What We’re Using

How we choose our curricula

Through our home-school journey we have always held to the belief that education is not in a curriculum, it is in the world around us. So we’ve always taken whatever sources provided the best and most honest view of that world to each of our children and utilized that resource.

In the last year we’ve determined that the “classical” style best fits our family, but we continue to view education as beyond a simple label or single philosophy.
