The Ultimate Homeschool Curriculum List came out of a discussion I had with fellow homeschooling moms. Every year we struggle to find a homeschool curriculum list that provides both breadth and depth and includes resources to keep our kids engaged. Not only do they get bored easily, but we want them to have a well-rounded education. It hard to find new and unique products these days, it’s also hard to find a comprehensive Homeschool Curriculum List. So, we put together this 2019 Ultimate Homeschool Curriculum List just for that very reason. These products are some that we use in our homeschooling, and/or have come highly recommended from other homeschooling families. We hope that you will spend some time getting to know the companies on this 2019 homeschool curriculum list. They are all small businesses and your support of them is not only greatly appreciated, it gives you the chance to try something new and innovative with your kids.
NOTE: The products & services in the 2019 Ultimate Homeschool Curriculum List are listed in alphabetical order. Enjoy!

Character First Education – “Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness.” – Anne Frank
Developing a solid foundation of character in our children and in our families is essential to making good decisions and building true success in life. Character can grow if encouraged and as parents and caregivers, it is our responsibility to instill strong values in our children.
Our curriculum actively opens the dialogue about character through engaging stories from history and nature, real-life experiments you can perform with common materials, songs, poems, enriching projects—both short-term and long-term, and enjoyable games and activities. Besides studying what each character trait means, you will also have the opportunity to apply it directly to life with 5 “I Wills” that remind us what it means to live a life of character.

As in their other Case Makers Academy books, J. Warner and Susie Wallace teach kids to think like detectives by reaching into their detective tool bag.
