Homeschooling - Free Curriculum and Resources

By Holly Garza

Enjoy the free education sites and have fun making your curriculums or just adding to your child’s educational experience.

Here I am including some FREE internet curriculum for you all.

My favorite, especially if you’re an Eclectic Homeschooler (meaning you don’t stick to only one method and you pick different things that work) is this link which tells you what a student should be learning at that “grade” level.

Just click on the “grade” your child is in and work on those subjects with them!!

A free website of curriculum/classes is

Your local Public Library!!!
I usually look up Curriculum stuff online and if there is something that I really want to check out I just get it at the library for free! The Library is where 78-85 % of our homeschooling resources are from!!!
