The emergence of the online activity concept took a large space in the last few years, from remote work to virtual learning. Islamic education is not an exception.

We have no doubts about the benefits of online schooling for Muslims. But at the same time, concerns about its effectiveness are valid. 

Can a laptop be a viable alternative to live school classes? The goal is to deliver the best learning experience, therefore this article written by Sahlah’s experts discusses the benefits of homeschooling compared to traditional school environments.

From a young age, most of us follow a conventional educational pathway—going to school, attending classes, and returning home. However, the revolution of new technologies is changing this pathway. 

With Islamic homeschooling, education happens right at home, with no need for physical relocation.

When considering online education, there are two main concerns that come into play: reliability and benefits.

But first, what does a typical day look like in an Islamic online school? While varies by program, the core structure of this system is generally the same:

1. Students get ready, preparing the environment for study,
2. They get several classes, based on the curriculum, 
3. Interactive methods and practice sessions are integrated into the lessons,
4. A snack break is included before classes resume,
5. After-school study time follows.

‍

A typical online school day starts at 9 am and ends around 2 - 4 pm. The key benefits here are the moments you spend with your kids, involvement in the learning process, and family time.

You have the flexibility to organize the day and learning system of your children, after school time. That ensures you set the best system that works for your child and your family. 

As you just read, you can see that the school day in both online and traditional schools doesn’t have many differences. However, online schools offer more flexibility and family time.

We know that online education has limitations, However, we improve our teaching methods and systems to overcome the challenges of online learning.

Take a quick overview of Online vs Traditional Islamic Education:

Online Schools

• Learn anywhere
• Learn from the best schools
• Interactive learning with the ability to choose teachers
• Careful research is required to find qualified school
• Online communication can be challenging for some
• Parents are involved

‍

Traditional Schools

• Location is essential
• Limited to nearby schools
• One curriculum for all, and teachers also
• No need to search deeply about the school
• Social interaction in schools is more effective
• Parent involvement is limited

‍

If both guarantee the same learning effectiveness, then Self-Paced Learning Online at homeschooling will be the superior choice in our case.

In Islamic online education, there is no peer pressure to be good at the same things your peers do. Whether your children have physical or intellectual limitations or are not good at a certain subject, it doesn’t matter.
