Let Your Dreams Set Sail: The Homeschooling Journey in Hong Kong

Within every child lies a dream yearning to soar. For homeschoolers in Hong Kong, that dream charts a unique course—one that breaks free from classroom walls and rigid standards, and instead follows the winds of curiosity, creativity, resilience, joy, and compassion.

We walk a path less traveled. Not because we reject education, but because we redefine it. Homeschooling is not a shortcut—it’s a commitment. A daily devotion to our children’s mental well-being, their unique learning rhythms, and their evolving passions. We choose this journey because we believe that happiness and individuality are not luxuries—they are necessities.

Boaz’s drawing in Teacher Bo Sun Lam’s art lesson perfectly captures this spirit: a sailboat gliding across a painted sea, chasing the horizon with bold colors and open skies. It’s more than art—it’s a metaphor. Each homeschooler is the boat, each parent the wind in its sails, and each lesson a ripple in the water. We are not drifting—we are navigating with intention.

“Let your dreams set sail, not away from tradition, but toward transformation. Every lesson is a wave, every child a captain.” — Dr. Lai
