Homeschooling curriculum comes in various forms from a number of reputable publishers. There are many resources, both online and at curriculum fairs, where homeschooling families can purchase Christian based materials. Christian based homeschool materials are usually clearly labeled and are part of an ongoing homeschool experience.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine what subjects and grade levels you need for your homeschool curriculum. Christian based materials teach homeschoolers from a Christian worldview and include not only the academic subjects, but religion and Bible as well.

  2. Step 2

    Research different Christian publishers that sell homeschool curriculum. Be sure to choose publishers that match the kind of faith based teaching you want to do in your home.

  3. Step 3

    Attend a homeschool curriculum fair in your area. These fairs are a great way to purchase new materials from Christian publishers or network with other homeschool parents for used material.

  4. Step 4

    Consider trading curriculum with other homeschool parents in your area or co-op. Text books from Christian publishers can easily be reused, leaving only consumables that have to be purchased on a yearly basis.

  5. Step 5

    Join a homeschool fellowship at your church or in your area. Homeschool fellowships provide regular opportunities for parents of homeschoolers to exchange ideas and offer advice to those looking for certain types of materials. The best curriculums are those that have been tried and found successful with homeschoolers.

  6. Step 6

    Get on the mailing list of several reputable homeschool curriculum publishers. This will keep you up to date on the latest offerings and most recent updates to the curriculum you want to use.

Tips & Warnings
  • Do as much research as you can on a particular Christian homeschool curriculum before purchasing. Ask for sample lesson packets for the grade levels you will be teaching so you can try it before you buy it.
