Professional home schooling
Professional home schooling, where lessons are delivered by qualified teachers in a home classroom, has redefined the purpose of education. In addition to academic subjects, students learn valuable workplace skills such as innovation, problem-solving and entrepreneurship.
For children with a passion for music, sports or drama, flexible timetables enable full participation. Home schooling realises the efficiency and flexibility children need to fully pursue their endeavours without compromising their education.
Once considered a less academic alternative to mainstream education, home schooling is now considered a way to achieve the top academic grades, learn beyond the curriculum and nurture individual talents.
The Golden Circle is the UK's first professional home school group. Follow the link below to read their prospectus.
