used by educator John Holt, widely
regarded as the "father" of unschooling.

24. Waldorf pedagogy distinguishes three broad stages in
child development
• The early years education focuses on providing
practical, hands-on activities and environments that
encourage creative play.
• Secondary education focuses on developing critical
understanding and fostering idealism. Throughout, the
approach stresses the role of the imagination in
learning and places a strong value on integrating
academic, practical and artistic pursuits.
• The educational philosophy's overarching goal is to
develop free, morally responsible, and integrated
individuals equipped with a high degree of social
competence.
