What's Included

Home educating parents and caregivers have the primary responsibility of monitoring the quality of their children’s education by creating a robust curriculum and regularly reflecting on progress made. This can often feel daunting at various stages throughout the process. With EP you can create a customized educational plan for each child, whilst ensuring that your child’s needs are met by the education that you provide.

Homeschooling focuses on the importance of parents and caregivers facilitating children’s learning by connecting materials and curricula with each child’s interests, together with creating an environment that encourages children to explore and discover. What EP provides is the perfect educational software to meet all of these requirements in a fun, rewarding and uniquely customisable way.

Our EP smart lesson platform provides parents and caregivers with a comprehensive NZ homeschooling curriculum and NCEA level 1, 2 and 3 aligned library of interactive and fully customisable resources and lessons.

EP is an invaluable teaching resource that can be used by children at home to learn independently under the direction of their parents, who are able to assign tasks and track their children’s progress easily and efficiently.

All EP content for Science, Maths and English is built specifically for the New Zealand Curriculum with resources that are broken down by curriculum area or strand then sub topic and then curriculum level. EP has levelled diagnostic tests in each of these core subject areas and the ability to run pre and post tests using curriculum levelled questions. English, Maths and Science also contain full coverage of NCEA Level 1 to Level 3 external standards and the vast majority of key internal standards.

Meeting Homeschooling Requirements in NZ

EP can provide homeschool parents and caregivers with everything needed for children to successfully meet all requirements of the NZ homeschooling curriculum and NCEA Level 1,2 and 3.

In New Zealand any parent or legal guardian of a child aged between 5 and 16 years of age may apply to home educate. To gain approval, your application must satisfy the Ministry that your child will be taught at least as regularly and as well as they would be in a registered school. If your child has special education needs, the application must show that these needs will be met. If you get approval to home educate, you will receive a Certificate of Exemption from Enrolment at a Registered School. This indicates you are legally responsible for providing, supervising and monitoring your child’s learning programme.

The Ministry can only issue a Certificate of Exemption when it is satisfied that you are willing and able to be responsible for an appropriate program of education for your child (ie. that your child will be taught at least as regularly and as well as they would at a registered school).

The application form you are required to complete asks you to provide full details about how you intend to home educate your child, including:

• A description of your home education approach, philosophy and/or curriculum
• A description of intended learning areas and/or subjects
• A description of the resources and reference materials you have available to teach your child, and an explanation of how you intend to use them
• Short and long-term educational goals for your child
• An example of a special project or topic plan covering learning goals, resources, teaching methods, progress and achievement measures
• A description of how you intend to measure and record progress and achievement in relation to the learning goals
• A demonstration of regularity – when, how often and for how long you will teach your child.
