Just a word of caution...We've used easy peasy for years but recently had to step away from it. My 2 sophomore boys were using the EP highschool biology and discovered it was heavily steeped in evolution. They came to me multiple times but we kept plugging through until we realized we just couldn't anymore. EP blessed my homeschool for many years but I would NOT recommend their highschool biology course. I've enjoyed apologia very much and hadn't heard of generations before...I'll be checking that one out! Thanks for this awesome compilation!
Oh that's so interesting. Lee Giles says she is a creationist so I'm so surprised to hear this. Is it that the link to evolutionary videos on secular sites? (This is a bit dissapointing to hear!)
You realize they have to understand the science Industry to be able to get along with work with and be interpreted by others don't you? or are you raising them to stay home and look after you or something?
@@karlbuchanan1363I'm actually not against evolution. I majored in science in college, am in the medical field, and see no reason the Lord couldnt have used / use it in creation. Evolution is evident in viruses/ bacteria and in natural selection. I take issue though w those who believe we evolved from apes or that rats evolved into whales and visaversa.

Yes! I'm editing it this week...so should come out shortly...I actually kept your comment as unresponded to because it was my to-do list of requests!!! Here's the blog post if you're still interested but know this is a ridiculously long time to reply: www.homeschoolcurriculum101.com/blog/homeschool-high-school-curriculum-picks And then if you wanted the more high school accredited list, this is it: www.homeschoolcurriculum101.com/blog/accredited-homeschool-curriculum-high-school But they'll come out in video form in the next few months/weeks (depending on how I fell...third trimester and sick...) BTW these posts are basically scripts of the videos when they come out.
I'm pulling my daughter from public school...a couple of the moms in our social group are as well. Since I teach computer programming remotely at night I'm home during the day so I agreed to teach our kids. We just started looking into programs. Since not all are christian (some catholic) but ALL conservative I suggested looking for a classical curriculum. You mentioned one program do you have any more suggestions? Classical education is something desperately needed in the upcoming generation. I went to a non denominational christian private school then a baptist boarding school for high school where we used the ACE curriculum with paces. Surprisingly I was able to graduate a year early and tested into high level college math science and rhetoric. So they definitely prepared me for college. Our kids are being dangerously indoctrinated in public school. It's affecting their mental and physical health. We can't stand by and let it happen. So we are turning to homeschool. Thanks for any information you can give.
I work for bju press and would definitely recommend their online video courses! Also I am looking into Christian Light Education as well. It is more of a charlotte Mason unit type. It also has a dyslexia program if needed for reading.
I'm not knocking, but as a parent I am concerned about when a child's acumen in subjects achieves their parents, as they are the educator. Especially if the understanding is at all divergent.
I'm so sorry. It could just be my lack of sleep, but can you rephrase your question? I don't want to answer it and find out that I misunderstood you all along. Thanks for your grace.
@@howtohomeschool thank you for the kind reply. However, I didn't ask a question. I stated a concern. I can reframe it as a question for you: What should a parent-educator do if their acumen of a subject is surpassed by either their child's understanding or the supplied curriculum? Also, how do you address a divergence in understanding with regard to things like society, social understandings, social studies... philosophy?
@@davidryanbonelli9242 Got it. I guess I'd look at my parents and say you need love and effort but you don't need a PHD. Case in point 👉 my folks were fairly uneducated. Dad finished high school and got a diploma. Mum didn't finish high school. But she knew how to 'crack the whip'. Our education had loads of [what many might call] holes. But we got through with a love of learning. That meant in later life we loved (and still do) teaching ourselves things. My brother became a lawyer, I went to medical school and my other brother is a pastor (formerly an architect). My parents are not geniuses but they taught us to question things. We used to attend occasionally something like a homeschool co op but this was never our main curriculum. In high school my oldest bro did distance ed. My bro went straight to a university bridging course and I went to trade school for a bit. Does that answer the question? Good question btw.
You access resources that match your child's intelligence and ability and one of mine will be not let homosexuals use a word salad to try and say what do they do if they want to be gay or communist. what a crock.
I'm going to do a review of the top Bible curriculums shortly, but 33 weeks pregant and sick and nothing is happening at the moment!!! The current videos going out are old ones I have in stock. Would love some prayer if you're up for it on this. God bless.
I haven't heard of Remote Learning Homeschool Pro. Acellus is very popular. It's actually the name of the technology though, used in Power Homeschool (unaccredited and much cheaper) and Acellus Academy (accredited and much more expensive).
Thank you for your videos - especially those on Generations curricula. I just ordered their Bible, reading, and science curricula for our 3 children. Same goes for BJU - your videos are super helpful! Thank you for the work you do! May God bless you 🙏🏻❤️
Do you have review on ignite?? My child currently finishing 8th liberty K-12 not happy with it. I absolutely love your reviews. You briefly spoke on ingnite I have narrow dwn to this one for my 9th grader curious a bit on their style biblical teachings. Thank you
I haven't but I want to. I think my only problem with it is that it's ridiculously expensive. But that's because they'll help your kids every step of the way. If you can afford it and need that extra help, I'd say go for it :) God bless.
Yes. Maybe it has changed, but I used it when I was young and it was so easy, it has forever put me off doing it. I don't know that it has the same reputation now though. It's also completely offline, which will be good for some and not for others. Very affordable. It's a great option for special needs I think though...fantastic. And I like the Christian content.
Have you done time4learning and supplemented with Biblical teaching? I'm new and very curious about this program for elementary students. Thank you for sharing these reviews!
I haven't done it, but I have a Christian friend who used it and liked it. I'm not a massive fan of Time 4 Learning because it's secular. I've experienced Christian programs a lot, so I know how much better they are. But some people say I have too high a standard. Maybe pray about it :) And it is my absolute pleasure to share the reviews! I love comments like yours :) God bless.
Great choice. It's not for me because I want something a little bit easier to use. But MFW is very popular and a good choice. Especially for younger years.
GREAT QUESTION. I use them as synonyms. But I suspect maybe you're ultimately asking about accredited and unaccredited programs? If so, watch this video to see it explained. ua-cam.com/video/NRbEBgUHwIM/v-deo.html However, accredited programs, which are much more expensive, are certified by private organizations that rubber stamp the 'good quality' (or what they have assessed as such) of the program you're using. But the unaccredited ones are a lot more affordable and often quite good anyway.
I am so sorry!!! I have just fixed them now. That is what comes of being lazy and cutting and copying. Thanks for letting me know. The BJU Press one is still down because they're undergoing system maintenance (it has been for the last week!), and it's taking longer than expected ted. But if you chat to Sharon [sfisher@preceptmarketing.com] she can help you out and give you a free consultation at the same time if you want that one. The other ones are all working now.
Is Aus easy to homeschool in? @@howtohomeschool Australia is one of the places I consistently pray for due to their heavy secularized society and socially liberal policies. ❤
@@m.willow11 thank you. We need it. It's harder to hs in Oz than most of the United States. But I think Australians just don't have the same conviction about secular schooling as many Americans. Thank you for the prayers. Pray specifically that Australian Christians would WAKE UP. They need a shake something bad.
I have always had a side job. But I'm also VERY frugal :) You can do it without working. But you give up most nice things in life unless your husband earns a lot.
You can work full time... you just need a curriculum for full timers. A lot of accredited programs are perfect here. It's much easier with older children though.
As a Curriculum I do NOT recommend Sonlight, it is very politically biased and pushes wokeism, feminism and other waste of time concepts for children in their school work. Yes, if that is important to you than I am certain your children will pick up on it in normal conversations from your family but it isn‘t needed in literature, math word problems, etc…
Oh, that's really interesting. I haven't heard that one before. I know they also publish Bookshark, but I thought that was more down Bookshark's secular line. Did you do the curriculum for long?
My mom used Sonlight for me growing up and I currently use Sonlight for my own kids. I don’t find this to be true at all. And I can’t stand feminism etc.
Good morning i would love to homeschool my daughter is 13,i dont feel confident about it My daughter is in christian private school not really happy with how things are ran
Try substituting part time for a couple of months at your local schools. Afterward, you'll probably realize you are more than capable, and you'll have some teaching experience without a degree.
Dear Friend! How exciting! My best advice is just start. But don't get teachers manuals. Get something open and go. I did a video on them lately. It is scary starting but it will get easier. Ask any questions here. We're all so happy to help:)
i feel so defeated my family is so against me homeschooling i am a single mom that works from home and i really want to homeschool but i literally have no one that supportive in my family of the idea
@@L0vejenjen I'm so sorry! Have you heard of the M2H Community. It's all about encouraging homeschool moms and dads when they face discouragement. Don't worry. This is common. Many parents find, however, that after they've homeschooled for a while the kids are gorgeous and speak for themselves. But I'll pray for you now xx
Oh, that's good to hear. My friend who was using them said they were taken over by secular people, but I haven't looked into the accuracy of that statement.

What is the best (and cheapest) online video based Christian homeschool site?
Probably Compass Classroom. But just for late middle and high school. (One subscription for all).
I don’t see a memorial press affiliate link?
sorry, my bad. I'll add that now. Thanks for letting me know!
Any thoughts on My Father's World?
Great choice. It's not for me because I want something a little bit easier to use. But MFW is very popular and a good choice. Especially for younger years.
Is homeschooling curriculum the same as homeschooling programs? I’m new and want to sign my son up for homeschool
GREAT QUESTION. I use them as synonyms. But I suspect maybe you're ultimately asking about accredited and unaccredited programs? If so, watch this video to see it explained. ua-cam.com/video/NRbEBgUHwIM/v-deo.html
However, accredited programs, which are much more expensive, are certified by private organizations that rubber stamp the 'good quality' (or what they have assessed as such) of the program you're using.
But the unaccredited ones are a lot more affordable and often quite good anyway.
The links are not working

I saw Masterbooks linked but not mentioned? :(
Oh sorry! Must have forgotten that. For the record, I would include it if I did it again:)
What about ignite Christian academy?
Yes, I think that's a good choice. It's quite heavy on the wallet but that's because it's accredited :)
I like Ace school of tomorrow as a conservative curriculum
Yes, it's very popular!
