Personalised Programs

  • Our programs are designed to capture kids’ interests and help them build solid literacy and numeracy skills while enjoying learning.

  • Relax! There’s no need for lesson planning. Home schooling is not just ‘school at home’. You don’t need to replicate the school classroom experience. And you don’t need to act like a teacher.

  • Our programs are properly aligned with the New South Wales syllabuses and are fully registrable with NESA (NSW Education Standards Authority). Topics are carefully selected to meet curriculum outcomes without repeating material your child has already encountered in mainstream schooling.

  • Our starting point for creating your child’s program is their unique, personal passions and interests. We can help you bring out their best and enable them to discover their talents.

  • We assess your child’s skills to maximise their ability to succeed. Activities increase in difficulty by small increments so they’re challenged but not stretched too far beyond their growing abilities.

  • The pace of learning, timing, and schedules (if any) are determined by you and your child, not by a strict schedule. There are no submission deadlines, no high pressure – your child is free to learn at their own pace.

What’s in the box?

  • English workbooks deliver methodical teaching of spelling, vocabulary, punctuation, grammar and written expression for regular practice which is essential for strong literacy skills. We use a world-class Mathematics program that delivers content through explicit instruction and mastery learning.

  • We provide you with an impressive, A3 size professional portfolio which they’ll fill with their best work. The portfolio is a great motivator for kids to do high quality work. Showcasing project work demonstrates that we truly value their efforts and achievements. You can present the portfolio at your assessment interview as evidence of learning, then hold onto it as a permanent record of your child’s home schooling successes.

  • We use only the highest quality books - all individually matched to your child’s literacy ability, their previous experiences with books and their unique feelings about reading. They expose your child to a range of text types, reading and writing tasks and teach them how to think and analyse, not what to think.

    We’ve harnessed the power of graphic organisers to enhance memory and learning. As students work with books and writing responses, they are internalising and personalising information. Through our unique journalling approach to note-making, children encounter interactivity without screen time and subscriptions.

    But it's not all BOOKS. The best learning programs are an eclectic mix that stimulate all the physical senses - because everyone learns differently.

  • Our Pick & Mix Projects deliver a wide range of practical activities that address all the core subject areas and electives. Each project will expand practical experience in speaking, listening, thinking, problem-solving, creating, testing, adapting and innovating. Projects may include gaming challenges, films, television documentaries, online videos, digital and audio resources designed for an immersive learning experience. It’s vital to capture children’s interest with compelling content to successfully teach them new skills. Kids who struggle with reading really enjoy accessing rich, engaging content effortlessly - and viewing and listening are ideal for that purpose. We’ve also included projects that will get your child outdoors and into hands-on, active learning experiences.

  • Your child will receive one or more customised kits including items such as quality art and craft supplies, model-making kits, journals and more.

  • To really enthuse your child, we’ll also include a few surprises.

Every program is unique to a particular learner, which means these pictures are only examples of our packages.

How personal, customised programs help students

Here’s what’s happened with some of our past students:

Amber – worked through our Design Portfolio projects, which got her interested in creating unique designs for swimwear. At 16, she’s recently launched her own business.

Kieran – left school and began working in his parents’ farming business. He chose to do the Work Education elective in place of History or Geography, and is now working part-time, while finishing his Year 10 studies. He has also received on-the-job training in agriculture and is loving the freedoms that come with earning his own money.

Evangeline – has always wanted to become a veterinary nurse, specialising in horses. She landed a voluntary job at a vet clinic and chose Work Education as part of her Coach House Home School Program. Evangeline is now enrolled in tertiary studies in equine nursing and is performing well in her course because she spent a good deal of her study time in Year Ten working through the university textbook ahead of her classmates.

Lily – always struggled with Mathematics right through school. She began home schooling in Year 9 and Coach House set her up with a Maths program that re-taught everything she’d missed in her middle Primary school years. Lily completed four years’ worth of Maths in half that time and has just completed her Certificate IV in Retail Management at TAFE.

Will – didn’t like Primary school at all and left quite disillusioned in Year 5. His Coach House program caught him up in literacy and numeracy in just one year. His home situation changed, so he returned to mainstream schooling for Year 7. Will now has total confidence that he can keep up with the work.
