Question:
Homeschooling in China?
I live in China and I'm South African, does anyone know of any good
homeschooling programs that I could do from here? preferably one that

grade I just do one single subject.

Hi! I live in China and I home school my daughters, they are enrolled
in a online school, and they are doing entire grades. I would like to
help you, I hope you find out do you looking for. Good luck!
Answer2:
I looked for information as to the laws about education in China. Home
schooling does not appear to be illegal in China. One website even
offered links for home schooling options. You did not mention what
grade you are in. I understand that you do not want materials that
span all subjects for one grade, but it would have been helpful to
know whether you are high school age or younger. If you are 11th or 12
grade, you can go to online college sites and search for classes in
which to be dual-enrolled. This means that the classes you take will
count both for high school and college. Even if you are younger, the
type of schooling choice you seek is still generally known as the
university model of schooling. Just like at a university, you only
choose the subjects that interest you instead of a package deal. If
you are younger than 11th grade and still want to pick and choose just
the classes you want from various publishers, I recommend using
www.rainbowresource.com as the most inexpensive source for gathering
your materials. They publish a catalog that is the size of an old
Sears catalog (about the width of four fingers) and is filled with
reviews on most of what they sell. To my knowledge, all online schools
for underclassmen, junior high and elementary only offer full grade
levels and not the university model of schooling.
