And what are the advantages?

The benefits and joys of homeschooling are almost beyond numbering!

Academically, homeschooling parents have the freedom to put together an educational program that is suited for each child as an individual, tailored specifically to his or her learning style and needs, something that traditional schools simply can't do because of the number of students they must serve. Parents have the time and flexibility to let a child learn at his or her own pace and to delve deeper into topics of personal interest. They have the freedom to study the Bible and to spend more time reading.

Socially, homeschooled children tend to be closer to their families and less peer-dependent than traditionally schooled children. They also tend to relate well to a wide range of ages of people and are comfortable interacting with adults and seniors, as well as people their own age.
