SchoolhouseTeachers.com


Disclaimer:  I received this complimentary product through the 
Homeschool Review Crew.

Our family uses SchoolhouseTeachers.com a division of The Old Schoolhouse® for a few of our subjects. SchoolhouseTeachers.com offers Christian, self-paced, online homeschooling courses and curriculum for PreK-High School. The beauty of the curriculum is that it is not live so your child can start courses at any point during the year. The Ultimate Membership gives you access to every course, over 400+ courses, in PreK-12th grade. Several payment options available. You pay just ONE PRICE for your entire family. 

Not only does SchoolhouseTeachers.com offer individual courses, but they also offer virtual Homeschool Curriculum Boxes in PreK - Grade 12 that provide all of the content you will need for all subjects in a Full Curriculum Set. 



Here is an example of what you will find in the 9th grade Full Curriculum Set. 





Parent boxes are coming soon!

The below symbol chart is very helpful if you are looking for a course or curriculum that has specific components. For example, Pre-Algebra has a red dot which means that the course consists of a downloadable textbook. 



Pre-Algebra
My daughter is currently working her way through Pre-Algebra. I have been printing sections
of the textbook as we go. If you are on a very tight budget or do not have 
access to a printer you could have your child write the answers and copy the problems 
down for each lesson as they go. I know that for myself I work best having a physical copy
of whatever I am working on and my kiddos tend to do best when it is printed out as well.

  • 40 weeks, 5 days a week
  • Includes text-based lessons, worksheets, and answer keys

her way through the lessons without any issues.

ASL
This year my 10th grader needed to decide on what foreign language she was going to learn
for high school credits. At the beginning of the school year she told me that she wanted to 
learn ASL. I began to search the internet for courses and programs. I decided to get on 
SchoolhouseTeachers.com to see if by change they had ASL and they did! She is working though
ASL Adventures along with several other online resources that we found. 





Here is one snapshot from Lesson 10's video lesson. 


After each lesson there are a handful of pdf downloads for the student to print. Below is 
one of the printable's for Lesson 10. 


ArtAchieve
We have had the opportunity to review ArtAchieve in the past and absolutely LOVED IT! Not 
only did my children enjoy the art lessons but I did too. My mother who is in her 70's has really enjoyed the ArtAchieve lessons as well. I absolutely love that SchoolhouseTeachers.com has this as part of their curriculum. 


Resources
SchoolhouseTeachers.com offers a huge amount of resources for parents such as: calendars, 
monthly menu planning, helpful charts, high school help, special needs, achievement certificate 
library and so much more. Below is a page from the Master Course List. You are able to see
