A personalised, one-on-one online session designed to help you begin homeschooling with peace of mind and confidence.

Starting home education can feel overwhelming — especially with so many curriculum options, learning approaches, and questions about the BELA Act. The Home Education Starter Consultation provides clear grounded guidance to help your family make informed decisions that align with your values and your child’s unique needs.

Drawing on over 20 years of experience in home education advocacy, family support, and education policy, this session gives you a practical and balanced overview of what homeschooling looks like in South Africa today.

What You Will Gain

During your consultation, we cover:

• What home education is and how it works in everyday life
• Different learning approaches
• Curriculum options and pathways to Matric (or alternatives)
• The legal landscape under the BELA Act — explained simply and clearly
• The practical implications of registering or not registering

You will leave with clarity, direction, and confidence to start with home education.
