Supporting Your Homeschool with Flexible, 

Trusted Online Learning from BYU Continuing Education

Homeschooling offers families a unique opportunity to shape a student’s education around their values, goals, and lifestyle. But as students grow—especially into the high school years—curriculum needs can become more complex. Parents often find themselves asking, How do I ensure my student is prepared for college? How do I balance flexibility with academic rigor?

BYU Continuing Education provides two strong solutions designed specifically to support homeschool families: BYU Independent Study for individual courses and BYU Online High School for a full diploma experience. Together, these options allow families to customize learning while maintaining high academic standards.

Flexible Coursework with BYU Independent Study

BYU Independent Study is ideal for families who want to supplement their homeschool curriculum with accredited material. With 470+ options for grades 7–12 and university-level courses, students can choose exactly what they need, from core subjects to electives and advanced coursework.

A key advantage is flexibility. With open enrollment, students can start anytime and move at their own pace, making it a strong fit for busy schedules, extracurriculars, and individual learning needs.

Take Emma, a homeschool student from Virginia, who is preparing for a competitive university. Her parents wanted rigorous options, like AP courses, but didn’t have the resources to teach them at home. Through BYU Independent Study, Emma accessed challenging coursework while maintaining her homeschool routine.

She moved quickly through familiar material, slowed down when needed, and relied on instructor support and free tutoring along the way. By the time she applied to college, she had strengthened her transcript and built confidence for structured academic work.

For families like Emma’s, Independent Study offers a flexible way to customize education without sacrificing quality. To learn more, visit is.byu.edu.

A Complete Diploma Path with BYU Online High School

For families seeking a more comprehensive solution, BYU Online High School (OHS) offers a fully accredited diploma program for students in grades 7–12. OHS combines the flexibility that homeschool families value with the structure, instruction, and community of a traditional school—delivered entirely online.

Students can choose between a mix of live and self-paced courses, depending on their learning style and schedule. This hybrid approach allows families to maintain control over their lifestyle while ensuring students stay on track for graduation.

Take the example of the Carter family. With a love for travel and cultural exploration, they wanted their son, Ethan, to experience the world without sacrificing his education. Through BYU Online High School, Ethan enrolled in courses with live instructors, participating in scheduled classes and discussions while still having the flexibility to complete assignments from anywhere.

Whether the family was visiting historical sites along the East Coast or exploring national parks across the U.S., Ethan remained connected to his coursework and teachers. His education became richer—not interrupted—by these experiences. He was able to engage in meaningful discussions in class, often bringing firsthand insights from his travels.

BYU Online High School made it possible for Ethan to receive a structured, high-quality education while living a lifestyle that extended far beyond the traditional classroom. To learn more, visit highschool.byu.edu.

Whether you’re looking to fill gaps, challenge your student with advanced coursework, or provide a complete high school experience, BYU Continuing Education offers solutions that align with your goals.
