Hybrid Homeschool
Yes you can do Hybrid schooling.
Your child can go certian days to a school, or a charter school and then homeschool.
But if you are part of a co-op of protestant Christian homeschooling parents from your church or community then they can either go there 4 days and one day with you. Or do 2 days at a school and 3 days at home with you. You choose.
This still makes you homeschoolers, even though the school has the curriculum already chosen for us. We identify ourselves as a homeschool in our county as well.
This might help single parents to make it work and still have control over your childs education and Christusn upbringing.
In fact if your church has a school on campus you might be able to send your child there 2 days instead of a public school. Theyll be much better off for it AND be around w friend ages of the kids they regularly fellowship with at Church anyway. Win win.
How can a hybrid set up work legally so you still homeschool?
If the school falls under a co-op or tutoring service. Parents are still the supervisors and are responsible for filling all homeschooling paperwork in their state of residence.
How can we do this plan?
ONE - Single Parent no involvement at school
Is there a hybrid school situations where the parent doesnt need to be involved? Such as single parent? Who wants less stress and can maybe send their kid to a school 2 days (hybrid charter or church school), homeschool 1 day, and send them to co-op homeschopl group for 2 days?
* answer yes but you will need to look into it a little bit.
One note is connected to the below answer:
There are single parents that have hired nannies to do their kids homework with them. There’s a single dad in a class who works from home and has a full time nanny to do school with his kids. You could have family help out if you have no money for nanny and they commit to the school year. *Perhaps have them sign some document you make about that at the school so they dont flake on you. It seems more legit or serious.
TWO - Married and involved at the school
My hybrid school is k-12 and accredited so we just do an application like an average private school. We just require families to be a part of a church body and active in a church. There’s an interview process for families as well to make sure our school is a good fit for them because it’s a college prep school, too. We are very upfront about our school not being the best choice for families who have both parents working full time because the amount of time we will need to spend on home days, volunteering for school events, field trips with our classes, etc. because it’s very heavy on the “parent led” and we aren’t able to have any fun things like class parties without parents volunteering their time and money.
Hybrids are a pretty new concept so I’d check your area for hybrid schools! There’s 2 near me that I know of.
