Online classes are becoming an increasingly popular option for homeschool students, as the number of virtual learning programs grows and more families recognize the many benefits of virtual learning over traditional homeschooling. Parents and students alike are discovering that taking online classes can be an ideal addition to their homeschooling plan.

For starters, online courses provide students with a wealth of subject matter to choose from. From math to foreign language to music, there are a variety of courses available—some for free, some for a fee—that let parents tailor the educational experience to each student. This flexibility can be especially helpful for homeschoolers who have multiple children at different grade levels, as the classes can be tailored to meet each child's individual needs.

Online classes are often more convenient than traditional homeschooling because they usually do not require parental supervision. Since class material is often delivered to students online, they can work when and where and as they wish. This leaves parents more time to focus on other things, such as helping out with homework, spending quality time with their children, or simply taking a break now and then.
