Homeschooling In Australia

Homeschooling in Australia is on the rise. The latest figures show an estimated 27,000 are homeschooled across the country – a more than 24% increase since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Essentially, homeschooling is parent or guardian-led learning from home that gives parents and teenagers the opportunity to undertake self-paced learning that would otherwise be done in school, usually across a variety of areas such as English, maths, sciences and more. It is recommended parents or guardians homeschooling teens be registered with a relevant state body.

There are many reasons why more and more parents and guardians are choosing homeschooling in Australia for their teens. Some of the reasons include:

• More freedom and flexibility
• Support learning difficulties
• Religious reasons
• Curriculum control
• Geographical location
• Preferring non-traditional school systems

Many homeschooling parents and guardians value the core curriculum that online platforms offer, even if taught outside the traditional schooling system.

What makes Happow different is we enable your teenager to expand their horizons beyond traditional subjects within the Australian curriculum (such as English and maths), with core life skills that help them develop a number of capabilities including:

• Critical and creative thinking
• Personal and social capability
• Ethical understanding
• Intercultural understanding
• Sustainability

From topics such as money, health and wellness, relationships, career, community and DIY – taught by Australia’s top experts – Happow equips your teen with the life skills they need to not just survive, but thrive.

With gamified, on demand life skills at your teen’s fingertips, our aim is to stretch them to expand their abilities through fun and engaging interactive quizzes, videos and downloadable workbooks via our online courses, called Life Lessons, whilst reinforcing this with regular motivational TED-style talks, called Power Talks.

All our content is self-paced and closed-captioned, perfect for those homeschooling teens with additional needs. You choose what you want your teen to learn and when, or they can even decide for themselves. Our online platform is the perfect additional resource to other core curriculum offerings out there or great as a standalone platform too.

Included in a membership with us, our on demand Life Lessons (courses) feature Australia’s top experts including environmental activists, meditation gurus, entrepreneurs and well-known authors and educators.

The bonus? All our Lessons are gamified so your teen can have fun while learning! Quizzes will test their knowledge, workbooks will reinforce it and downloadable certificates are available for successfully completing every Lesson across money, relationships, health & wellness, DIY, community and career.
