Testimonial

20 years ago, unhappy with the education that my son was receiving at school, I embarked on the journey of home education. Since then I have home educated all of my six children, for varying amounts of time, and with my youngest sitting his IGCSEs in January inshallah, it shall sadly be coming to an end Not only has it provided my children with the tools to live successful, rewarding lives mashallah - a doctor, two teachers, a family support worker, a graphic designer and, inshallah, a future engineer. It has also given them the freedom to develop their own identities.
