By Marisa Pullan The choices in curriculum get largely overwhelming very, very quickly. Here's a quick breakdown of some of the choices that are available to you. They have been organized by primarily online, text-based, or multi-media options. It has also been noted if they are secular (S) or Christian-based (C). Each delivers from a different philosophical standpoint. Additionally, some are free and some include fees that range from free to quite substantial. Many are complete curricula, while some may focus on a single subject, or are purely supplemental. Online Options Acellus (S) - $$$$, covers pre-k through high school, complete curricula Easy Peasy Homeschool (C) - Free - covers pre-k through high school, complete curricula Monarch (C) - $$$$ - grades 3-12, complete curricula Alpha Omega Academy (C) - $$$$ - k-12, complete curricula Outschool (S) - $$$, variety of classes, some enrichment and some core academics, a la carte Discovery K12 (S) - Free - covers k-12, complete curricula Time 4 Learning (S) - $$ - pre-k through high school, can be complete or supplemental Pearson Homeschool (S) - $$$ - pre-k through high school, can be complete or single subject Penn Foster High School (S) - $$$ - high school only, complete curricula Clickschooling (S) - Free - more for supplemental use or extra practice for various concepts Academic Earth (S) - Free - college-level courses and lectures from top universities Text-based Options Beast Academy (S) - $$ - math only, for grades 2-5 Saxon - (S) - $$/$$$ - math and phonics, for grades 1-12 Shurley English - (S) - $/$$ - English only, for grades 1-8 Singapore Math (S) - $ - math only, for grades k-8 Moving Beyond the Page (S) - $$$$ - pre-k through high school, can be complete curricula Evan-Moor - (S) - $/$$$$ - pre-k through 8, can be complete curricula, single subject, or practice Story of the World (C) - $$$ - some claim this is secular, grades 1-5, history only Notgrass Publishers (C) - $$$$ - for grades 5-12, history only Horizons by AOP - (C) - $$$ - pre-k through 12, can be complete or single subject Rod & Staff - (C) - $/$$ - pre-k through 10, can be complete or single subject Apologia - (C) - $$/$$$$ - pre-k through high school, primarily science and language arts Multi-media Options Switched On Schoolhouse (C) - $$$$ - for grades 3-12, complete curricula Teaching Textbooks (S) - $$/$$$ - for grades 3-12, math only Great Courses Plus - (S) - $$ - college level courses, best for high school or adv middle school A BEka (C) - $$$ - for pre-k through 12, complete curricula BJU Press (C) - $$/$$$$ - for pre-k through 12, can be complete curricula or single subject Please keep in mind that these are actually only a few of the various curriculum options that are available to you and your children.
