Ave Maria is home to many Catholic families that do homeschooling. In addition, approximately 30% of all of the students that are currently enrolled in Ave Maria University were homeschooled. Homeschooling is a growing movement and in Ave Maria it is very common to find families that do Catholic homeschooling. This community of homeschoolers comes from a variety of backgrounds but they all share one common vision - to raise Catholic men and women that are strong in their faith. While nationally approximately 2% of all children are homeschooled in the United States, today 8% of all Catholic priests that are currently studying for the priesthood were homeschooled.
