[quote=\"beanbear\"]Can anyone advise if a parent needs to seek exemption if a child is homeschooled from secondary level onwards? If a child attends primary school regularly then at secondary school, opts for homeschool, must we tell MOE?


What options are available in terms of syllabus for Secondary level? If I want my child to still have option to attend Singapore polytechnics or university, must we still work towards sitting for the \"O\" Levels & \"A\" Levels exams here?

Beanbear,
I homeschooled my daughter when she was in secondary school. She was already in a sec school. When we decided to homeschool, we just informed the school and took her out. Quite unlike Primary school when you have to fill out quite a few form and inform the school of the syllabus.

To get into Poly, you must finish GCE O levels, iGCSE or GCSE, or use IB. To get into Singapore university, you can choose from 'A' levels, IB, US Diploma. For universities, different faculties will have different criteria. And yes, you can homeschool your child and get him/her prepared for any university course, including medicine, law and engineering, the more 'heavy' courses. You just need to provide the right facilities at home.

Hope this helps.

Thanks 2ppaamm. What curriculum resources did you use for your Secondary school child? What do you consider to be adequate \"facilities\"? If I decide to get my daughter to do SAT instead, what online resources would you recommend?

DH & I were exploring this question about our DD. Her ADD and dyspraxia makes her seem so inadequate in the Singapore's harsh system. Yet, there are many moments, we both could see how smart, creative & entrepreneurial she is. I can't help but feel that if I don't explore a different path for her, I as her parent am creating a path of slow & sure death for her in this current system; one that diminishes her natural gifts. Yet, we both feel she needs some basic qualifications, but is \"O\" levels basic enough? Are there alternative \"basic\" educational qualifications?

I've been on this traditional pathway that I'm quite blur about the different educational pathways. I'm hoping someone could shed some light especially parents who are familiar with education systems elsewhere.[/quote]Hi... so to homeschool in sec, you just write to the principal, is that all? Did your child do SAT or GCE O levels?
