Navigating the Homeschool Curriculum Jungle

As homeschoolers, we all know how frustrating it can be to search the homeschool curriculum jungle and get stuck using a curriculum that doesn’t work. Do you try something else or just stick with it? What if the next one you choose ends up the same way? Have you ever wished for a way to know it will be right for your family from the start?

That’s exactly why I developed the strategies found in From Chaos to Curriculum. To help guide you through the process of choosing the curriculum YOU need during this season of homeschooling and with this child. Every family, child, budget, interests, and needs are different! So how can we expect any one curriculum to work for every family?

The curriculum dilemma

As homeschool parents, the curriculum jungle can be so overwhelming. Most of us hope to have a curriculum that meets all our needs, but not all of us know how to get there. That is why we need a structured decision-making process.

With a soon-to-be high schooler, I’ve been having to look for new curriculum options as he is aging out of many of the resources we have been using. It’s like starting over in many ways, and sometimes I wish I could just wave a magic wand because there are so. many. options. And it’s so hard to know for sure what will work for him.

But over the years, I’ve figured out the types of curriculum that work for us. I’ve narrowed down the things that are important to us value-wise. And the types of curriculum that will work well for us with the independence level my kids are at as well as the amount of attention I am able to put into the school day. And having that knowledge makes all the difference!

Did you know that all these things should be factors you consider in your curriculum search? 

If you figure out what is important to you and your family in all these ways and more, then you will be so much closer to finding the curriculum that will work well for your kids the first time!

This is what my new ebook From Chaos to Curriculum and the companion workbook will help you accomplish. In these books, I will guide you through what is important for your unique homeschool and what types of curriculum might help you meet your needs. You will learn the terminology of homeschool curriculum so you can navigate curriculum options with more ease. And in the end, you will gain confidence in navigating the homeschool curriculum world.

Now I can’t guarantee this ebook will lead you to the perfect curriculum and you will never struggle again (I wish!). But it will help you gain the knowledge and confidence you need to make wise and informed decisions on homeschool curriculum for your family.

Gain confidence in your choices

As homeschool moms, we’ve all wished for confidence in our curriculum choices. To buy the books, start using them, and never look back. Or maybe that’s just my wish!

In any case, that’s exactly what my new ebook From Chaos to Curriculum is all about – confidence that you’ve made the right decision for your family, no matter what anyone else says!

I’ve homeschooled for going on 10 years now, and it never fails that a couple weeks into the school year with a new curriculum I have doubts. 

  • Is this gonna work? 
  • Is it too much? 
  • Is it enough? 
  • Does it cover the right things?
  • Maybe it’s too boring. 

And every year I usually end up coming to the same conclusion – it is just right!

But do you know why I come to that decision almost every time? It’s because I have done the work upfront. I have gone through the steps of creating goals and choosing subjects. I understand what works for my kids and our family. I know how my kids excel. I know how the curriculum will fit into all our needs and goals. 

And when I don’t come to that conclusion, it’s usually because I sped through the process. 

Because I have already put in the time to gain that knowledge, I now can have confidence that my decision was the right one. It is just the right bit of easy and hard. Fun and work. 

Doing the work doesn’t mean I have no doubts about the curriculum. But if I take a step back and look again at why I chose what I chose, pretty much every time I will come to the same conclusion and would choose it again. 

I no longer choose things because it looks good on the shelf. Or because everyone I know uses it. I use a curriculum because it fills a need and goal we have in our homeschool. 

Of course, this doesn’t mean homeschooling will be smooth from here out – quite the opposite. But it does mean that you won’t need to be switching curriculum mid-year unless your goals and needs change! 

After years of keeping this knowledge to myself, I have finally put all my process and insight into an ebook. So you too can have confidence in the decisions you make in your homeschool curriculum. 

No more choosing because it’s popular. Or easy. Or available. Or cheap. You are choosing it because it’s the right curriculum for your family! So gain the confidence you need by reading From Chaos to Curriculum and using the workbook as you begin choosing next year’s curriculum!
