Christian Homeschool Curriculum We’ve Loved

We’ve tried a lot of Christian homeschool curriculum, but there are Christian homeschool resources we’ve stuck with from the beginning. For some subjects, I couldn’t find a resource I loved, so I wrote our own. Some Christian homeschool curriculum I’ve come across for our boys as they’ve entered middle and high school, and I’m thrilled.

Tapestry of Grace

We’ve used Tapestry of Grace from 1st and 2nd grade through 8th and 9th grade. I LOVE it. The program takes your students through history from Creation to modern day, at four separate levels. Literature based, the program also offers suggestions for writing, crafts, speaking projects, timeline work (check out a great timeline here), and co-op activities.

The program does require some scheduling (I use the homeschool planner I designed).

Take your kids through the Bible in just three years! Try out Bible Road Trip™ with a free three-week sample pack.

I used the curriculum as a schedule–rather than as a binding plan, adding and substituting books as I go. It was a little pricey up front, but after purchasing the four years, I only had to locate the books I wanted to use all the way through high school.

Life of Fred

We love, love, love Life of Fred. This is a fabulous math program!

Life of Fred is a creative literature-based math curricula, as a stand-alone math program. My boys’ test scores have been awesome. You can purchase the sets at Amazon (click the pictures below). When I did my initial research, I found this program comes from a Christian worldview, but that’s not overt.

To learn more about the program, visit the author Stanley Schmidt’s page. It’s not an elegant site, but you’ll learn a lot, and you can download samples. To purchase individual books, you can shop at Z-Twist. (Note: My kids hated the language arts program. But we love the math! Dr. Schmidt is a mathematician, and quite entertaining.)

Apologia Young Explorer Series

If you’re looking for a college-prep-worthy science curriculum for elementary school students.

In elementary school, my boys and I thoroughly enjoyed the Exploring Creation series. The series has great labs, wonderful information, and we loved learning to notebook with the great notebooking journals. Click on any of the photos below to see the individual products on Amazon.

Apologia Middle and High School Science

In middle and high school, the Apologia series is–again–an excellent choice.

We have loved this program, and the boys have even earned college credit through taking CLEP tests in biology and chemistry. The material is wonderful.

I suggest getting the student notebooks whenever possible.

Click on the individual photos to check out the curriculum items on Amazon. (These are in the order you’ll want to do them through physics. The advanced courses are all optional and can be selected based on student interest.)

Cobblestone Path™ Church History Research Journals

Once we realized how wonderful notebooking is, I wanted my kids to notebook and research their way through Christian history.

Cobblestone Path™ is designed for middle and high school students. Learn more here.

Dr. James P. Stobaugh’s Literature Series

For middle and high school students ready to move beyond reading and notebooking, Dr. James P. Stobaugh’s Literature series from Master Books is amazing. My boys have learned so much, and they’re largely independent in their daily work. I help with writing and editing. This program is amazing. I’ve placed the books in order from 6th grade on.

Write Through the Bible

Trisha Gilkerson’s Write Through the Bible series is fabulous. It comes in a junior or regular edition, and you can choose ESV or KJV, ball-and-stick, D’Nealian Manuscript, or cursive.

Spelling Power

I’m including Spelling Power just because it’s a great program. You can purchase one book to use with all of your students all the way through high school, and it takes just a few minutes a day. This isn’t a Christian homeschool resource, but we still love it.

Spelling Power, Fourth Edition

Well, friend, those are my very favorite Christian homeschool resources. God bless your school year!

Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Bible

Love the Bible for Kids | A resource you'll love!

You want your kids to learn and love the Bible.

You want to teach the Bible…

As parents, we deeply desire the best for our kids. We look for the right schools, we make them eat right and exercise, and we get them involved in extracurricular activities. We take our job as parents seriously.

But are we also putting our time and energy into
teaching them the Bible? Giving them the life-changing, soul-nourishing words of Scripture is not only doable, it’s an essential part of parenting kids for Jesus. And the good news is, studying God’s Word as a family doesn’t have to be difficult!

2 Timothy 2:15, ESV, says:

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,
a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Our job, as parents who love Jesus, is to help our kids become approved workers, unashamed and rightly handling the word of truth.

The good news? Teaching the Bible isn’t hard. Your family can learn the Bible together.

…and you can!
