Awards

Before we homeschooled, our eldest son has joined math competitions through his school. We have encouraged him and he has gained recognition in World Math's Day as no. 9 in Australia for his age division in 2010 and no. 4 in Australia for his age division in 2011.

We never really thought that as homeschoolers, our boys would achieve awards in competitions but they did and one of them was even awarded a medal as No. 3 in the World for his grade/year level in the World Education Games 2015. He was also No. 1 in Australia for his grade/year level.

This just goes to show that being homeschooled doesn't mean you will be inferior. You can actually achieve things if you try your best.

So far our boys have gone on to 4 online competitions, in 4 different years and each time they have done fairly well.
