I don’t see anyone else asking this question, but I’m still going to do so. Can you define what you mean by “distance learning”??? Are you considering a boarding school for your child, or sending them away somewhere to school? I’m not sure what you mean. Others here are giving you input about online learning, which is a great way to go, but not at all referred to as “distance learning”.
If you ARE considering sending your child away someone, I would beg you to reconsider. If you’re looking to have them finish their education through online resources, that is a great idea. I’m not sure how you’re differentiating between homeschooling your two youngest, and schooling your older one somehow differently. I homeschool four children as a single mother, ages 7 to 15, and we have a wonderful life, so I know it can be done well. Good luck...
here is one definition of distance learning... when i worked in corporate education, this is what we meant by distance learning...
Education in which students take academic courses by accessing information and communicating with the instructor asynchronously over a computer network. Also called distance education.
“Distance learning” is schooling led by a teacher who is not in your home.. Usually it’s done online — the students are in a virtual classroom with the teacher and other students. There are various methods employed for correspondence between the teacher and the student.

The same term is used to refer to people who take university level classes online.
No no, I wouldn't do that. I meant an online school, rather than home schooling.
