I homeschool overseas. I have a 4th grader, 2nd grader, and kindergartener. We live in an area with very few expats, and I am the only person who homeschools in our town, as far as I know. Local schools are poor quality and my children would stick out too much. I would be concerned for their safety at school for various reasons. However, there is a local, non-traditional school that my children attend on Fridays. I'd hoped it would help their language learning and that they'd gain friends, but it isn't really meeting my expectations. My oldest does speak the local language fairly well, but my boys do not, and it is a challenge because I want them to be able to interact with non-English speaking friends easily. As far as resources, our organization has shipped a homeschool order once a year, but we are transitioning to a new organization, and I'll have to being all my supplies back with me. That will be a huge change. I am thankful for every book and resource I already have. I do have a fair amount of English books because I've inherited books from people who used to live here, as well as receiving those homeschool orders. I use AmblesideOnline as my curriculum. The yearly schedules are all online, and they use many books that are available on Kindle, etc. The AO forum and FB group as well as 1-2 other places give me some sense of homeschool community, while I do have a couple of expat women who provide a general English-speaking community. There are numerous women in those groups who have homeschooled while living overseas, so they have been good resources specific too overseas questions I have. As far as language learning and local friends, we are involved in a local church. I also hosted an English club on our porch, but I reserved 30 minutes to play an active recess game that my children enjoyed participating on as well as the local kids. It gave my children a few games they could play when neighbors came over. We've had a tutor come once or twice a week. I just discovered Duolingo now has our language so I plan to use that. In theory, I would teach my kids songs, etc. In reality, I can't quite manage it. My oldest went to a preschool 3 mornings a week, but the others didn't have that opportunity because the one I felt comfortable with closed. I then taught a preschool two mornings a week in my home for neighbor children so that my children would hear the language and have local friends they saw regularly. I wish my kids were fluent. They aren't. It's harder than I thought it would be to facilitate language learning. My kids' favorite weekly activity is art class. I hire a local young woman to teach a simple craft or art project to several English-speaking children including mine (2 families are western women married to local guys). They love this young woman and they love playing with these English-speaking friends. I would love to do something like that with all local friends to give my children a common experience with them, but I haven't done that yet. These are some of my experiences relating to homeschooling. There are things I regret that we don't have. We have said some very sad good byes, and my children miss those people. I wish they each had a best friend. I wish we had museums and hiking trails and field trips. But the truth is, even in America not everyone has that best friend. And not everyone can do those fiend trips. Do my children get amazing experiences? Yes. They've experienced another culture like most of their American peers have not, they snorkel in amazing water, they've traveled... But it isn't all roses. This is a long post. I hope it's helpful in hearing my experiences. I don't have lots of resources to offer and I'm in the middle of homeschooling overseas, so I can't look back with a long term perspective. Each country has a different culture and educational setting. One child in my town goes to a local school 3 days a week, but does a French curriculum 2 days (she's partly French, partly an ethnic group from our host country). There may be some alternative options you could explore. I haven't found any extra-curricular clubs yet for my children to participate in, but I am going to look a bit more. You might have some. Be encouraged, though, that you can give your child a rich education, and perhaps it could look differently from any of the "normal" options. I hope you find something that fits you and your child in your location!
