First up, let’s talk about island rules. In Guam, homeschooling operates under the private instruction statute.
Translation? You’re the captain of this educational ship, and there are no teacher qualifications or standardized tests required. That’s right, no paperwork or permission slips from the principal’s office here! Just you and your mini scholar setting sail on the seas of knowledge.
To keep things above board, make sure you’re teaching your child for at least three hours a day, 170 days a year. Feel free to swap that beach umbrella for a study umbrella—rain or shine, education is always in season!Now, onto the curriculum.
You’ll need to cover the same subjects taught in Guam’s public schools. So brush up on your language arts, math, social studies, science, PE/health, music/art, and computer education. And remember, all of this should be taught in English. But hey, feel free to spice it up with a little island flair!
Homeschooling in Guam means you’re the boss, with a little guidance from the island’s educational vibe. Dive in, have fun, and who knows, maybe you’ll end up teaching the next great explorer of the Pacific! Hit that subscribe button for more educational adventures, and I’ll catch you later!
