Are there any beneficial homeschooling groups or activities for homeschoolers in Doha?
We've been residing in Doha for a little over a year now and we have come to two conclusions regarding education here:
(1) the public school system is definitely not suited for our children
(2) private schools are way overpriced for what they offer
We have children ranging from 16 to 1 year. All have been homeschooled since before leaving the States. My wife and I are both educators and we feel we are much more capable to teach our children than anyone else. However, if anyone knows about homeschooling, it takes hard work to give your children a well-rounded education and at the same time put them in the position to gain valuable social skills needed to work with others.
Hence, our question posted to this resourceful online community . . . are there any homeschooling groups that have regular social/ educational activities or just simple knowledge sharing sessions to benefit each other with?

check with the student councils, Community and Service and CAS managers of some international schools in doha, like doha college, cambridge school, dess, qatar academy. speak to them and try to make some arrangement, this may help both sides.
