I am a teacher and also have homeschooled. In a traditional school it takes all day due to transitions and distractions.
At home it is possible to homeschool in about two hours.
This is giving about 25 minutes per subject and also giving that there are no problems that need additional instruction.
We hold ourselves too accountable in these areas, as we should, but the fact that you have obvious convictions in this area tells me you are on this.
God bless you, keep up the great work with your child!

I am currently hsing a grade 3,4 and 7. My grade 3 spends about 2 hours a day doing seat work. She does journaling, math, spelling in the morning. Right now we are doing about an hour of science in the afternoons. I have incorporated writing, art, history and math also into this activity. I love homeschooling. It can be challenging some days, but always worth it. The wonderful thing about hsing is that not all learning needs to be tied to a textbook. Cook, paint, or just make a mess! Everything can be turned into some kind of lesson.
Have fun!

You should set up enough time per subject. Since you are teaching one person and not 15-35, you are able to get the child behaving quicker, and be able to get back on whatever you are working on. If you do the 5 major subject, math, english, social studies, science, and reading, and than so time for gym/health, language, or other subjects you are choosing, then you should work with about 45 minutes for the major subjects and 30 minutes for the other subjects. so about 6-8 hours of teaching, including a break for lunch and changing to different subjects. Then the child should have 90-120 minutes of studing/homework time. Don't forget to have the child read 5-6 nights a week for about 60 minutes.

Consider also that many states have requirements on the number of hours a child must be homeschooled.

Are you referring to Seton Catholic Curriculum?
I would say an average of 4 to 6 hours a day, depending on individual study habits, and possible extra curricular activities.
