DCEG Home Schools

What is home schooling?

Home Schooling is a medium of schooling where the learner stays at home and is taught by parents, as opposed to going into a traditional school daily and being taught in a classroom by teachers.

Home Schooling still requires that you register your child with the Department of Education, but as a Home Schooler.

You will then need to find a curriculum provider from which to receive content, guidance and assistance throughout the year. That is where we, as a Home School Academy, come in.
