Less Screen-School ... More Homeschool
“Homeschool” doesn’t just mean school in a setting other than a public or private campus. Choosing to homeschool means that you’ve chosen to exercise your God-given right and responsibility to be the primary educator of your child, in a setting that cultivates relationship building and virtue-based routines. Study upon study continues to demonstrate how detrimental excessive screen time can be to a child’s socioemotional health, and all Christian parents know that the Internet is no place for virtues.
At Our Lady of Victory School, we know that pouring over a good book has a funny, wonderful, holy way of both bringing families together and fostering independence in young learners. This is due in part to the communal nature of coming together, in person, shoulder to shoulder, to use the oldest of learning tools: a book, a pencil, a piece of paper.
It’s not that computers are the “enemy.” When used in moderation and under direct supervision, technology can be a useful learning tool. And students who are preparing for a career in today’s ever-more-techy job market need to have basic computer literacy skills in order to be hireable.
But since OLVS’ beginning in 1973, we’ve known that education is so much more than just retaining information. Education should foster the growth of the intellect, the development of devotion, and the ability to think for oneself. For this reason, OLVS’ curriculum is comprised entirely of tangible matter: novels, booklets, workbooks, manuals, coloring books, songbooks, CDs, novels, textbooks, study guides, and more. These resources allow your child to develop life-long learning skills of their own, while inviting you to be part of a world that can’t be hidden from you by the Internet.
This is why OLVS believes in “less screen-school, more home-school.” Let the screen be merely an assistive, fully-controlled, parental teaching tool. Don’t let the screen replace your child’s greatest educational asset: you.
