There are many websites that offer free home schooling curriculum. Many are good but there are many that are a waste of time and effort as well. Before you start on a journey to locate free online homeschooling curriculum you need to decide on what you are looking for.

If you are looking for supplemental work to other printed curriculum or if you are looking for a full year of school work, the website you choose will be different. Also, you should decide if you want a Christian world view or not as some websites will not fit the values you wish to teach your child.

Once you have decided on what you want to teach, you will want to find out about some really good websites. One website to investigate is Donna Young’s website. She offers free home school curriculum downloads in just about every subject. You can find Donna Young’s website at donnayoung.org.

This website will offer math, science, social studies, language arts and more. There is a CD available for a fee but the website is absolutely free to use.

Another really great website for free home schooling curriculum and materials is Journey North. This is mostly a science based website, not necessarily just for homeschoolers.

The focus of Journey North is migration. Every year they track monarch butterfly migration as well as whales, geese, robins and other animals.

You can participate on a number of levels and it is a great place to get a homeschool group involved. All of Journey North’s materials are free. It is a great science and social studies home school curriculum.

Are there home school curriculum reviews available?

Yes, Cathy Duffy has a book, The Top 100 Homeschool Curriculum. This is a must read for every family considering homeschooling. She will tell you what the best homeschooling curriculum is.

Can you get accredited homeschool curriculum for free?

If you are going to use an accredited homeschool program such as The Grace Academy or others like it then you are going to have to pay for it. Some of these schools may offer scholarships to needy individuals, but you will have to ask each school directly.

There are public school based programs that are considered cyber classrooms, however these are considered to be part of the public school and are not considered homeschool. You can also get used homeschool curriculum.

This is where you can really save money. Check with your local homeschool groups to see if there are materials you can borrow. Another place to find free pre-packaged homeschool curriculum that is used is through freecycle.com.

You can put up a want add and request the curriculum you need. There may be a homeschool family who can accommodate your request. Craig’s List is another option too. These are ways to get free online homeschooling curriculum. Make sure that you know what you want and then have fun finding it.
