Sticking With Homeschooling Post Lockdown
As the coronavirus continues to ebb and flow unpredictably around the world, hundreds of families have turned to Wolsey Hall looking for experienced support and help and, crucially, the structure of an internationally recognised education.
Homeschooling an only child
Every family researching home education has to weigh up the pros and cons but if you are planning on homeschooling an only child, you may be extra cautious about how your child will adapt. However, there are many benefits to homeschooling an only child!
International chemistry olympiad
A Level student Vasu Kaker has been selected to be part of the UK team in the International Chemistry Olympiad Competition taking place in July. The 17-year-old student, who is homeschooling in Singapore, entered the Olympiad through Wolsey Hall Oxford.
Home Education Exam Results
It was another year of fantastic home education exam results for students at Wolsey Hall. Our IGCSE and A Level results were better than the England/UK average, proving that for some students homeschooling is the ideal way to learn.
Lack of Sleep in Teens
Sleep experts have recently warned of a sleep deprivation epidemic among schoolchildren which is affecting their wellbeing and mental health. Educational authorities are being urged to alter school hours so pupils can stay in bed longer. Getting too little sleep is linked to poor educational results, anxiety and obesity. Lack of sleep in teens is particularly relevant as their natural sleep cycle changes in adolescence meaning their bodies need to go to sleep two hours later and wake later in the morning.
Famous Homeschoolers
Famous homeschoolers is a topic close to our heart. Nelson Mandela was one of our past students who studied for his Law degree whilst in Robben Island Jail. This got us thinking about how many other famous homeschoolers there might be. The answer is a lot and there are many famous homeschoolers from across the world who have achieved great things.
