Curriculum & Resources
Curriculum providers, materials, and learning resources
Choosing a curriculum is one of the most personal decisions in homeschooling. Options range from structured all-in-one programs like Saxon and Abeka to eclectic mixes of unit studies, living books, and online courses. Local curriculum providers and homeschool stores let families review materials before buying — a real advantage over ordering blind. Co-op lending libraries and used curriculum fairs are worth knowing about in your area. When choosing, consider your child's learning style, your family's schedule, and how much structure you want to provide versus outsource.

What to look for
Start with fit: subject, age level, schedule, cost, and whether the programme actually matches the kind of support or challenge your student needs right now.
Before you choose
The right option usually explains what it does well, who it is for, and how progress works. If it sounds polished but still vague, keep going.
What families usually compare
- How close it is and whether the timing works in real life
- Who it is for, how it runs, and what is actually included
- Whether the pricing, reviews, and next step feel clear enough to trust
Questions worth asking
- What should families know before they book or enquire?
- Are there any age, schedule, or availability limits that matter up front?
- What usually makes one option a better fit than another?
