homeschooling

Hi we would like to unschool our kids and thinking to move to Tenerife.

But it is very hard to find out something about homeschooling on Tenerife.

I already found out that it is not legal but also not illegal. But that is all. Couldn't find out if there are any regulations.

Like in AU were they are totally free - unschooling the kids and they don't have to make any test - no regulations - they can learn there way.

Does anyone know something about homeschooling on Tenerife and can help us - because if it is very hard or they have to make any test then we have to think about somewhere else.

Thanks

At the moment, as far as I know, there is no legislation on homeschooling. It is not illegal but it is not recognized either. So you are going into a very grey area. You might find this page helpful:

We live in Tenerife 4 months each year, we have 3 children that we homeschool, 13 year old son, 5 year old daughter and a baby 18 months. We would love to know if there are other homeschooling families that we could meet up with during our time there.

Back to the original subject. How does home or unschooling look like now? Any regulations? Do you need to register the kids somewhere? Can they do exams at schools to be able to go to university one day? In short how does it look like?

In case you need sometimes or regulary extra pair of hands, I'm looking for au pair etc work as well as working for creative Project. I have lots of qualifications, incl degree in education. Lets connect with each other unschoolers, homeschoolers, worldschoolers!
