| With the increase in the number of children being home-schooled there is a greater need for the provision of alternative mathematics and science education programs. With this in mind the Academy has tutorials available that can fulfill students’ requirements for education outside of the usual school structure. | |

Parents of home-schooled kids may find that, though enjoying many of the benefits of home based learning, upon reaching more difficult areas of mathematics and science, require outside assistance. Also, some home-school students may have a keen interest in mathematics, science or computing, but are having difficulty pursuing these interests due to lack of specialist resources and mentors. This is an even bigger problem for young people attending conventional schools. The additional advantage that homeschoolers have over their regular schooled peers, is to take advantage of their educational freedom and find assistance outside of the home to complement and add to their home-based learning program. |
