Description

Monarch Consumer Services: Introduction is a semester-long, online Christian homeschool elective that explores the skills and careers involved in helping individuals and families make informed decisions as consumers. Lessons cover topics such as financial planning, customer service, housing, food choices, and resource management.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is Monarch accredited and does that matter?

Monarch is a parent-managed homeschool platform and curriculum, not an accredited school. Accreditation applies to institutions, not curricula, since the accrediting body evaluates not only the curricula but also the teaching and organizational practices. However, Monarch’s comprehensive, high-quality courses help parents meet academic standards while customizing education to their child’s needs. 

Because Monarch is a parent-managed homeschool platform and curriculum, not a school, parents of graduating students must provide any high school diplomas, which may be purchased on the AOP website here

Some colleges and universities require high school transcripts to be accredited, but many now also accept homeschool transcripts. If you’re looking for an accredited program that can be completed from home, explore Ignite Christian Academy by AOP.

2. What’s the difference between Monarch and Ignite Christian Academy?

Monarch is a parent-managed online learning platform and comprehensive homeschool curriculum for Christian homeschooling. It’s student-led and self-paced. Whereas, Ignite Christian Academy is a fully accredited online Christian school with certified teachers who manage instruction, grading, and support.
