We’re already deep into the second term of 2026 and time for the March/April issue of SA Homeschooling & Beyond. 

Inspired by my own experience of starting online homeschooling for my youngest daughter, we updated Anel van der Merwe’s excellent “Homeschooling for Beginners” guide. This issue also includes an insightful, if controversial, opinion from Karin van Oostrum of the Pestalozzi Trust on global homeschooling trends following a recent UNESCO report.

Preparing kids for university life is another focus: David Botha gives us a refresher course on how to teach our kids about financial independence. Finally, prioritize your own health with a fat loss healthy snack regime contributed by our new parent fitness coach, Dorian Apollos.

Enjoy!
