WELCOME TO
HOMESCHOOL
GLOBAL!
At HG, we are passionate about helping families
grow deeper in learning. It is our commitment to be
with you every step of the way, guiding you to help
your child learn better.

Homeschooling provides a unique opportunity to


spend valuable time with your child and be the
primary influence in his/her life, and it is our prayer
that despite the challenges you will encounter,
especially on your first year, your eyes will be fixed
on the unparalleled reward of seeing your child grow
in wisdom, stature, favor with God, and favor with
man (Luke 2:52). Keep this in mind when the going
gets tough. May you find homeschooling a great
blessing to your family.
