Secular Homeschool Resources
Secular Curricula and Educational Resources We've Used and Loved While Homeschooling. Resources on this list for Elementary-Middle School transition.
Math
We preferred 2022 to Dimensions, the sheer volume of problems with Dimensions was overwhelming.
Scholastic magazines have been a HUGE hit. We used them in so many ways. We also use the Teachables subscription for printable resources.
Fun game to increase math fluency.
Science
I am NOT an experiment mom, but we have managed pretty well with this series. I like that they're doing focused lab science instead of scattershot generalized science. It was a good transition from My Pals Are Here!
What we did when they were younger. They blew through all six levels in two years, though.
My kids LOVE this show. We were also thrilled to see Carly join the cast, because they grew up with her on Sprout.
This whole series is just STUNNING. We also get the activity books, as well.
ELA
Great program, and I can vouch for zero tears as a result of these resources 😜
Questionable ties to Scientology (they say none whatsoever), but this is a very good spelling program...the only one we've liked.
So much more than an online book club, we started with The Bookish Society at the outset of the pandemic, and we’re still going strong. This community of families has been an absolute game-changer for all of our lives. If your kid likes reading, stor...
History
Tons of free lesson plans, resources, and reading suggestions.
This series is FANTASTIC, and the host is a delight.
Really great, thorough history curriculum. Formatted in dialogue between two characters. Audio books available. Minecraft enrichment activities, if your kiddo is into that.
Good history program, the last few lessons feel like 10 lbs of info in a 5 lb sack, but we trimmed a fair amount.
Art
This is such a robust, fun, comprehensive art subscription with a LOT of live and on-demand video support.
Other Stuff
Fun, visual series. My kids loved to draw from this collection of books.
Very fun and educational game for the whole fam.
Print basically any page from Evan-Moor's extensive resource collection for one low monthly fee.
Shockingly low-cost streaming subscription with a TON of great educational programming. I think it has all of the Crash Course stuff.
