What if unforeseen circumstances cause my children to fall behind?

The counselors are here to help, and as one homeschooling dad likes to remind parents: “The goal of homeschooling isn’t to finish in a certain time frame. The goal is to give your child a good Catholic education that will prepare him or her to live as a Christian in the world. You are only behind if you are not making progress toward accomplishing that goal.”

 

Can my student take a class that might not be in his/her Grade level?

Yes, there are many students who might be in a particular Grade level for most subjects, but might need a more or less challenging course in Reading or Math, for example.
