Hello. My daughters are finishing G4 and G6 in an IGCSE school this year. We are moving to the Philippines and after considering many options, I would like to homeschool the girls but am keen on IGCSE. Please help me to understand how I should be going about this. Thanks.

  Hi Anu,
  
  If you refer to the article post above, you will see that the IGCSE exams are available twice a year. And you can register your daughters for the examination from your local British Councils or as a private candidate from the list of registered Cambridge School here: https://cie.org.uk/i-want-to/find-a-cambridge-school/.
  
  Please note that before you register your daughters for any examinations, do check with your local British Council the subject availability in your area.
  
  You can use these online revision courses here as the exam preparation: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-revision-courses/

We are from Egypt and planning for homeschooling starting from grade 10 but we are worried about the university admission. Are IGCSE homeschooling students normally accepted in Malaysia or Canada for bachelor degrees?

  Hi Nortag,
  
  IGCSE is a well-accepted qualification worldwide. There is no discrimination for home educated students. IGCSE alone won?t get you into university for most of the universities. Many universities worldwide require a combination of Cambridge International A Levels and Cambridge O Levels to meet their entry requirements.
  
  You will have to first check with the universities you wished to apply for their entry requirements. Some require a combination of excellent co-curriculum and good achievement in education.
  
  We wouldn?t know how the universities go through the admission applications but it?s definitely best to check with the universities.

  Hi Marilize,
  
  Home schooling is very popular in the African continent. There are quite a number of candidates taking our programmes from Africa.
  
  However, we currently do not have any Primary programmes. Our programmes are for the IGCSE/ O Level exam year students. You may check them out here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-revision-courses/
