Short Term Homeschooling
Curriculum and Remote Learning Resources
It’s back-to-school time and many families are homeschooling for the very first time, or giving homeschooling a shot for another year. You may be considering homeschooling for a full school year. Or you may want to temporarily homeschool—you’re just looking for a curriculum to get you through the first quarter, and then you’ll re-evaluate sending your children back to school.
In order to help families navigate this uncertain back-to-school quandary, we’ve curated a variety of curriculum choices to help you while you make your decision about homeschooling. You'll find a collection of remote learning resources, afterschooling options, supplemental resources, complete homeschool curriculum options, and more on this page.
These all in one, short-term homeschool curriculum packages make it easy to get all of your curriculum materials in one place and simply open and teach.
How to get started:
Simply choose your child's grade level from the quarterly curriculum packages below, add a Math program appropriate to your child’s skill level or school requirements, any optional language arts materials and desired electives… and you’ve got a complete curriculum! Flexibility without a year-long commitment.
Second, third and fourth-quarter packages will be added soon in order to round out a full school year. If you already know you’ll be homeschooling for the full academic year, we recommend you purchase a History / Bible / Literature or All-Subjects Package for the complete Sonlight experience.
NOTE: These products are available for purchase only for the 2020-2021 school year.

Hands-on, student-paced, mastery-based approach that focuses on developing a true understanding of mathematical concepts transferable to real-world application. Math that actually sticks with your kids so they can use it in real life.
Horizons Math
Designed to help your children understand math from the ground up. The program introduces math properties, truths, and principles one at a time, builds the strength of the student's foundation through practice, and then moves to the next principle.
Singapore Math
Extremely clear, highly logical and sequential, with a strong focus on "mental math." Students get the right amount of practice without too much repetition. Challenging word problems build thinking skills and students apply math in a variety of situations.
Saxon Math
Incremental (little by little) approach to math, introducing a new skill or principle each day, then reviewing these concepts and skills day after day for weeks. This approach helps build students' confidence in their ability to "do" math successfully.
Miquon Math
Helps children learn to view the world mathematically. The program emphasizes mathematical patterns and relationships rather than pre-set formulas and methods.
RightStart Math
Comprehensive math program for your children that uses visualization of quantities and provides strategies (visual pictures) for learning the facts. Kinesthetic and visual.
