Click here for the Catholic Online School Daily Readings with Questions for Reflection page. 

Daily Readings provide a dose of hope and remind us each day that God is in control and we are saved from evil. These are recommended for all Catholics, especially those who need a sense of peace during times of anxiety. 

The Daily Readings at Catholic Online School also come with questions for reflection. Each question features a short discussion of the reading written by Deacon Keith Fournier and provides you with important ideas to think about as you grow in faith. 

Religious Education for all Ages - Catholic Online School offers a wide range of religious education courses. For kids who are staying home from school, now is a great time to get them into catechism courses for their grade level. Catholic Online School has catechism courses for each grade level 1-8. These courses offer an introduction to the important aspects of our faith. These courses are in development and new ones will be added regularly. 

For older students, the course on Confirmation with Certificate of Completion offers an in-depth study of the Catholic faith. The course is also appropriate for adults. The course is a wonderful supplement for those who are making their Confirmation or are new to the faith. For students who are working on their Confirmation but must cope with cancelled classes, this course is essential. 

For adults, courses like The Moral Life in Christ explains what it means to live in Christ, and will help orient your life towards its proper purpose. 

Easter/Lent - We have a wide variety of courses to teach everything you've ever wanted to know about these important seasons of the liturgical year. Courses include Stations of the Cross, Confession, Lent, and even a surprising course about the Catholic origins of the Easter Bunny. A new course on the Crucifixion will be published soon. 

Enrichment and Entertainment - Catholic Online School offers some fun educational courses on the Apparitions of Mary, (Our Lady of Fatima, the Fatima Secrets, Our Lady of Guadalupe), the Knights Templar, and Explore the Bible. These courses will help to pass the time while learning about Church and Bible history. There are also many courses on saints and prayers. 

Catholic Online School is a FREE resource. Everything you need is in the school. There is no tuition, no books or materials to buy, ever. 

Enrollment is fast and convenient; all you need is an email address. Once enrolled, browse or search for the courses that interest you. Enroll in those you like and start learning! Each course features a comprehensive study guide, a video with script, an assessment with answer key, and supplemental resources.
