Flexible, Affordable K–12 Academic Support for Filipino Families Worldwide
For Filipino families living abroad or in the Philippines, education must be flexible, affordable, and future-proof. The Filipino Institute Homeschool & Self-Paced K–12 Program is designed to support learners from Nursery to Grade 12 through self-paced, virtual, and face-to-face academic support options, while official academic authority is handled by DepEd-accredited partner schools in the Philippines.
This setup gives families global flexibility while staying aligned with Philippine education requirements for records, assessments, transferability, and long-term recognition.
How the Homeschool & Self-Paced K–12 Program Works
This program uses a clear two-layer structure: academic authority through a partner school and academic support through Filipino Institute.
