Home Schooling

Once you have made a decision to home school your children, the next thing you have to decide upon is what teaching method you plan to use. There are a huge variety of options available today, as a search of the internet will demonstrate. The best way to decide upon which home school program is the best for you is to base your decision up the reason you want to home school your children and what you want the focus of that education to be. If the reason you decided on homeschooling is the fact that regular schools have a fixed pace of teaching which cannot be modified to suit the needs of an individual child and you want the education your children get to be based on Christian values and practice, then the Alpha Omega home school program may be the right choice for you.

The Alpha Omega home school allows children to work and progress at their own pace without time pressures from their teachers or demoralizing comments form their peers. With the Alpha Omega home school a child may understand a subject completely ( to the appropriate level) before moving on to the next. This ensure that children do not get confused or lose interest by studying a subject they do not fully understand. There are two options available for the Alpha Omega home school. The first is the normal system of text and work books, along with material for the parent to use in the teaching process. However, since many parents have neither the knowledge to teach certain subject nor the time to learn what they need to know to be able to teach their children, the Alpha Omega home school can also use specially designed CDs or DVDs to supplement the parents' efforts. These are specially designed keeping the Alpha Omega process and values in mind. This is especially useful for parents with more than one child to teach - one child can work with the CD based instruction while the other is being taught by the parent.

Parents are however cautioned that allowing an over relaxed attitude to the pace of study can cause a child to feel that he or she can take their own time in learning and may result in children having a huge backlog study areas by the time they reach the high school stage.

For parents who wish to place a Christian emphasis on the education their children are receiving, Alpha Omega home school is a great option. There are a number of church study programs that are part of the Alpha Omega curriculum. Parents are free to choose any of these to add to the teaching program. However, if none of these are found suitable there are other church, Bible or other Christian study programs that are available separately and may be added to the Alps Omega system. The flexibility of he Alpha Omega home school system is that it allows for different modules from different sources to be added on, the only criteria being that the teaching of these should be the same as in Alpha Omega - the child studies at his or her own pace.
