Help with Choosing Curriculum

Here are some resources to help you find curriculum that will work best for your child this year. Remember that it takes some trial and error to discover what curriculum will serve your family best.

Curriculum Q&A

I’ve received a lot of questions regarding homeschool curriculum so in this video I answer a lot of them!

Here is a list of questions that I tackle in this video. They are listed in the order that I answer them.

  • Curriculum choices are overwhelming. Tips for how to narrow down choices and choose the best for my family.
  • Do you have any go-to places to research curriculum choices?
  • I watched several videos where you talked about how much you like SWR. Why did you stop using it?
  • Lots of posts about BJU math. Do you like it better than MUS now?
  • Why aren’t you using Veritas Press self-paced courses anymore?
  • We are new to homeschooling. Should I go with a boxed curriculum for our first year?
  • If a curriculum isn’t working for my family, should we switch in the middle of the year or wait until the new school year?
  • Family style Bible curriculum recommendations? (for mom, dad, and kids)
  • What are your favorite phonics, spelling, and vocabulary curriculums?
  • Looking into DVD options for high school. Any tips/tricks or advice?
  • How much time does IEW’s Structure and Style video course take each day? Is it teacher intensive? I saw from someone that it takes up a lot of time watching the video and the parent usually has to be there to watch also. I was also considering EIW instead for that reason.
  • BJU math. I read a review that their math is rigorous and takes their child a long time. I like the conceptual understanding of BJU math, but I was wondering if it would be a difficult jump from MUS to that.
  • Does BJU Press math lessons take a lot of the teacher’s time or is it about the same as Math U See?
  • Thoughts on the Good and the Beautiful curriculum?
