I love searching out new-to-us curriculum. There are so many ways to learn. In my adventures into the deep depths of home school curriculum it is a hard wade through to find secular. But they do exist and a lot of the are very book heavy, world minded and nature immersive!
My favorites so far are: Build Your Library
Build your library:
Emily has put together a great almost full ( need to add math ) curriculum through high school. It is very doable and easily laid out. We were able to find about 50-60% of the books at our library , the rest we ordered. Although we loved Level 0 last year, we are not loving Level 1 as much. In fact I dropped all the LA, poetry and recently mythology and we are only doing part of the science / nature work. SO basically, we are only using it for partial science and social studies / history.
It's still a great curriculum we just gravitated more towards the Blossom and Root Program this year.
Speaking of Blossom and Root : Blossom and Root
This one actually took me awhile to warm up to. First off because of the heavy amount of printing. The purchase is completely digital and you have A LOT to print. I did it slowly and did very little in color and only what we needed.
We started out using the Year Two unit and we loved it! Which made me go back and look at what we missed in Year One. Now, let me say that Year One is appropriate for grades 1-4. I loved what I saw so I ordered Year One, put Year Two away for later and off we went on our journey. We are loving it so far.
This is some awesome free curriculum I just stumbled upon that is :Under the Home
It is a completely free K-4 Charlotte Mason curriculum. There is no additional books you need, everything is included. This is an awesome resource!! The lessons are simple and FREE! The lessons are mostly based out of old lesson books but they still seem to appeal to kids and not be outdated. And it includes music and art lessons which is awesome!
Another one I haven't tried yet but looks pretty cool is : Torchlight
I am eager to try this one. But it is a literature based secular homeschool curriculum. The books that they use look perfect for teaching kids through literature.
Until I order the full curriculum I am enjoying going through their book lists and reserving the ones our library has. I love their book lists!
