Stereotypically, pre-packaged curriculums for secular homeschoolers are harder to find. Years ago, the only way to find secular curriculum of any kind was through curriculum swaps, auction sites, and teacher stores for workbooks and unit studies. Parents often struggled to find use public school textbooks and other secular options. Today, however, the need for quality curriculum packages for the secular homeschooler has helped bring about options.
Suppliers work with various publishers to gain access to the same textbooks used in public schools. Finding packaged secular home school curriculum may still take a little more effort, but there are suppliers out there. Websites like secularhomeschool.com and homeschoolsupercenter.com both provide help finding package options. Sets are organized based on budget, with economical curriculum sets providing only the minimum. Larger or “deluxe” packages provide additional subjects, materials, and supplies.
Alternatively, for those teaching children with above or below average academic skills, customized packages are available from both Christian and secular curriculum publishers. In fact, some home school packaged curriculum providers employ professional educational advisors to assist those families who need custom packages. If you have a child that does not fit a particular grade level across the board, these advisors can help design a curriculum that meets your child’s particular needs while still providing the convenience of a pre-packaged curriculum.
