Homeschooling high school students brings both freedom and complexity. As parents seek academic challenge, social connection, and faith formation, many turn to a-la-carte homeschool classes at Catholic schools for support. At Royalmont Academy in Mason, Ohio, our a-la-carte homeschool program offers flexible, part-time enrollment that meets the unique needs of high school homeschoolers—without compromising your family’s values or rhythm.

Whether you’re looking for lab-based science, advanced math, literature, Latin, or Catholic theology, your student can join a class or two while staying true to your homeschool goals.

Academic Excellence Without the Stress

One of the biggest concerns for parents homeschooling through high school is preparing transcripts that will hold up in the college application process. Colleges look for honors-level coursework, clear grading standards, and academic consistency. Royalmont’s program offers exactly that.

Homeschool students who enroll in individual courses benefit from:

• Honors-level instruction from experienced teachers

• Graded syllabi and clear expectations

• Access to the Canvas learning platform for managing assignments

• Documentation for transcripts and academic portfolios

Rather than patching together different online programs or community classes, families can count on Royalmont to provide high-quality instruction that is organized, challenging, and college-ready.

Real Classrooms, Real Labs, Real Teachers

Many homeschool parents are comfortable teaching core subjects—but struggle when it comes to chemistry labs, upper-level math, theology, or Latin. Finding the right resources (and keeping up with grading) can become overwhelming.

At Royalmont, students don’t have to navigate those subjects alone. Our high school classes are led by passionate, subject-certified educators who teach in small classroom settings that support both academic growth and individual attention. Students participate in hands-on lab work, literary analysis discussions, and interactive theology lessons that go far beyond worksheets or screen time.

Catholic Worldview in Every Class

Unlike dual-enrollment options or secular programs, every course at Royalmont is grounded in the Catholic faith. This means students not only explore what is true, but why it matters—integrating truth, beauty, and goodness across every discipline.

Classes are designed to promote both intellectual excellence and spiritual growth. Whether it’s biology, literature, or philosophy, students learn to see the world through a Catholic lens. Families who value a strong moral foundation will find confidence in the way Royalmont approaches every subject.

More Than Just a Class: A Welcoming Community

High school students need more than academic content—they need friendship, mentorship, and a place to belong. One of the great advantages of Royalmont’s a-la-carte program is that part-time students are welcomed into our school community from the very beginning.

Students can join classroom discussions, attend optional Mass or adoration, participate in clubs and apostolic activities, and be part of on-campus events and retreats. Even when taking just one or two classes, they’ll find opportunities to connect and grow alongside like-minded peers.

Flexible Schedules That Work for Homeschool Families

Our a-la-carte program is designed with homeschool flexibility in mind. Students can enroll in one, two, or three classes per semester, depending on what’s needed. Some courses meet daily, while others are scheduled only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, making it easier to coordinate with co-ops, extracurriculars, and family routines.

Families maintain full control of their homeschool records and are able to integrate Royalmont courses into their broader learning goals. For many, it’s the perfect balance between independence and structure.

Common Questions from Homeschool Parents

Can we still be part of a homeschool co-op and take classes at Royalmont?
Yes. Many families do both, using Royalmont to supplement subjects they want additional support with.

Will my child feel out of place as a part-time student?
Not at all. Our teachers and students are used to welcoming a-la-carte students, and they are encouraged to join in classroom and school life as much as they’d like.

Is this program only for Catholic families?
We are joyfully and unapologetically Catholic, but we welcome students from all Christian backgrounds who value academic excellence and a faith-centered environment.

How are grades and credits handled?
Royalmont provides grades, syllabi, and academic records to help families easily incorporate them into homeschool transcripts.
