Why Homeschool?
It is our belief that the number of moral risks to children’s immortal souls is at such a level that homeschooling is the only real option. This might be controversial and many think it is beyond them, however we think that often it is the misunderstandings and the fear of the unknown that causes that reaction.
We have published five articles from homeschoolers at different stages highlighting both the benefits and the difficulties of homeschooling to help overcome many of the fears and misunderstandings used against it.
We intend to act as a facilitator for those approaching homeschool education to put families in touch with some of the excellent teachers now out of work due to “vaccine mandates.”

Oceania Catholic Homeschooler
Oceania Catholic Homeschooler exists to help parents educate their children in the Faith. We do this by sharing the real experience of homeschooling mums, and people who were homeschooled, so that all can learn a little bit more about authentic Faith-based education in the home. We also publish stories about activities and resources that may be of use to homeschoolers and others.
Many homeschooling parents have been consulted in the course of producing OCH, and have given their time to be interviewed for articles. Articles draw directly on the experience of homeschooling families to give an accurate impression of what homeschooling is like.
Anastasia Marambos was homeschooled for her entire life, using a classical curriculum, before completing a Certificate of Arts in Media and Communication at University of Canterbury and a Diploma of Liberal Arts in the Foundations of Western Tradition at Campion College. Currently, she lives near Christchurch, New Zealand, with her parents and nine younger siblings. She plans to pursue further study online while working. From a young age, Anastasia has been passionate about journalism, literature, and quality education.
