Homeschooling – your digital school teacher
There can be various reasons why the need for homeschooling arises – often it is external circumstances such as illness or isolation. In that situation, homeschooling can be a necessary solution, where the parents take over the responsibility for the education for a shorter or longer period. But it can be difficult as parents to suddenly have to figure out how to approach it.
With School To Go, you as a family have an online school teacher who supports the teaching. We have several thousand lesson plans distributed across all grade levels, so there is plenty of inspiration and support to draw on so that the child continues to receive the necessary education despite the circumstances.
What is homeschooling?
Homeschooling is a form of education where parents choose to teach their child at home instead of sending them to a traditional school. It is often a conscious choice made based on family values, a desire for more flexible living, or because the child may thrive better with a different approach to learning.
Get qualified learning at home without interruptions
School To Go offers a structured solution for parents facing the challenge of homeschooling their child. All of our curriculum follows the state's official learning and competency goals and aligns with the school's core curriculum, so you as a family can be sure that you are following the rules for homeschooling.
Our online curriculum platform provides access to classes for grades 1-9 in all the school's traditional and modern subjects, including Danish, mathematics and English. This makes School To Go a useful tool for homeschooling, as you ensure that your child can continue their learning in the safe environment of their home without interruption.
Easily accessible and concrete content
Since all of School To Go's educational materials are online, it creates great flexibility for you as a family. You can therefore pull up the platform whenever it makes sense in your everyday life.
All our content is built on the same structure, so it is easy to access and understand. Each lesson comes with a 20-minute audio file that introduces the topic, and then you can dive into tasks together and work on the topic further. This therefore reduces the workload for you as parents, as you do not have to plan and organize all the teaching yourself.
Whatever the reason for you as a family to homeschool your child – and regardless of how long the homeschooling lasts – with School To Go you have access to both easily accessible and concrete content, so you can ensure that your child's learning continues despite physical absence from school.
Rules and legislation for homeschooling
Homeschooling in Denmark is permitted as a substitute for traditional schooling, but it is important that homeschooling follows the rules. According to the Primary School Act, parents have the right to homeschool their children as long as the education is on par with what is offered in primary school.
The municipality supervises the education to ensure that it meets the academic requirements. This means that parents must ensure that their home school follows the necessary standards and, if necessary, have their child take tests to document the quality of the education.
Help and subsidies for homeschooling
There are usually no direct subsidies provided to parents who choose homeschooling, but it may be a good idea to investigate what options exist for subsidies for homeschooling through the municipality.
Municipalities can offer guidance and resources that can facilitate the homeschooling process, including access to school materials and guidance on how to best structure teaching. Although there are no fixed subsidies for homeschooling, you can contact your municipality to inquire about financial support or other relevant resources.
We can recommend using a social advisor via www.digitalsocialraadgiver.dk if there is a need for individual advice and consultancy.
