My son Jonathan could not find his feet in government schools and I made the decision to home school him. Unfortunately it was a lonely journey for him and I decided to start a learning centre, with 2 students!  Since then we have grown to 20 children and three tutors, and counting. Our story ends well. Parents are drawn to Glow Academy by its culture of kindness and a spiritual backbone. Kettle, microwave and fridge are open to be used as they would be at home. Our three dogs are an essential part of the experience, often guiding us to the child that needs a bit of special care that day. And the spectacular view from our verandah over the Cradle of Humankind lifts every spirit. Our community is designed to appreciate the diversity in age, gender, and cultural and financial backgrounds of our students. Cliques, fads and bullying have no toehold in our intimate family. Class time is balanced by lots of playtime in our huge yard. This may involve balls, dogs, tyres, sticks, stones, bugs, rough-and-tumble, a veggie garden and lots of laughter. Our junior children follow a customised curriculum that draws on best practice from places as far away as Singapore's famous Maths programme. Students progress at the pace that suits them, allowing new children to catch up without shame or anxiety. In Grade 9 we take our children on a year of discovery to prepare them for the challenge of the senior school curriculum. Our Grade 10 students have the option of GED ,  accepted by international and local tertiary institutions. Glow Academy works because all the members (parents, students and tutors) know there has to be a better way, and are prepared to contribute to the solution. Parents play their part by ensuring a stable home environment, providing the financial support, maintaining primary responsibility for the homeschooling of their child, and trusting us to do our best. Children have the courage to be home-schooled, and assume the responsibility of becoming self-directed learners.  Tutors are prepared to engage with students as complete human beings, developing a relationship that makes raw authority largely obsolete.
