Emirates Homeschooling

Dubai and Northern Emirates Homeschool Association

Our Mission

We homeschool for many different reasons, but our shared goal is to fan the spark, the desire to learn, that all children are born with, and to provide a nurturing and loving environment to facilitate that learning. Toward this end we strive to be open-minded, tolerant, and tactful.

We also aim to be aware of and responsive to the needs of others in our group. Our desire is to provide a source of support, inspiration, and friendships for members of all homeschooling families in the area.

We are not a school and we do not provide tutoring services or teach children other than our own (on a regular basis). Our association does not condone nor encourage the violation of local laws in the pursuit of homeschooling.

Which are the Northern Emirates?

All emirates in the United Arab Emirates, north of Abu Dhabi. That includes Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah.

Why join?

This homeschooling group is a place where we can share issues, ideas and encouragement in regards to homeschooling. It also provides a forum to communicate about upcoming field trips, special events, meetings, and enrichment classes in a safe and secure environment. When asked what concerns homeschooling parents had, the above items were on almost everyone’s list. Therefore, the group seeks to provide an outlet wherein we can accomplish these goals and many others that may arise as we journey down the homeschooling path. Since the Emirates has a high turnover of population, it is the aim of the group to establish this constant venue so that any homeschooling family in the Emirates can receive support and maintain communication with others.
