Homeschooling and Open schooling
Homeschooling is an age-old method adopted across the world when parents choose to educate their children at home using less formal ways and decide not to send their children to a formal school. Homeschooling is understood to benefit, to a larger extent, children to have their self-motivated pace and stages in their learning journey. Apparently, setting educational and other life goals become much easier in homeschooling.
Ancient times in the history of India have witnessed and recorded parents and extended families as responsible caretakers who built critical life skills in their children at home. Alongside, education institutes participated with parents to take those life skills forward. These institutes took the responsibility of imparting higher-order-thinking-and-execution skills in their disciples and facilitated them to achieve greater goals in life.
The distinction was well-defined and each contributor worked reliably.
In the current times, rapidly changing dynamics and unprecedented avatar of technology have changed the meaning of education completely. Schooling children at home is meant to break away from the vicious and spiral cycle of the current education system.
Often, homeschooling is misconstrued as boycotting the formal schooling system for its badness.
However, at Diversity, we philosophically understand that homeschooling is as big a movement as growing affable and responsible citizens like ones in schools ideally.
Also, “It takes a village to raise a child“brings us a sincere responsibility to participate actively in this movement while parents choose to raise happy and responsible citizens.
To make it work in the favor of our children, the pandemic of Covid-19 has left no choice with parents and schools but to support nurturing children at home and help each other to make a better society for our children.
Currently, we are helping children up to the age of SEVEN. There is no prior qualification required. We start from where the child is emotionally ready to absorb concepts of learning willfully.
Diversity would support with its collective expertise and experience of 35+ years to parents who have decided to do homeschooling in the current pandemic situation and also while they would want to continue with homeschooling forever in the future.
We are open to the idea of open schooling at the same time to support parents to create a conducive environment for their children’s optimal learning and happiness by providing them to choose the learning domains or subjects in which they need ‘expert support.
Diversity is unique in fostering a strong partnership with its parent community to help in growing HEAD, HEART, and HANDS of our young children. It helps parents to get training so that they can appreciate the holistic development of their children and work with them in a better way. Diversity helps parents to understand concepts before resorting to picking up materials from the internet.

Parents participate with Diversity in recording the milestones during the whole journey.
