Homeschool Intro and Diagnostic Test
The Homeschool Intro is an orientation given at least once every month. During this meeting, you will find out what homeschooling is all about, who Homeschool Global is, and how you can get started. Simultaneous with this Intro, your grade school child can take the Diagnostic Test. This Diagnostic Test reveals your child’s strengths and skills, as well as possible learning gaps. After 5 working days, an Advisor will sit down with you to discuss where your child is at and will recommend curriculum best suited to his or her needs.
Enrollment and Commitment Form
Upon submission of requirements for enrollment, payment of tuition fee, and purchase of books, you will be asked to sign the Commitment Form.
Signing the Commitment Form entitles you to consultations with your Family Advisor. The signed Commitment Form also serves as a reminder to proactively inform your Advisor of the status of your homeschooling, of factors that delay or extend your school year, or of any change in addresses, contact numbers, address, marital status, and so on.

Connect
The Connect Program helps get families to dynamically interact with one another, through small groups called Co-ops consisting of families in similar locations or lifestages. By connecting these families, homeschoolers can exchange ideas and best practices, encourage and support each other, and even allow friendships to be formed. Homeschooling is easier, lighter, and brighter when families Co-op together! Parents receive invaluable support from other parents as they connect and share their homeschooling experiences. A parent who are strong in a subject or life skill takes turns teaching kids in the co-op. Being in a co-op ensures success in homeschooling.
