FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are your enrollment periods for school year 2024-2025?
We homeschool the whole year round. Early registration for record-keeping is from January-March 2024. Regular DepEd Enrollment period is from April 1-August 9, 2024. We also accept transferees and late registration of students with special cases. These apply to both the Philippine DepEd Enrollment and US Accreditation.
For US Accreditation details, go to Victorious International
If we register early, are we officially enrolled in the DepEd or US Accreditation?
We follow the academic calendaring in terms of record keeping which is usually from July to April. However, early registration gives you the privilege of being part of the Victorious Homeschool system where you can join the GC Neighborhood homeschool support, the VH Digital Campus, and access Volt In classes.
Do you have installment plans for tuition and other fees payment?
Yes. We have payment installment options. Please message our FB Page Victorious Homeschool or any of our teachers and staff for the Payment Options.
Will I be able to transfer my child to a regular school after homeschooling?
Yes, of course! Your child will receive the same credentials as in a regular school such as the Report Card, Transcript of Records, Recommendation Letters, and others that the receiving school may request.
What are the documentary requirements for enrollment?
For DepEd enrollment or registration, we require the scanned copy of the Birth Certificate and SF9/Report Card or PEPT Result to be uploaded in the online Registration Form. We will make the formal request for the SF10/F137/Transcript of Records of Grade 1-12 students from the originating school. Include the ESC Certificate if child is a holder. For US Accreditation and/or students coming from a foreign school, we require the same except that School Credentials/ Transcript of Records must be authenticated and/or translated in English. For US Accreditation details, go to Victorious International.
Requirements are attached as scanned copies to the online registration form. Original documents are to be sent to the Registrar within 2-3 months of enrollment.
Are there other fees aside from the published tuition and fees?
DepEd Enrollment, there are NO other fees required. We do not collect any fees for online testing or assessment as the Report Card or Progress Report is sufficient to show your child has successfully finished the previous level. Other services and programs such as the FLAG and TAP are OPTIONAL. For US Accreditation, an academic consultant will be assigned to you after you register to discuss the curriculum and complete assessment of fees especially to students who are candidates for graduation.
Do you charge a different fee for differently-abled children?
Victorious Homeschool is an inclusive institution and we accept all children, and ALL children pay the SAME TUITION. Optional expenses you might have are for official diagnosis from a Developmental Pediatrician and the Flexible Learning Academic Goals (FLAG) program for Grade 4-12.
The specialized support of the FLAG Program includes the following details:
- multiple grade level access to the VOLT-In LMS to address differentiated pacing and readiness
- membership to the Good and Great Brains GC Neighborhood.
Do you have installment plans?
We have the 2-Time, 5-Time and 7-Time payment schemes. There is NO official sibling discount.
As the parent-teacher, what are my tasks and responsibilities?
Your primary task is to facilitate or guide your child’s learning process. You may consult our advisers or teachers when you need assistance via the GC Neighborhood. You are also encouraged to remain updated of announcements and engage in the Zooming In parent-teachers meeting, webinars, and monitor your child’s Volt In classes and/or learning activities.
What about grades and report cards?
As the parent-teacher or guardian, you are the sole provider of your child’s grades. We provide you with a Fillable Grading Form in the Google Classroom where you input scores (quizzes, performance tasks/projects, recitation/participation) for every quarter. There is a video tutorial to guide you and you may also request for technical assistance.
What about portfolios, projects, and others to be submitted?
We DO NOT require the traditional portfolio presentation or any unnecessary submissions. Imposing this hampers freedom and flexibility that you should enjoy in your homeschooling. However, we encourage sharing of your child's homeschool moments in any of the following platforms: Victorious Homeschool EXPO page, GC Neighborhood, Google Classroom Submission Bin, or your child's own E-Portfolio Website.
Can I still homeschool even if I have a job? What if I’m a solo parent?
No matter your situation, it is possible to homeschool with thoughtful planning and creativity. Of course, it requires commitment, and at times, sacrifice. But once you have adjusted, it becomes easier, and you will see that it will all be worth it. The most important is to deeply understand yourself, your child. and your “whys” of homeschooling. This is the way to foster Parent-Child connection which is the beginning of the true roadmap to homeschooling.
At what age can I start homeschooling?
Children aged 2-3 years old are considered Nursery Level, while children aged 4-5 years are PreKinder. DepEd registration officially begins in Kinder when the child is 5 years old by September 30 of the current year. The child will then be issued with a Learner's Reference Number (LRN). Students need to be at least 6 years old for Grade 1. We follow this age for grade levelling for the US Enrollment. For US Accreditation details, go to Victorious International.
What are the benefits of victorious homeschooling?
Parents choose to homeschool to actively monitor and teach their children because of various reasons. Aside from the freedom, flexibility and relative affordability of homeschooling, many choose to do it because of the importance they place on being together as a family and a way to avoid the unnecessary pressure to conform to norms that do not align with the family's values or belief system.
What are the usual challenges of homeschooling?
For many first-time homeschooling parents, challenges include the feeling of inadequacy in teaching academics, the fear of not teaching enough or beneath standards, and the overwhelm of trying to accomplish so many things at once. After some time, many of these parents attest that the whole process of homeschooling gets better. Recognizing that each family is unique and steering away from unhealthy comparison help you appreciate your own child and family's accomplishments, no matter how little or slow you think these achievements are. With the right support and a whole lot of faith, homeschooling can be done victoriously.
How do I know if I am qualified to teach my child?
More than academic qualification, parents should have willingness to learn and commit to educating their child. Most parents do not have a teaching degree, and yet are able to teach their children successfully.
