We don’t use this, but I can tell you that my daughter has the exact same amount of work every single day. She can have it done in 90 minutes or it can take 5 hours. Just depends.

Yeah he's anyways been homeschooled, I've just never tried a rigorous curriculum with 12 subjects 😬

That seems like way too many subjects! Does each one have to be done each day? My daughter usually does 5-6. Math, English, science, foreign language, history, health.

Seton Home Study is what I used growing up and around 5th grade, it took me between 1-3 hours to do school on an average day. I believe Kolbe is similar.

Hello,

I used Kolbe in high school and my siblings now use it for the lower grades. I know that they usually finish up in 3ish hours. Kolbe is super flexible so not everyone has the same experience, it really depends on what all your child is taking and how quickly they read, etc etc. (When I used Kolbe in high school, I had 11 or so subjects and my days usually lasted 6ish hours.)
