Explore our comprehensive homeschool curriculum, designed to enhance your child's learning experience.
History and Literature Instructor's Guides
This homeschool curriculum includes separate Parent & Student Guides featuring a 36-Week, 4-Day schedule. This schedule allows you to save one day each week for co-ops, music lessons, sports, field trips, or other extracurricular activities. While the Parent and Student Guides are nearly identical, the Parent Guide includes answers to discussion questions, map activities, and helpful notes about the content and grading.
With all lesson plans and organization prepared for you, you can focus on enjoying time with your students and learning together. Let the discussion questions and captivating books inspire meaningful conversations about family, politics, history, and character. Simply open your guide each day to see what to read and discuss.
Virtual Learning
An optional online platform enables students to access reading schedules, take assessments, and receive instant auto-grading results. Parents can track and review student work, customize assessments, and message students directly from a computer or mobile device. Each Virtual course includes one student and one parent/teacher account.
If purchased in April, May, or June, access to the Virtual platform can start as early as July 1st. You can begin your course on a date of your choice, up to six months from the purchase date. Please note that virtual courses must be started within six months of purchase, and you will have 12 months from your start date to complete the course.
History & Geography │ American History
Utilizing Joy Hakim's award-winning series, A History of US, students will engage with the foundational story of our nation through interesting text, photos, and illustrations. Additional great books, such as Before Columbus, Freedom Walkers, and Sacajawea, enhance the history portion. Supplemental notes in both the Student and Parent Guides provide extra context to complement the books.
We also incorporate Joy Hakim’s The Story of Science series, which focuses on three of the world’s most influential scientists: Aristotle, Newton, and Einstein. Each book offers historical perspectives and scientific explanations, helping students understand how these scientists contributed to our knowledge of matter, mechanics, mathematics, and the universe.
American Historical Literature & Language Arts
This section is designed to integrate seamlessly with the history course material. Students will read classic literary works such as To Kill a Mockingbird, The Call of the Wild, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. These literary treasures will enhance writing skills, vocabulary, cultural literacy, and a love for learning, while stimulating critical thinking through engaging ideas and characters.
The Language Arts portion aligns closely with the literature, providing a complete writing program that develops critical thinking, literary analysis, and creative writing. Instruction covers various writing types, including narrative, argumentative, expository, persuasive, and descriptive writing. Students will also complete a four-week research project and various reporting assignments (similar to a periodical). Each writing assignment concludes with evaluation questions for parents to assess the quality of their child’s work.
An optional supplement, Wordly Wise 3000 Book 8 & Teacher's Key, is scheduled in the guide for convenience but is not required (not included in the All-Subject Package unless added via the Customize Tab).
Science │ Physics, Electromagnetism, and Waves
This module includes a schedule with discussion questions, a Student Lab Book, a Parent Answer Key, and a Science Supplies Kit that provides all necessary materials for student labs.
The curriculum also features The Story of Science series, focusing on Aristotle, Newton, and Einstein, to deepen understanding of key scientific concepts. Students should have a basic knowledge of algebra to complete some lab work in this program.
Math
The Math-U-See Algebra 1 Universal Set is included in this All-Subject Package. You may also choose from other math programs, such as Saxon, using the Customize tab. To assess your student's readiness for Algebra 1, please take the Algebra 1 Readiness Assessment.

Can I use this package with both of my children?
Yes, you can! Your students will be able to share most of the resources in the All-Subject Package, including Read-Alouds, Science, and History. They can also share the Timeline Book and Timeline Figures, but you will need duplicates of some of the worksheets. You may also need additional math resources. Please look at the “Consumables” tab to see a full list of the consumable materials in this package.
Please remember that Math is a skill based subject. Even though your students are in the same age range, they may not have the same skill levels. Use the assessments on our Resources page to help you pick the correct Math option for each of your children. Once you know the correct Math levels, customize the All-Subject Package to fit one of your student’s needs. Then, supplement the package with an additional Math program that fits your other students.
Not sure if this is the right fit? Please review the options below to find a package that will work for both of your children:
- Ages 11-13 | Level G All-Subject Package
- Ages 13-15 | Level H All-Subject Package
- Ages 12-16 | American History & Literature I
If there is more than a three year age difference between your children, we recommend that you purchase a separate package for each student.
Can my students share the Science Supplies Kit and Student Lab Book?
If your students are willing to work together as lab partners, they can share the resources in the Science Supplies Kit I and Student Lab Book. But, a second set is recommended so that each student performs every experiment.
Which Math program/level will be best for my child?
Math, like reading, is a skill-based subject. It is important to pick a program and a level that fits with your child’s learning style and ability. Please take a look at our Resources page for a comparison of our different math options. We also have placement tests to help you figure out the appropriate starting point for your child.
Can I purchase the package without Math?
Our All-Subject Packages are built to include everything you need for your school year: History, Reading, Language Arts, Science, and Math. We love our packages so much that we discount them 20% off the retail price. You can purchase the elements of the All-Subject package without purchasing math, but you will not receive our 20% off package discount.
If you are certain none of our math options will work for you, please add the following products to your cart individually:
What are the “Required Resources” and why are they required?
The Required Resources include a big binder with 36-week tabs for your Instructor’s Guides, The Timeline Book, a reusable Markable Map, and a set of wet-erase markers. These resources will be reused in almost every level of our History program and can be shared by multiple students. You will be given the option to purchase these items every time you buy an All-Subject or Reading with History Package, but you only need to buy it once.

The decision to homeschool our daughter, Alexa, was an easy one. Choosing a curriculum that worked well with her goals and schedule was a little more difficult.
