Homeschooling is often thought of as a full-time alternative to traditional public and private schooling, but many programs also offer a part-time option for families to consider. It is affordable, requires less documentation than a full-time application and can be used by elementary through high school students prior to graduation. Here are a few reasons why some parents consider this the ideal solution to their child’s current situation.

In elementary school, much of the information that is taught or contained in textbooks is straightforward with each grade providing opportunities for the student to transition from a ‘concrete’ approach to analytical or being able to understand concepts and think on their own. When students reach high school the concept of “critical thinking skills” becomes essential for continued development.
