to organize their study time to meet the requirements of their various
courses truly have an advantage from the beginning of their college
education.”
Another graduate told us that his studies as a homeschool student
“gave me a conscientiousness and seriousness about study which
gained the respect of the professors.”
FOLLOW YOUR INTERESTS
Another benefit of homeschooling in high school is that it gives
you more time to pursue your particular interests. Because your
schedule is not set in some central bureaucratic office, you can
make your own schedule and spend more time on your interests.
Over the years, Seton has been the choice for promising young
gymnasts, skaters, dancers, and musicians. One student spent
his free time in extra math and science study, and has been
recognized at regional and national science meetings for his
inventions.
Whether your interest is a high-profile sport, or simply a love of
learning, you can find and develop your own abilities because of
the efficiency of homeschooling. This will come in handy when
you start college because you will have a better understanding of
yourself.
Many benefits will accrue to you simply from homeschooling,
but specifically homeschooling with Seton Home Study School
adds extra benefits. The most important added benefit is Seton’s
curriculum, which is thoroughly Catholic.
Too many young Catholics go away to college and find that their
faith is challenged on every front. That’s not necessarily a bad
thing.
Challenges can be good, but only when you are properly prepared.
A Seton student, who has spent years studying Catholic theology,
philosophy, and history, has tools to defend the Faith.
RIGOROUS AND RELEVANT
Beyond the Catholicism, Seton’s curriculum is rigorous and
college preparatory. We often hear from graduates who say that
Seton was the best preparation they could have had for success
in college.
When I was a child, I spoke
as a child, I understood as
a child, I thought as a child.
But, when I became a man,
I put away the things of a
child. (I Cor 13:11)
