Homeschooling in Kenya

Post new topic

Bhavna

Hello everyone,

Homeschooling your children as an expat in Kenya will definitely come with its load of challenges. Here is a special call to parents who are already homeschooling their children or who plan on doing so to share any information they might have.

Should you opt for homeschooling, is it legal in Kenya ? Do you require to register your child or do you need any kind of permission / exemption from the authorities ?  If it is not legal, what alternative option/s do you have ?

How do you go about getting all the necessary educational resources (books, syllabus, notes etcÂ…) to pursue your childrenÂ’s education in Kenya ? Does it depend on the curriculum ?

What do you add in your homeschooling techniques to help educate your child that might not be offered or available in traditional schooling ?

How do you socialise homeschooled children in Kenya by providing them opportunities to interact with other children ?

If you have any interest in homeschooling, could you please share your views on the pros and cons ?

Thank you for sharing your experience,
Bhavna

Hi, homeschooling is legal in Kenya, there is one restrictions, student who is homeschool can not take the exams called KCPA and KCSA exams, to go to University in Kenya, which are mandatory for Kenyans.. On the other hand, you are not suppose to inform Kenyan authorities for homeschooling..
