Spiritual

To have a longer daily consistent time to spend with their children to instill Christian principals and moral values in their children.

Academic

To provide a one-on-one approach to education – choosing the curriculum and focus that is desired for each child.

To avoid some of the time – wasting activities that take up a lot of time in a large classroom.

To allow the child to work at their own pace rather than to be left behind or to have to wait for peers to catch up.

To avoid secular teaching, such as evolution.

Socialization Issues

To provide a safe learning environment for their children.

To be able to choose the situations that the children will be involved with.

To allow more time for the activities that the child has a natural bent towards.

To provide the child with a wide scope of relationships with people of ALL ages rather than with only peers of the same age.

Special Needs

If a child has special needs (ADD, handicaps, etc..), home education provides an alternative means of education surrounded with a loving family.

To Strengthen Family Relationships

Home Education provides the avenue for siblings to become friends and family ties to become stronger
