    Default Homeschooling: Application for exemption

    Hi, we have just moved to NZ last week n would like to continue homeschooling our kids. Understand that we need to apply for exemption from MoE. Anyone knows if there is a specific format for it? Anybody can share a sample of the submitted form/key requirements? I am worried that what i submit is not what is required by the MoE. Appreciate any assistance.

    Thanks in advance.

    I was looking into homeschooling last year (didn't end up going ahead) and found a lot of really good info on the internet (sorry I can't remember the sites now but you'll find them if you search homeschooling). There are several homeschoolers on the forum, here's a couple of recent discussions:

    What are are you in? There are some branches that are really homeschool friendly, and there are a couple that make applicants jump through more hoops than what they are actually legally able to do. The MOE is actually doing a review of the exemption process right now, and they are working to make it more friendly and trying to better understand unschoolers. I really suggest you get on facebook and look at all the NZ Homeschooling groups on there. There are several closed groups and an open one. All of the lovely people there are very helpful and willing to look over your application. NZ has a rather large homeschooling network, so do take advantage. Another good site to look is HEF..home education foundation in New Zealand. If you want more info on the groups, send me a PM. Good Luck!
