In case anyone is interested to find out more about homeschooling in Singapore, you may wish to check out the annual Homeschool Fair to be held this year on 9th June. Do note that this not like those organised in the US where suppliers set up stalls to showcase their curriculum. Instead here, we have moms sharing with moms what they have used in their homeschooling journey.
Please see details for more information. Do note that I am not the organiser and am just passing along this information 🙂 I probably won’t be attending the Fair since I have a toddler and a pre-schooler who still need their naps. If you need more information, it is best you join the Singapore Homeschool Yahoo Group and ask your questions there.
I must say that the line up of talks and curricula looks good! 🙂
