History

Homeschool Global’s beginnings can be traced back to the founding of The Master’s Academy (TMA) in 1997. In 1999, HG, through its partner school TMA, became the pioneering Home Education Program (HEP) in the Philippines as awarded by the Department of Education after a year of piloting the HEP program. Homeschool Global is also affiliated with premier US-based homeschool provider Wellspring to allow US accreditation, enabling a seamless acceptance to US schools. This is particularly beneficial to gifted local sports talents who want to pursue sports scholarships in premier US colleges. In the Middle East, HG has homes in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, all of which are fully equipped to enable parents and students residing in the Arabian Gulf to enjoy the benefits of our comprehensive services and local support. Our year-round activities and trainings are designed to empower your family in your homeschooling journey, for your children to learn most effectively. We’ve since had over 18,000 students in more than 30 countries around the world, from Pre-school to High School levels

Our Heart for Homeschooling

"Homeschooling is more than just learning, it is engaged parenting. We take the life our children 100% in our own hands. It gives you the environment to reach deep into the heart of your child. This is priceless especially in this time of great disconnect with what matters most: Relationships and conversations, with God, with people, with community. Beyond excellent curricula, nothing beats lots and lots of daily conversations with your children that will greatly impact their lives."

"Families should homeschool so parents may have a great amount of involvement in preparing their children for 'usefulness in their future stations'. It is my privilege to partner with co-homeschooling parents, journey with them to learn, unlearn, and re-learn about personalized education. It is such a joy to witness how family goals are realized, and how learners' gifts are discovered, developed, and deployed."

"We homeschool primarily for character development. Anybody can teach our children, different academic subjects but we wanted them to grow in Christlikeness. We want the complete development of the children, like Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and favor in the eyes of God and men. Another one of the opportunities that we can have as homeshchool parents is we can really develop and have time to develop the creative bent of our children."

"I was a classroom teacher—I couldn’t give my students the kind of freedom homeschooling affords. No wonder they lost motivation, no matter how dynamic a teacher a tried to be. We all learn better when we are the ones deciding what we want to learn, how we want to learn, when we want to learn. Parents are guides on the sides, mentors, coaches, and role models; and the opportunities afforded by homeschooling—travel, flexibility, passion, autonomy—is exhilarating. You will find your own love for learning grows right alongside their children’s.

"Homeschooling is well worth it and really the only way to find out is to jump into it and you'll find out that in many cases your fears are unfounded, that you'll actually find it's not as daunting as you think it is. It takes courage and faith, and but you learn that you are giving the best to your child because who would be the better teacher than the parents. I will have to credit homeschooling for reminding me too that there are many instances where you need to be able to touch the child’s heart."

“Apart from many of the functional things that homeschooling brings to the table, I love how my children's hearts become so aligned with our own so that the end goal of parenting which we embrace as a family is found in Deuteronomy 6:4-7, is to help our children learn to love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, and I've seen that the best way for our family to be able to help do that is through homeschooling and that is our why. That's what keeps us going."

“My passion for homeschooling started at our first graduation in the Middle East. I was privileged to see children honoring their parents and sharing how homeschooling has changed their relationship with their parents and God. At that moment I truly realized what we were doing is really impacting the next generation and changing lives and the world.'

OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE: HG IS ISO CERTIFIED

During its 20th year of operations in 2019, Homeschool Global began its journey of ISO certification. More specifically, the team pursued the ISO 21001:2018 and ISO 29994:2021 certifications. ISO 21001:2018 is the standard for Educational Organizations Management Systems (EOMS) for Educational Organizations, while ISO 29994:2021 is the standard for Education and Learning Services (Requirements for distance learning). "We set on this journey to really improve our excellence," says HG President Ryan Gallagher on embarking on the ISO certification journey, 'We’re not a perfect organization, and as a team, we knew we could serve our families better. And so we set out on a transformation path to achieve that.' With SGS Philippines as a partner, given their reputation as the global leader in benchmarking for quality and integrity, HG understood that they would best enable the team on such a transformational path.

As of Q3 of 2022, after a simultaneously lengthy and rewarding ISO process of training, implementing, and auditing, Homeschool Global was finally awarded both ISO 21001:2018 and ISO 29994:2021 certifications. In fact, it is the first organization in the world awarded by SGS with the certification for the Educational Organizations Management Systems (EOMS) for Educational Organizations standard (ISO 21001:2018), and the first formal education organization in the country to receive the ISO 29994:2021 certification in Distance Learning under Formal Education. “The (goal) is to improve our education programs, not just from a service perspective, but from a learning perspective, so that they will be more effective and engaging, and that homeschooling and online learning will be viewed as a more viable, more accredited, more credible form of education,” shares Gallagher regarding the awarding of these certifications. “... but as with ISO and its foundation and its fundamentals, we continue to improve all the time,” he said.
