This is a Catholic Home School course. I am trying to find out as much about them as can. I have went over almost every line on every page on thier site and all of the links.

I am trying to find someone that has perhaps had experience with them or know people that have used them.

No experience and I don't know anyone either...but I did browse some of the reviews, here. Seemed like legit 3rd party opinions and info that you might find helpful.

Oh yes, they are an acredited Catholic home school, I checked them out from the Church. I found after looking many people who took the course work. There are actually several in our local Catholic Parish that use it.

No private Catholic school in the area, many of our local Catholic parish members talke thier kids to the Lutheran School about 20 miles north of us. ( Lutherans and Catholic have very simular teachings)

I also posted on several other forums I belong to. Religious and Catholic forums. I have gotten many replies and all good, the only negitive comment so far is that they are very scheduled. many home school people like a more flexable school program ( from what I am told)

Thanks

Actually Fr Chuck, the name sounds familiar to me. I think the nuns at my boarding school may have used it or at least endorsed it. If that's the case, it's probably fairly widespread, as I'm in Canada and so are "my" nuns. So I don't know, hopefully that might be a little helpful to you, to know that it's used all over, and in a Catholic boarding as well.

Yes it is used if many places I am finding out. As is other programs though other groups and schools ( don't want to do others a dis-servcie)

I guess what happens, they manage the training ( schooling and even give daily assignments) Each state has its own requirements for anyone not going to a public school, but basicly anyone inrolled is basicly consideered a satilite group of the main school body.

Don't know how the nuns can hit you with their ruler over the internet but I know they have figured a way out. Even as a priest I get alittle scared when I meet the older nuns in thier habit. Really the nicest people you ever want to know but as a somewhat energic young boy they can sure bring the fear of God to you.

Haha, yeah they can be scary, but I really like my nuns actually. I guess it's because they were there for me when I was a teenager and gave me a good education and a nice stable home invironment. I had a LOT of fun times at that school. I shudder to think how I would have turned out without their influence...

I used Seton for my daughter when she was unable to start school because of on injury. She returned to school full time in December. I am now considering taking both of my daughters out of school and keeping my youngest daughter home next school year and using Seton again. I really liked the way our faith was included in all lessons and every subject. Because I am a certified teacher, I have the ability to build on the lessons when necessary. My children currently attend a Catholic school which unfortunately uses only secular textbooks.

Anyone looking to homeschool their kids please please don't limit yourself to only doing things at home. You end up with children like the above poster who is miserable.

We have coops and sports and other things we can do with our kids, just takes time. I make sure my son gets out and socializes all the time so that he doesn't get lonely.

Our purpose in homeschooling is to learn not to limit....
