It’s common for online learning to intimidate homeschool parents who are used to using textbooks. However, many families that make the switch to online curriculum discover that the benefits of learning online far outweigh the fears they once felt. Check out the list below to discover four of the top reasons to choose an online homeschool curriculum like Calvert.

As history happens and technology advances from day to day, there’s no need to wait around for software updates or a new edition of your textbook. Online curriculum can be updated anytime, providing your child with constant access to the most up-to-date information.
Recordkeeping is easy, and feedback is instant. Online learning programs minimize clutter by storing student data digitally.
