You play a key role in the success of your child’s learning, especially in a homeschool setup. Homeschool Global will partner with you as you increase your involvement in your child’s learning. Parents and/or guardians are in-charge of leading their child’s learning, and actively communicating with their assigned Advisors. Reporting of grades (quizzes, performance tasks/projects, recitation/participation) is part of your quarterly tasks.
Under the Touch program, you will be getting support from two Advisors. Your Learning Advisor provides academic supervision and support tailored according to your needs. Throughout your homeschool year, your Learning Advisor is here to: help you personalize and customize your child’s curriculum to maximize his/her learning potential; provide you with support ensuring that parents and students are on track with accurate records; offer academic guidance in accordance with their individual educational expertise; and assist you with other academic program services and concerns.
You will also have a dedicated Family Advisor (FA), a seasoned homeschooler herself, who will partner with you through your homeschooling journey. Your FA will support and encourage you every step of the way in your homeschooling journey as well as in setting up initially. She is here to: serve as a counselor, encourager, and resource to turn to for tips and ideas; facilitate quarterly or semi-annual portfolio reviews and provide input on the grades; assist with curriculum decisions, help keep parents and students on track with their homeschool year, and manage recordkeeping; and provide you with biblical counsel, and emotional and practical support throughout the homeschool year.
The Portfolio Review is your child’s quarterly assessment with us. This is a discussion between your child and his/her Advisor where they go through all the important learnings and goals achieved throughout the term. This assessment is for one (1) hour/student (45 minutes with the student and 15 minutes providing feedback to the parent). Each child shall be given a designated Portfolio Review Schedule every Portfolio Month (February, May, August, and November).
To help with your child’s pre-test and post-test is the MobyMax assessment and learning resource which is web-based. Aside from using this tool for your child’s pre- and post-tests, the subscription to MobyMax will include online remedial activities to fix the child’s learning gaps in Math, Language, and Science (with the latter as optional subject that you may add). You are free to access the diverse lessons and manipulatives included in the tool for the whole school year.

HG also offers Online Group Tutorials in Math, Science, English, Filipino, and Social Studies for Grades 1 to 10 students under Touch, Tech – BJU, Tech – AOP, and Online Academy (PH and US accreditation) through the help of professional teachers. Good for one academic year (or 10
months), the tutorial will happen in a group setting wherein your child will join other students of the same grade level. There is a set mini-lesson for 15 minutes, but the majority of the time (35 minutes) is given for students to ask questions via chat while the teacher will discuss
these questions or finish with a check up game or activity if there are no questions.

This comes with periodic individual and/or group workshops, parent teacher conferences/ consultations, online curriculum or book-based curriculum options, and curriculum modification with specialized academic goal setting.
