To the Rescue --- Private Schools For Your Children For Less Than $850 a Year Tuition
K-12th grade Internet schools are low-cost, quality private schools that make life easier for parents. Home-schooling normally requires parents to personally teach their children at home, using a wide variety of educational teaching materials, including books, the Internet, and computer learning software.
However, for those parents who have little time to spare, or don’t yet feel confident in home-schooling their children, Internet private schools are a wonderful new alternative. These schools take most of the home-schooling burden off parents’ backs, yet can give children a low-cost, quality education at home.
An Internet private school for children is similar to the Internet college-degree programs that many universities around the country now offer adults. There are many good Internet schools parents can choose from. Some schools only offer high-school programs while others offer a complete, 1st through 12th grade education.
Many Internet private schools give a course of study similar to traditional private schools. They take children thorough a progressive curriculum in math, science, reading and writing, social studies, and many other subjects.
This structured, comprehensive program is like having a personal teacher and private school in a parent’s own living room. As a result, these schools can relieve parents of most of the home-schooling burden, while giving children a high-quality education.
This setup is especially helpful for single-working moms, or families where both
mother and father work. Since Internet-school teachers supervise the child’s education, it’s less likely that parents will have to take time from work or quit their job to homeschool their kids.
Many Internet private schools charge much lower tuition rates than brick-and-mortar, secular private schools, and sometimes thousands of dollars a year less than Catholic or Protestant-affiliated schools. Tuition costs vary with each school, from as low as $350 a year to $2000 or more a year. Many quality Internet private schools charge less than $850 a year.
Internet schools are a great resource for parents with a limited budget who also want to escape the public schools and give their kids a great education.
Our book, "Public Schools, Public Menace" has a whole Resource section devoted to Internet private schools and other education options for parents.
