2017 -2018 Homeschool Curriculum


My son is in 10th grade and my daughter is in 3rd grade. We use Sonlight as our main curriculum. I also made some  YouTube videos that give details on the Sonlight Instructor Guides and all the wonderful books we are using this year in our homeschool. 


10th Grade

Science - Engineering: Assortment of books and projects I put together myself
English/Literature - Sonlight Classic Literature 230
Logic - Art of Argument and Argument Builder by Classical Academic Press

3rd Grade

Math - Right Start Math Level B and all the manipulatives.
English/Literature - Sonlght Language Arts 3
History - Sonlight HBL B

Buying Sonlight in packages will save money. I have linked all the individual products so the cost would be cheaper if you buy in bundles.

Choosing Curriculum for the Homeschool Orthodox Christian Family

Depending on what method you use for your homeschool a basic academic outline of subjects to teach for elementary and middle school will look like this: English Literature Math History/Geography Science Fine Arts Computer/Technology/Keyboarding Physical Education/Health For high school it will depend on your state and if and what college your child will go to. First look at your state requirements and than look at a few requirements for colleges. You can also go to HSLDA website and get helpful information for high school subjects and transcripts. I am a fan of HSLDA, I support them and really appreciate what they do for homeschool families. I am very fortunate to have never needed their assistance but I am happy to be a member so that I can be helping other families during some pretty scary times if you have school officials or truant officers knocking on your door! Some people choose to also teach Latin. Not me, please don't feel you have to. There seems to be

Sonlight and the Orthodox Homeschool Family

Sonlight has been my homeschool staple for nearly all the 16 years we have been homeschooling. But, that doesn't mean I haven't used other stuff or been frustrated with Sonlight. Like everything, it has it's Pro's and Cons. Also, where you are in the season of your life and your own strengths and weaknesses and your children's needs and abilities all play a part in the curriculum you choose. First the Pros: Having a Christian curriculum from a Christian company is just really important to me. The more I feel the modern culture drifting from God the tighter I hold onto this need. I know in some ways this is a bit irrational. Intellectually I understand that secular curriculum can be well made and even excellent. But academics has never been my top priority with home education. The relationships with my children, an enriching environment and Christ - centered have always been my top priorities. The exceptional academics one can get from homeschooling has sort

What Is An Orthodox Christian Homeschool?

An Orthodox Christian Homeschool is a family that is Orthodox Christian and homeschools. Too simple? Yeah...probably... But, sometimes truths can be simple. The bible talks about how diverse the body of Christ is, so it would only make sense than that each Orthodox Christian Homeschool is going to be different. Just look at our churches, they are filled with all sorts of people. People with different strengths and different weaknesses. Our homeschool will be no different. However true this answer is, it's not going to completely help with the work of homeschool. Choosing curriculum, making schedules, planning lessons and than the actual teaching of your children. But, the answer above is still useful in terms of focus and not thinking that we have to be doing something entirely different than other homeschools because we are Orthodox Christians. In homeschool, life meets academics and mixes with each other in such a way that it can be challenging to see where one ends an
