If you're moving with school-age children, you’re likely trying to decide between enrolling them in a local DR school or homeschooling. While the Dominican Republic offers an excellent education system, this blog will discuss why homeschooling may be more beneficial for your family.
Maintains a Familiar Curriculum
One of the biggest challenges with relocating to a new country is adjusting to new ways and methods. If your kids are doing well in school with their familiar curriculum, you may not want to interrupt their flow by moving them to a school in the DR.
Maintaining a US or Canadian education through homeschooling will help prevent your kids from falling behind in their studies and maintain stability and routine. This is also advisable if you decide to live in the Caribbean for only a portion of the calendar year.
Gives You More Freedom to Explore the Island
Homeschooling allows you to set your kids’ schedule according to what works best for the family rather than being restricted by a traditional 6 to 7-hour school day. This freedom can give your family more time to explore Cabarete, Sosua, and other parts of the Dominican North Coast. Your kids can also take their school work with them on day trips, allowing them to soak in the culture and fun of the DR while maintaining their studies!
Keeps the Door Open for Future Travels
The Caribbean is a big place with plenty to see and do! If you’d like to take the family on a trip around our slice of paradise, homeschooling gives you the freedom to travel at the drop of a hat without needing to interrupt your kids’ education.
A Unique Educational Experience
Experience is the best education, and living in the Dominican Republic is a great way to gain new insight and learn about world history, culture, language, cuisine, music, and so much more!
Cabarete and Sosua offer plenty of historical tours and other events that can round out your kids’ education beyond their standard curriculum. Getting to know locals and learning the region's customs can allow your kids to pick up new and diverse interests that they may not have otherwise discovered!
