Hybrid schooling is a form of education that falls under the homeschool umbrella, as parents are required to teach their child from home with the guidance of certified teachers.
With this approach, students attend school in a classroom setting for part of the week and learn from home (or a coffee shop or the local park) on the other days of the week.
Families who “hybrid school” often say it is the best of both worlds. They enjoy the benefits of giving their children a classroom experience – and all the good things that a traditional school setting offers – with the freedom, flexibility, and individualization that homeschooling provides.
