Online Homeschooling -The Smarter Education System

Online Homeschooling or home education is when the education of children happens outside the premises of an actual school or at a place structurally different from a typical school. It could be at home or a variety of different places other than the boundaries of a school. They are usually conducted by a parent, tutor, or an online teacher with methods that are less formal and more personalized according to the needs of the child, which is uncommon at a school. The structure of homeschooling depends on the party conducting the school or the attendee that is the student, it can go from highly structured to a more open and free form of schooling.

Online Homeschooling- where school comes home, smarter and better

In India, Homeschooling is fairly a new concept despite being practiced in the west for a long period of time. India is a country where traditional schooling still prevails at a very large scale giving little to no importance to practical and choice-based learning which can make it seem boring, rigid, and even outdated. Yet, there has been slow but steady growth in homeschooling in India, all thanks to Edtech that has strengthened the argument of homeschooling over traditional schooling. Through Edtech many resources had been made available which were not present earlier - making homeschooling more accessible and easy for everyone involved. Homeschooling altogether is a very different concept, where the child is under the guidance of a parent or hired facilitator who instructs the child throughout the learning process, and learning is based on associations made at home, real-life experiences, and lively discussions that are conducted on a personal level. It helps the children learn better than traditional schooling as there are one-to-one discussions and the pace of every child is given due consideration.

Benefits of Homeschooling

While traditional schooling can be confined by its boundaries, Homeschooling possesses liberty, offering choice-based learning and most importantly gives the child a better scope and space to develop to their full potential.

• The parents can plan their child's academic learning according to the skills they want to nurture in the child. They are no longer confined by location to select the pedagogy and facilitator or their choice.

• The parent can personally keep a track of his child's development as the sessions are online at home.

• The academics can be structured according to the interests of the child.

• With personalized attention, the child can take their own time in understanding which makes their concepts and basic foundations strong.

• Parents and teachers can evaluate a child's learning abilities, modifying the curriculum where it can, and helping the child better adapt where it cannot, to help them better connect with the learning goals achieve learning outcomes at their own pace.

• The flexibility and freedom in homeschooling helps in finding one's passion and taking time in practicing to excel in it.

• Homeschooling done right also provides positive socializing with peers and adults outside of the family unit.

• Homeschooling lets children be free from peer pressure, unlike any traditional schooling.

• Homeschooling gives children their time to pursue personal interests and talents, which is sometimes not possible in traditional schooling as they are burdened with school work.

India, a country that has been conditioned into thinking that there is only one way of getting your child educated that is through traditional schooling, the concept of homeschooling may seem revolutionary for some. Hence, it can prove to be revolutionary, and here lies the silver lining.

Morning Glorie is a preschool and facility that provides online homeschooling all over India. It is one of the best preschools in Gurgaon. While the pandemic has forced the kids to stay inside and has made it difficult for them to step out of homes for education, it has given parent and children alike the opportunity to explore homeschooling as not just an alternative approach to learning, but also a supplemental one to traditional methods of learning. Today, the way we do certain things has changed, specifically the education sector. 

Morning Glorie is now providing homeschooling for all kids under 5 years of age. We believe in "learning by experience" while focusing extensively on the use of readily available household objects - learning from home should not be equivalent to burden for the parent. With the growing uncertainties about the coming situation due to Covid-19 here are a few reasons why you should opt for homeschooling :

• Safety, security, and well being of the children

• One to one sessions and discussions

• Ability appropriate learning programs with a holistic learning approach

• Flexible and need-based learning

• Keeps your child away from peer pressure even while helping them develop social skills

• Helps you plan ahead - with the schedule for the day shared in advance, the program makes planning easier.

Our program also helps the children interact with a diverse peer group, as children from different parts of the country with different cultural backgrounds come together. As it is said, let them spread their wings and fly!
