We ask you, urgently: don't scroll past this

Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Parents are starting to take the time to learn about how children learn, how and why children struggle, and have an understanding that because a child struggles in a traditional school environment, he or she is not defined by struggle.

Many parents have responsibilities outside of the home that can keep them apart from their children. Many families feel that they can emphasize the importance of a parent and child relationship by cutting out the "middle man" that public school often becomes. In traditional school settings, peer relationships often eclipse family relationships, creating difficulties for both parents and children. Homeschooling can prevent much of that. 

Today, there is a new breed of home-schooler, one who enters the home education environment knowing that they will be choosing every class that their child attends, based on style, strengths, weaknesses, and interests. According to research, children learn and retain more enthusiastically when involved in choices.

Homeschooling programs are also adapting to the latest understandings in education, child development, psychology, and they're bearing results that please both parents and children. 

Parents are choosing homeschool programs because the dynamic curricula emphasize critical thinking, traditional values, and organic learning styles as opposed to the one-size-fits-all approach that forces every child to learn in accord with standardized tests in public schools. 

And today, thanks to the internet, parents have more resources than ever -- and fewer excuses. The future of homeschooling and the children who complete the programs, shines more brightly than ever before.
