My wife and I have been home schooling our children for the last 5 years. When I tell people we home school, many are interested in knowing what we have found to be the benefits of homeschooling compared to sending our kids to school outside the home. Here I believe are four clear advantages of homeshooling.

First, homeschooling gives you more control over the influences your child will face. You no longer have to be anxious about all the negative influences your children could face in school or whether your child will receive what is needed for them to grow and development properly. You alone can decide what your child needs to learn.

Being able to give individual attention to your kids is another great benefit of homeschooling. It is amazing how quickly your children will learn something when your able to give them individual attention. Parents can also put together a curriculum that fits the needs and interests of your child and that fits their own individual learning style.

Another great benefit is that homeschooling allows parents to take control over the morals and values being taught to their child. For the Christian, for example, parents have the flexibility to incorporate the teachings of the Bible into the child’s curriculum. Therefore, there is no confusion in the child’s mind because there is no difference between what is being taught at school and at home.

Finally, homeshooling is a great way to keep your family close. We have seen this clearly in the relationship between our two girls, (10 and 7 years old). Because they are together more they have become much closer then they would have if they were separated all day in school. The schooling of the child also becomes an extended family activity. Parents get involved in every step of the learning process. Therefore, the child receives more quality time with both his parents and other siblings.
