Homeschooling in New Zealand

 

Homeschooling in New Zealand is legal, however, you should first get approval from the local Ministry of Education office before you begin. More information on home education is available on the Parent’s website. There are many benefits to homeschooling. For one, your child will have unlimited learning and socialisation opportunities. Second, he or she will be able to measure their learning against NCEA standards.

Homeschooling in New Zealand is possible on a tight budget, but it can also cost thousands of dollars per year. While homeschooling is a legitimate option, it does require planning and preparation from the parents. The government provides money to homeschoolers to cover some of their operating expenses. This money is paid directly to the homeschoolers’ bank accounts. While the cost of homeschooling varies greatly from family to family, it is typically cheaper than going to a traditional school.
