It's easier to understand GOVS when you put the options next to each other.
What this means when you're choosing
A few takeaways worth pulling out of the table.
Cost
GOVS is free. Homeschool means buying your own curriculum and materials, and some online schools charge tuition. With GOVS, there's never a bill.
Who carries the teaching
With homeschool, that's you. With GOVS, certified teachers carry it, so your family doesn't have to play the role of instructor.
The in-person piece
Most online options are screen-only. GOVS has the Franklin Student Center - a real place for tutoring, coaches, counselors, and events.
The outcome
GOVS ends in a real Ohio diploma and a graduation. That's not a given with every option on this table.
