The COVID-19 pandemic caused many parents to take a hard look at the education of their children in ways the’ve never thought about. Most children were forced to attend virtual school in some capacity. While virtual school isn’t for everyone, there are some benefits for parents whose children learn from home. The main benefit is flexibility.
While some children do better learning from home and others in a physical learning environment, what if you combined the two? Enter the hybrid model.
Magnolia Christian Academy, formerly based in Sanford, Fla., recently purchased the prior home to Lighthouse Christian Academy in DeLand at 126 S. Ridgewood Avenue. Magnolia Christian offers a different education model than most private schools. They meet for classes on Tuesday and Thursday and follow up at home on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
This model gives the best of both worlds, offering children the chance to be involved socially and receive in person instruction twice per week. It also gives the flexibility of working from home three times per week. This is a great option for families who want to take long weekends out of town.
Another added bonus, is the curriculum is already chosen and pacing is set, which is often a headache for homeschool parents.
At home learning isn’t for everyone, but if a hybrid program makes sense for your family, contact Magnolia Christian School for an appointment.
