Homeschooling is a new but growing concept in India. With awareness spreading about the benefits of homeschooling, many parents are looking for options beyond the traditional schooling system. To cater to their needs, we actually have a complete K-12 (Kindergarten to 12th) education system in India that is completely virtual – a school at home! Sharing more details about iNaCA (International Connections Academy) in India and why virtual schooling is a great choice for many, in today’s post.
An Online School Is a Great Choice in Many Situations
You don’t really need a reason to look for an option for education. Our traditional education system is not everyone’s cup of tea. I would be lying if I said I have never considered homeschooling! And yet, there are some situations that can benefit a lot with a virtual education system. Here are some examples of how it can help you:
- Offers personalized academics for students pursuing passion in Sports, Music of the Arts
- Families, both native to India and expats living in India, who are looking for an American K-12 School
- Children who have missed their school admission cycle
- Children with learning differences who are highly gifted or students for whom mobility is limited due to physical disabilities or those who have Attention Deficit Disorder and other special needs
- Accredited School-at-Home Options – Personalised learning environment
- Occupational restrictions like commuting to school is sometimes not possible due to a number of reasons
