Choosing Your Curriculum

Choosing your Curriculum

If you aren't sure what type of homeschool curriculum will best fit your family, check out this blog post from Jenny Bales. It also shares how to access her much more comprehensive curriculum list! Click on the image above.

Catholic Curriculum Guide

Heart of Mary Educators is a local group and community of Catholic homeschoolers, but during this time while many parents are looking into homeschooling for the first time, below is some information from another former HOME member giving a good overview of Catholic curriculum options.

This list is not meant to be comprehensive but is meant to be a jumping off point as to explore homeschooling options. Some of these sites offer full boxed curriculum, some of them offer individual classes, some work as more of a supplement.


There are stand alone options for history and religion on the list above because sometimes families, for a variety of reasons, will choose a secular or general Christian curriculum or will piece together a curriculum from various companies but they want Catholic recommendations for these particular subjects. These give you options for add-ons! Again, this is not an exhaustive list, just some that are suggested most often

The best (and often the most daunting thing) thing about homeschooling is that you get to tailor make your curriculum to fit your family!
