Frequently Asked Questions
Parents’ FAQ:
Q: Is THEO easier than other homeschool programs?
A: Not easier, just different. Instead of 170+ daily lessons, THEO uses 36 weekly modules. You still cover similar content, but with flexibility to fit your family’s rhythm.
Q: What if my child finishes early or thinks it’s too easy?
A: That’s a win! You can use the extra time for enrichment, projects, or life skills. We also provide extension activities if your child is ready for more challenge.
Q: Do I need to be a teacher to use THEO?
A: No. The guides are written for everyday parents. If you want to lead, you can. If you’d rather let your child work independently, that works too.
Q: How much time per day should we spend?
A: On average, 2–3 hours of focused work is plenty for most grade levels; that doesn’t need to be consistently, it can be spread out. The rest of the day can be spent reading, creating, serving, exploring, etc.
Q: How is THEO faith-based?
A: Every week includes Bible/faith content, plus integration of Christian values throughout lessons. But it’s not about “school religion class”, it’s about connecting faith to real life.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: $29/month for full access (digital worksheets, guides, videos, webinars, support, and more) or $449 one-time for the full workbook + webinar access.
Students’ FAQ:
Q: Why do we do weeks instead of daily lessons?
A: Because life isn’t broken into 180 tiny pieces. A week gives you freedom to work at your pace and still get everything done.
Q: Will this be boring?
A: Nope. You’ll read, solve problems, watch videos, play games, and even talk about real-life situations (like handling arguments or money).
Q: Do I have to sit at a desk all day?
A: No way. Most weeks can be done in 2–3 hours a day. After that, you can explore, create, or take breaks.
Q: What if I don’t get it?
A: That’s okay. The Parent Guide, videos, and even text/phone support are there for you. Plus, you can ask questions in the biweekly webinar.
Q: Why does THEO include emotional intelligence stuff?
A: Because math and reading are important, but so is knowing how to deal with feelings, friends, family, and your future job. It’s training for life.
