Homeschooling in Tunisia

Hello everyone,

Homeschooling your children as an expat in Tunisia will definitely come with its load of challenges. Here is a special call to parents who are already homeschooling their children or who plan on doing so to share any information they might have.

Should you opt for homeschooling, is it legal in Tunisia ? Do you require to register your child or do you need any kind of permission / exemption from the authorities ?  If it is not legal, what alternative option/s do you have ?

How do you go about getting all the necessary educational resources (books, syllabus, notes etc…) to pursue your children's education in Tunisia ? Does it depend on the curriculum ?

What do you add in your homeschooling techniques to help educate your child that might not be offered or available in traditional schooling ?

How do you socialise homeschooled children in Tunisia by providing them opportunities to interact with other children ?

If you have any interest in homeschooling, could you please share your views on the pros and cons ?

Thank you for sharing your experience,
Bhavna

Hi dear expats,

I'm really thinking about starting the homeschooling for my daughter who is not appreciating school in Sousse. There is a german solution of guided home schooling organised by the ILS.

In fact, I'm having a big issue with the socialising factor and I'm looking for other families that chose this way for their children, too.

I would be happy to discuss this with other families.

Best regards,
Claudia

Hi dear Claudia,
Unfortunately I don't know much about homeschooling in Tunisia or know anyone who does it but I'd like to offer my help if you ever need any concerning homework or babysitting or if you're interested in teaching your daughter a second or third language.
I am an engineering student living in Sousse i speak English and frensh fluently, I know Italian as well.
Best regards
