Picking Secular Homeschool Curriculum

Choosing a secular homeschool curriculum can be daunting. There are so many to choose from and it can be tough to determine which one is right for you and your family.

There is no one secular homeschool curriculum that is perfect for every family. However, there are some key features that all secular homeschool curriculums share.

Cost tends to be the deal-breaker when shopping for curriculum. It can get really expensive if you are buying all brand new, and all the materials the company sells.

There are other options: – buying used curriculum from websites or Facebook homeschooling groups – borrowing books from the library

How old are your kids? Are they ready for independent learning or are you still very much involved in every part of it?

What learning approach will you be following? Through time I’ve learned that we are eclectic homeschoolers. I think that the most beneficial thing we did in our first two years of homeschooling was to just be.

Computer-based homeschool curriculum or bookwork is the first big question for a lot too.

Don’t jump into a curriculum. There are ways to make a curriculum work for you even if it ends up not being everything you dreamt it would be.
