Let your child study at home — done properly
Two ways to do it, and you can start today. Teach your child yourself with the Al Noor Homeschool app — a competency-based programme from Playgroup to Class 5 that plans every day for you, with a verified tutor for any subject you would rather not teach — or choose a lead teacher to run the whole programme at home or online.
Free for 7 days, no card · 8 levels · English & Urdu · verified teachers matched in 24–48 hours
Quick answer
Home schooling in Pakistan means organising your child’s education at home. Choose a curriculum and, for older students, confirm the board or accepting centre’s exam requirements before planning tuition. Al Noor Tuition offers two routes. Parent-led: the Al Noor Homeschool app plans every day for you — six short activities, about an hour, from Playgroup to Class 5, in English or Urdu — and builds a competency-based record of what your child can actually do. It is free for seven days, then PKR 1,500 a month — or an introductory PKR 1,000 for the first 100 families — and you can request a verified tutor for any single subject from inside the app at ordinary tuition rates. Teacher-led: a lead teacher runs a structured five-day programme, generally PKR 5,000–25,000 per child online or PKR 20,000–60,000 for home teaching. Final fees depend on the pathway, schedule, teacher, location and specialist requirements.
Two ways to homeschool with us
Most families start with one and add the other later. You are not choosing forever.
You teach. We plan every day.
Free for 7 days, then PKR 1,000 a month for the first 100 families — PKR 1,500 after
Open the app each morning and the day is already built: six short activities, each with what to do, what you might say, and what to watch for. You need no training and no lesson planning — the sequence, the revisiting and the record all happen underneath.
- About an hour a day, in six short pieces
- Playgroup to Class 5, three terms a year
- English or Urdu, switched with one tap
- Add a verified tutor for any subject you would rather not teach
- A record of what your child can do, built as you go
A lead teacher runs the school day.
Online PKR 5,000–25,000 per child · Home PKR 20,000–60,000 monthly
A verified lead teacher follows a structured five-day timetable, records attendance and progress, and coordinates an additional Quran or specialist teacher where the pathway requires one.
- About 2–3 hours daily, five days a week
- Five curriculum pathways with 20 weekly learning blocks
- One lead teacher for most primary subjects
- Actual fee depends on teacher, level, schedule, city and specialists
A whole primary education, planned day by day
Built for a parent with no teaching background and no time to plan. You open it in the morning and the day is there.
Competency-based, not chapter-based
The programme tracks 95 competencies — "keeping a beat", "reading with meaning", "number sense" — rather than pages covered. A photo or a voice note from an ordinary morning is what moves one, so the record is evidence of what your child can do, not a tick against a book.
A day that is already planned
Six activities each morning: two genuinely new, four met again from the fortnight before. That spacing is the whole method — a child meets an idea, then meets it again days later, which is how it sticks. You never plan a lesson.
Eight levels, Playgroup to Class 5
733 authored activities across 24 terms, each written to be used by a parent standing in a kitchen: what to do, the words you might say, what to watch for, and what counts as evidence.
Beyond the core subjects
One or two optional extras a day, never required: money sense, music and rhythm, body and sport, and how computers and thinking machines actually work — taught unplugged, because the concepts outlast the tools.
A record that builds itself
A mastery map, a portfolio of your child’s own work, and reports you can show anyone who asks what your child has been doing all year. Nothing to compile at the end of term.
In English or Urdu
The whole interface and much of the programme switch language with one tap, right to left included — because a parent who thinks in Urdu should not have to translate a prompt in their head before saying it to their child.

Building a homeschooling community in Pakistan
Homeschooling is growing fast in Pakistan, but families often feel they’re figuring it out alone. We’re changing that — connecting homeschooling parents and students across the country to share resources, join group activities and workshops, compare boards and timetables, and support one another. When you homeschool with Al Noor Tuition, you join a community that’s building the future of home education in Pakistan.
The course, level by level
Eight levels from Playgroup to Class 5. Each runs three terms, and each term introduces new work a couple of activities at a time while bringing the fortnight before it back round — so nothing is met once and forgotten.

Home schooling in Pakistan: decide the route before the timetable
Home schooling and homeschooling describe education organised at home. A tutor can help teach a subject, but a family still needs a curriculum, a workable routine and a way to record progress. If the child will sit external exams, establish the exam route before buying books or choosing subject combinations.
A preschool or primary plan can focus on reading, number sense, play and observable skills. A secondary plan also needs the board’s subject requirements, practical assessment arrangements and a centre that can accept the candidate. Al Noor’s parent-led app currently covers Playgroup to Class 5; older students need a separate subject and exam plan.
Before choosing a curriculum
- Record what your child can currently read, write and solve independently.
- Decide who will teach each subject and how much time they can reliably give.
- Include conversation, movement, creative work and time with other children.
- Keep dated samples of work so progress can be compared across a term.
Before choosing an exam route
- Confirm eligibility with the board or an accepting exam centre.
- Check the syllabus code, examination year and subject combination.
- Ask how practical, coursework or other assessed components are handled.
- Budget for exam registration separately from teaching and materials.
An example of a manageable primary-school day
Start with reading together and a short conversation about the text. Follow with a number activity using objects, then a writing or drawing task, a movement break and a science or creative activity. Revisit one earlier skill at the end. Short blocks can be more practical than copying a full school timetable; adapt them to the child’s age, attention and needs.
If a subject needs specialist help, request a homeschool subject tutor alongside the family’s teaching. For older students, a physics and maths study plan can address gaps in both subjects. For Quran learning, choose the appropriate Qaida, reading or Tajweed path. Review the routine weekly and change tasks that are too easy, too difficult or too long.
Read the homeschooling guidelines, compare benefits and trade-offs, and check the programme and safeguarding policy before choosing support.

Homeschooling in Pakistan — FAQs
Can a homeschooled student sit external exams?
Cambridge provides a private-candidate route through centres that accept private entries, subject to the qualification and assessment requirements. For Pakistani boards, confirm eligibility directly with the relevant board. Exam registration and local education requirements are separate matters: check both before changing a child’s schooling arrangement.
What does Al Noor Tuition’s homeschooling service include?
A complete package for studying at home: verified home teachers (online or in-person), a structured syllabus mapped to your chosen board, ready-made resources (notes, worksheets, past papers, videos, quizzes), a weekly timetable, parent-facing progress tracking, and access to a growing homeschooling community across Pakistan.
Which curriculum or board can we follow?
You can follow the Punjab/Federal board, Cambridge O Level and A Level, or a blended track. We build the syllabus and timetable around the board you choose and your child’s current level, from preschool through to A Level.
Can homeschooling be done fully online, or do teachers come home?
Both. You can have a teacher visit your home in cities we serve (Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and more), study fully online from anywhere in Pakistan or abroad, or combine the two.
How much does homeschooling cost in Pakistan?
It depends on your child’s level, the number of subjects, how many weekly sessions you want, and whether teaching is at home or online. We’ll give you a clear, itemised plan with no hidden fees — share your requirement and an advisor will quote within 24–48 hours.
How do you track my child’s progress?
Every homeschooling family gets access to our learning portal, where assignments, graded quizzes, attendance, and a gradebook show progress week by week. Teachers share regular updates so you always know strengths, gaps, and next steps.
Do you offer homeschooling packages and courses?
Yes. The Al Noor Homeschool programme runs from Playgroup to Class 5 — eight levels, three terms each, 733 authored activities across 24 terms. You can start it today in the app. For older children, or for a specific board and exam plan, we build a tailored package around a verified teacher; register your interest and an advisor replies within 24–48 hours.
What is the difference between parent-led and teacher-led homeschooling?
Parent-led means you teach and the app plans every day for you; if there is a subject you would rather not teach, you request a verified tutor for that subject from inside the app, at ordinary tuition rates. Teacher-led means a verified lead teacher runs a structured five-day programme online or at home, records attendance and progress, and brings in a Quran or specialist teacher where the pathway needs one.
Can I get a tutor for just one subject?
Yes, and that is how most families use it. You start parent-led, and when you reach a subject you would rather not teach — Maths and Science are the usual two — you request a tutor for that subject from inside the app. You keep teaching the rest, and the plan, portfolio and progress record stay in one place. The tutor is charged at ordinary subject-tuition rates, and you can ask for one at any time rather than deciding at sign-up.
What are the optional extras in the daily plan?
Alongside the six core activities, each day offers two optional extras drawn from four strands: money sense, music and rhythm, body and sport, and computers and thinking machines. They are dealt out in rotation so a child meets a different strand each day rather than four movement tasks in a row — in practice each strand comes round every second day, and the full set of 32 is covered in sixteen days of work. They are counted in days you actually work, not calendar days, so a family that takes a fortnight off resumes where they left off. Extras never replace one of the six and are not counted in the day’s progress, because an activity that made the progress ring read six out of eight would not be optional in any sense a parent would recognise.
What does “competency-based” actually mean here?
The programme tracks 95 competencies — things a child can do, such as keeping a beat, reading with meaning, or number sense — rather than chapters covered. Evidence is what moves them: a photo, a voice note, or a line of what you observed during an ordinary activity. So at the end of a term you have a record of what your child can actually do, not a list of pages turned.
Do I need any teaching experience to use the app?
No, and it is written on that assumption. Each activity names the objects to gather, the steps in order, the words you might say, what to watch for, and what counts as evidence. There is no lesson to plan and nothing to prepare the night before.
How much does the Al Noor Homeschool app cost?
The parent-led app is free for seven days, then PKR 1,500 a month or PKR 15,000 a year — the first 100 families pay PKR 1,000 a month or PKR 10,000 a year. Any tutor you add for an individual subject is charged at ordinary subject-tuition rates, and specialists are quoted separately. Teacher-led online programmes are generally PKR 5,000–25,000 per child monthly; home-visiting programmes are generally PKR 20,000–60,000 monthly for 2–3 hours daily, five days a week. Final fees depend on the child, pathway, schedule, teacher, location and specialists.
Is the programme available in Urdu?
Yes. The interface and much of the programme switch between English and Urdu with one tap, right-to-left included. A parent who thinks in Urdu should not have to translate a prompt in their head before saying it aloud to their child.
What ages does the app cover?
Playgroup (ages 3–4) through to Class 5 (ages 10–11) — eight levels in all. Beyond Class 5 we support families with verified teachers, board syllabuses and exam preparation rather than through the app.
