I am from NZ and I have 3 children( 6 years , 8 years and 10 years) who are on a waiting list for the British school in Riyadh and may not get in for a few months worst case September and will have to home school them. We want them to go to British school as my husband work will only pay fully for this school. Does any one know any good Internet based schooling site that I can use to help with my home schooling as at moment I do not know where to start. Thanks

You can always use something like Alpha Omega's Switched on Schoolhouse curriculum. It's a computer-based curriculum (using install discs, not internet).

Is home schooling in KSA allowed? are there any interesting regulations or cultural customs about girls going or not being enrolled in elementary school?

Hi anonymous, homeschooling in Saudi Arabia is generally not recognised, although there are many families in the Kingdom who have chosen to homeschool their kids. You may struggle with obtaining resources and information about this.

I suggest having a read of our article about homeschooling while abroad. At the bottom of the article is a list of useful links to organisations that deal with homeschooling issues and you may find these helpful, depending on what country you are coming from and the curriculum you wish your kids to follow.
