Schoolio Pacing

With Schoolio, the pace of your homeschool learning is entirely up to you! We are often asked by new homeschoolers- how long should I expect my child to be doing schoolwork each day? The answer may surprise you!

time spent learning

Homeschooling provides personalized, one-on-one learning, which takes much less time than the school model. Don’t be concerned when your child completes their schoolwork in a fraction of the time of a typical school day.

Schoolio Book Lists

The Schoolio Language Arts program goes beyond typical online learning limitations by including a robust literature program. Due to copyright law, we are not able to provide digital replications of original works. Every effort has been made to choose books that are both academically appropriate while being easily available through major retailers and local libraries.
