Why Catholic Families in Houston Choose Homeschooling
Catholic homeschooling continues to grow in popularity across Texas. Families are drawn to its flexibility, faith integration, and the ability to nurture both academics and virtue within the home.
Texas homeschool laws are simple and family-friendly:
- No registration or approval required
- Education must be genuine (“bona fide”)
- Materials can be printed or digital
- Core subjects include reading, spelling, grammar, math, and good citizenship
- No standardized testing required
This flexibility allows Catholic families to create a rhythm of life centered on faith, family, and learning.
