🇵🇭 Homeschooling in the Philippines

Yes. The Department of Education (DepEd) recognises homeschooling as an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) through its Homeschooling Program, set out in DepEd Order No. 001, s. 2022 (Revised Policy Guidelines on Homeschooling Program). Under this program your child is enrolled with a public or private school that offers homeschooling, and you teach at home with the school's support.

  • Both public and private schools can offer the Homeschooling Program. Private schools need a Permit to Offer from DepEd, and public schools need authorisation from the DepEd Regional Office.
  • Parents or guardians are the primary teachers and are responsible for monitoring their child's work and progress.
  • The school head assigns a Homeschool Coordinator who enrols learners, monitors their progress and supports parents.
  • Learners should have textbooks or modules in print or digital form, a suitable learning space at home and a learning plan.
  • The program follows the DepEd curriculum, which is moving to the MATATAG Curriculum in phases from School Year 2024–2025.
  • Policies are updated from time to time. Ask the school you plan to enroll with and check DepEd's website for the current rules.

Frequently asked questions

Is homeschooling legal in the Philippines?

Yes. The Department of Education (DepEd) recognises homeschooling as an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) through its Homeschooling Program, set out in DepEd Order No. 001, s. 2022 (Revised Policy Guidelines on Homeschooling Program). Under this program your child is enrolled with a public or private school that offers homeschooling, and you teach at home with the school's support.

Can I use these games for homeschooling?

Yes. All 67 games, the printable worksheets and the Daily Math Challenge are free, with no sign-up. Many homeschool families use them for short daily practice alongside their main lessons.

How many hours a day should we homeschool?

There is no single answer. Younger children often need only 1–3 hours of focused learning a day, because one-on-one teaching is efficient. Older children usually do more.
