DeLuna

What we love about Seton Home Study School is the staff’s patience,
that the curriculum incorporates self-study,
and that our students are developing autonomy.

In every course, be it Science or Math, God, and morality are deemed the priority — this gives our students the indelible notion that God is real and is here.

Seton Home Study School has shaped the minds and hearts of our students, and, as traditional Catholics, we are loving it!

Homeschooling allows the kids to go at their own pace while at the same time nudging them forward.

We can take extra time in some subjects the kids like or even explore those interests
in the real world by doing field trips or interacting with people.

We chose Seton because of its strong emphasis on Catholic formation, beautiful materials,
and a more organized and structured approach.

The Dagus Family, Quezon City, Philippines | September – October 2023

making Seton the clear choice to a sound Catholic education.

To Have the Freedom and Flexibility to Travel

I wanted my daughters to receive a Catholic education but could not afford to send them to Catholic School; also, with my older parents living in another country, I wanted the freedom and flexibility to travel there in case of an emergency, without it being an educational setback for my children.– The Edwards Family | March – April 2020

To Provide a Healthy School Environment

We began homeschooling because the public school environment was not healthy for our oldest son.

To Be With My Children and Teach Them Daily

I never pictured myself as a homeschooling mother, but during the year that I spent discerning between homeschooling and public school, I felt the Lord put the desire in my heart to homeschool and be with my children during the day. In the end, I had more peace with the idea of homeschooling than public school and answered the call of what I feel ultimately fulfills my vocation as a mother – to be with my children and teach them daily.  – The Velasquez Family | November – December 2019

To Give Our Children One-on-One Attention

We homeschool because my husband is a public school teacher. He knows kids learn better with one-on-one instruction and nothing provides that more than homeschooling. We chose Seton because of the structure. I was nervous to begin the journey and there is no guesswork with Seton. They give me what we need and I know my children are receiving a quality Catholic education.  – The Nelson Family | September – October 2019

To Focus on Real Learning

We homeschool so that my SPD son can focus on real learning and not just how to manage his symptoms.

We also love that our children’s physical and mental well-being is improved from working in natural light and fresh air. In fact, our entire State has become their classroom, filled with museums, parks, and travel. – Elizabeth Meyer |March-April 2019

To Develop a Love for Learning

A lot of people ask: why do we homeschool? Is it the academics? Faith? Values? Safety? Yes, it is all of these, but most importantly, it is teaching our children “how” to learn and to develop a love for it. The children are safe and secure…which leads to confidence and an eagerness to learn. –  Jennifer Bravata | January-February 2019

To Keep God in Our School

When our youngest, Cash, attended kindergarten at a public school, he struggled with the idea of not sharing what he knew about God. One time he came home and asked, “Why can’t I talk about Advent in school, Mommy?”

What I love most about homeschooling is the opportunity to teach Cash about God along with all of the other subjects. – Veronica Wilson | November-December 2018

To Keep Jesus at the Center of Our Lives 

I was homeschooled growing up, and I want to pass this treasured experience to my children.

Growing up, we moved at our own pace, went to daily Mass, and learned to maintain a household full of small children. We learned to be flexible and adaptable all the while finding joy. We also had a pajama day! Most of all, Jesus and His Catholic Church were at the center of our lives.  – Carissa Braun | July-August, 2018

To Trust in God’s Schedule

Last week my four-year-old daughter asked me, “Mom, can you teach me how to read?” I smiled and said, “Yes.” I know I can because He will help me. Maybe she’ll learn quickly, maybe it’ll be a long arduous struggle over the years. It doesn’t matter. She’ll learn. And she’ll learn on God’s schedule, not mine. His is the best schedule to ensure our path to heaven. – Rebekah Morse | May-June, 2018
