Most of our lessons can be divided up into about two to three hours (split between independent work and focused time together), four to five days a week. Our lessons are short--most of them around twenty to twenty-five minutes long. We want your child to have LOTS of time for free play and outside time, and believe they can have a rich learning experience without spending their entire day buried in worksheets.

• Parents who need a secular curriculum for their child
• Parents who want their child’s year to be filled with exposure to the arts, nature, science, and quality children’s literature
• Parents who need a curriculum that gently introduces early academic foundations in a developmentally appropriate way and moves at their child’s own unique pace
• Busy parents who need a program with minimal prep time each week (about half an hour)
• Parents on a budget that cannot afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a boxed curriculum package
• Parents who want their child’s homeschooling experience to be beautiful, rich, and full of delight
• Parents with hands-on learners

• Parents who need a curriculum that includes Bible study or a religious perspective
• Parents who want a curriculum that their child can do completely independently (Our curriculum requires 1.5 - 2 hours a day, 4 to 5 days a week, of focused time together)
• Parents who prefer workbooks to hands-on activities
• Parents who want an online school experience for their child
• Parents who need an academic program for their child that mirrors what is being taught in brick-and-mortar schools
• Parents who need every supply, book, and material for their year included in their purchase (Our curriculum is designed to use a few basic art supplies, typical household items, and many books that can be found at a library or for purchase used)

A typical week in our curriculum will require around 30 to 45 minutes to prepare for. We suggest looking at the book and supply lists in the parent guide as soon as possible and collecting your materials before the school year begins. Books can be ordered online, found in used bookstores, or borrowed from the library.

Your child should be reading the phonemes, graphemes, and morphemes covered in Levels 0 - 4 with confidence. (Please see the scope and sequences provided on each level's page for reference.) If your child needs more support in this area at this time, we highly recommend supplementing with a full, comprehensive phonics curriculum like All About Reading so that they can get additional reading support while continuing to explore and enjoy the rich literature and hands-on activities in our language arts curriculum.
