I feel so blessed that the algorithm recommended this video today! It’s finally recommending Catholic homeschoolers to me-yay! I’m a professor at a Canadian university. My older daughter is in grade 8 in our homeschool, and I have her doing BJU English 8, BJU science, BJU Spanish 1, and BJU Math-all of these are from the distance online. She also does two lessons per week in Saxon math (she needs some spiral to help her remember concepts 😅👍🏾). I have her doing Mass readings and reflection, Seton’s Witness to the Faith, Seton’s Spelling, and also IEW (but at a slower pace -we are year-round-homeschoolers, so it works out). There are a lot of people that are adamant that Catholic homeschoolers shouldn’t use BJU, but I find that their Distance Online is excellent. Also, I feel that as long as I don’t rely on BJU to teach Bible and use Catholic sources instead, the kids will be very Catholic. My eldest daughter also does confirmation classes at our Catholic parish too. My youngest daughter does BJU for English, Reading, and Math, but also does Seton reading, religion, phonics, spelling, and vocabulary, and mass readings with our family. I’m a convert to the Catholic faith-I was raised Pentecostal, then became Anglican in my 30s, then started wondering what was different between Anglicans and Catholics so decided to read Catholic primary and secondary sources about Catholicism….and finally converted to the Catholic faith😍👍🏾. It’s wonderful to see all you’re offering to your kids through homeschooling🎉
I agree, I’m not concerned about BJU because my child is very rooted in her catholic faith, she knows when to recognize something that may be in contradiction and we talk about it. I let her know that it is a Protestant curriculum and things have been fine so far. So far with science and Spanish I have not had any issues.
