Catholic Hybrid Options
These programs include a set curriculum that you do at home most of the week and then come together one or two days a week for a school day. Many families like the accountability offered and social opportunities these schools offer. It is also a great way to find an already existing community to plug into. The main downside to these programs is significantly higher cost compared with "regular" homeschooling.
Catholic Online School
These programs provide a complete curriculum that you use at home. You have the option of having an outside teacher who uses online communication to teach your child. These teachers set deadlines, grade work and keep you in the loop so that you know how your child is doing in school. As with hybrid programs, the tradeoff is that you pay more, but save time and personal effort.
