christian home school curriculum

A:Well, really, any curriculum used at home is self-paced. Just because it may be set up specifically to do x pages per day doesn't mean you have to do that. If you're looking for an all-in-one curriculum, A Beka, Bob Jones and Alpha Omega are all fairly popular. Sonlight is also popular, but structured very differently. It goes through all grade levels.

A:Before you start looking at curricula, I think you should consider your child's learning style and the different homeschooling methods available. There are many different ways to teach and you want to find one that's right for your child. You can find a Christian homeschool curriculum in any of the different methods. Here is a description of learning styles: http://www.successful-homeschooling.com/learning-styles.html Here is a description of different homeschool methods along with links to different curriclum providers: http://www.successful-homeschooling.com/homeschooling-methods.html Once you have narrowed down your options, see if you can find a way to view the materials up close before making a final decision. You can read reviews of different programs at: http://www.homeschoolreviews.com Good luck making a decision!

A:To the person who said, "What's Christian about math, grammar..." and so on, Christian curriculum includes religious stuff within those subjects. I have a copy of English for Young Catholics and it's all grammar done with religious sentences. In any case, if you're looking for a full prepackaged curriculum, I know this question has come up before and some ideas were listed but I can't remember what other than Oak Meadow. Maybe do a search in answers for secular curriculum. Other things I know of: Language Arts: Plaid Phonics, Explode the Code, Phonics Pathways, Writing Road to Reading, Learning Language Arts through Literature, Writing Strands (actually designed for homeschoolers), Sequential Spelling, Spelling Power, Spelling Workout, Language Power, Spectrum Phonics, Spectrum Reading and more. Math: Actually, there's a LOT out there for math. Saxon, Math-U-See. Chalkdust, Moving With Math, Singapore Math, MCP Math, Ray's Arithmetic, Miquon, Specturm Math, Teaching Textbooks, you can get workbooks and other supplementary resources at any teacher supply store, even at places like Staples. Science: TOPS science units. Not sure what else. I don't use a formal program for science. And other than Christian moms who might use things from Apologia, I can't think of any specific program other moms use. They just find books of interest at the library, including things with project and experiments. Janice Van Cleave has got some popular and easy books to work with. History/Social Studies: Again, I don't really know anybody who follows an all-encompassing program for this. They decide what they want the kids to learn and mainly rely on books from the library, but may find some good books at bookstores or through Usborne. DK books are quite good.
