Catholic Home Schooling Curriculum is More Biased Toward
Religion
Catholic’s firmly believe that the Lord Jesus Christ must be
the most determining factor in every area of everybody’s life, including
education. This simple but blind faith in Jesus Christ has affected every
aspect of their academic study, including curriculum.
This will continue in the Catholic home schooling curriculum
from the beginning till the end of school life. They vow to build spiritual,
moral, ethical and academic foundation in students with a strong inclination
towards Bible. They believe that children are precious gifts of God and parents
that too under God have got the ultimate authority on the education of their
child.
Catholic home schooling curriculum believes that every child
has capabilities which are different from any other child. According to his or
her capabilities, he or she must choose their course of study. A brief inside
look into the Catholic home schooling curriculum reveals the presence of God in
every chapter of every level.
The subjects of Life Science, Physical Science and Earth
Science have been described as “Discovering God’s Creation Science”. In these
subjects, many things are discovered in the nature and thus all these have been
described as the God’s Creation.
Impact of Bible and Christianity on the Curriculum
There are also two subjects on Bible and Christian living.
In the Bible subject, there are two aspects. The first part deals with
everything about God and the second part describes Bible book by book; every
aspect of the Bible is covered here in full detail. The Christian living
section in the Catholic home schooling curriculum deals with Christian
character and the power of prayer.
It will teach the character of a true Christian and the good
effects of praying every Friday of your life. So, in a Catholic home schooling
curriculum, a child will learn, in addition to Math, Physics, Life Science and
Chemistry, the importance of Christ in every sphere of life. Even in the music
classes, he will have to learn the history of Christian music.
Role of Parents in the Curriculum
Catholic home schooling curriculum also believes that the
parents must take a very active role in the education of their child. According
to their logic, the Lord says it is the parents who are solely responsible for
the child and it is the parents who have taught the child to speak. The
Catholic home schooling curriculum is parent led, so that they can have a
direct control on the education of their children. The parents themselves also
grade some assignments, so that they have a direct responsibility for the
progress of their child.
