Homeschool Global evolved from TMA Homeschool, which was founded in the 1990s by Edric Mendoza and others to offer structured home education programs. To accommodate growing demand and international families, the organization rebranded as Homeschool Global, expanding its operations across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North America, establishing itself as the largest homeschool provider in the country.
