Homeschooling

[jpuckett163]

My two children ages 9 and 12 have been attending Catholic school for the last few years, however due to some serious bullying issues my wife and I have made the decision to take them out and enroll them in our local public school. We are confident that they will receive a good education as the public schools is highly regarded in terms of academic. After some reflection we have come to the realization that other than daily religion class and the opportunity to pray in school Catholic values were really lacking at their school.

My question is this we will be enrolling them in CCD, but I was looking for a resource to use to “homeschool” them in the faith as well. We read Scripture, the lives of Saints, and the Catechism and YOUCAT ( a youth annotated version of the Catechism) already but I was wondering if anyone could suggest a homeschool curriculum that we could use?

What texts/approach to use really depends on the student and the teacher. Therefore, I’d suggest looking at what some of the Catholic Homeschooling curriculum companies have to offer in their book stores under “Religion” and the appropriate grade levels.

Start with: Kolbe, Catholic Heritage Curricula, Seton Home Study School, and Our Lady of Victory. (There are probably more, but these are the four names that come up most often in our Homeschooling group.)

HTH!

Another good one to look at is Mother of Divine Grace (MODG)

I actualy homeschool my daughter for an hour after school(actual corriculum) I treat public school only as a socialization “experience”. I am a single mother living with my parents, and they are completely against me fully homeschooling her,so oh well.
