Single-parent Homeschooling - Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment

Public school dual enrollment was designed so that high school students could attend college and high school at the same time. But in Colorado it is being allowed by public schools for homeschoolers. Dual enrollment allows students of any age to attend homeschool part-time, and the local public school part-time. It allows the public school to report increases in their enrollment numbers, and therefore increases in their tax allotment. It also allows homeschoolers to attend school while their parents are working. For example, if a single parent works outside of the home from 8AM to 5PM, instead of staying home alone all day, their children can attend a dual enrollment public school program in the morning, and then work on self-directed projects or on a self-selected volunteer job in the afternoon. If afternoon supervision is desired or required, afternoon hours can be spent at a two-parent friend's house, or even another single parent friend's house, until their parent get home from work.
