You’ll hear about four “all-in-one” programs, dozens of subject-specific tools, how to snag freebies from vendors, and tips for DIYing your own courses with AI assistance. 1. “All-in-One” Homeschool Curricula These comprehensive platforms give you daily lesson plans for multiple grades and subjects—often covering 80–90% of what you need. Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool (grades 8–12; Christian worldview, but easily adapted) Khan Academy (beyond math: science, history, arts; best as a supplement) Ambleside Online (Charlotte Mason style; public-domain “living books”; year-based levels) CK-12 Foundation (flexible “Flexbooks” in math, science, social studies, electives; built-in videos, quizzes, AI practice) 2. Subject-Specific Free Resources If you need only one or two subjects, pick and choose from these specialized platforms: Civics & Government : iCivics (interactive games & lessons) STEM & Finance : EverFi (STEM, history, health, personal finance) Coding : Code.org (full K–12 computer science courses) Personal Finance : Next Gen Personal Finance (games, interactives) Foreign Language : Duolingo (supplement), Mango Languages (library-provided) 3. Vendor “Freebies” in Exchange for Email Many curriculum publishers offer sample unit studies or mini-courses free when you subscribe: FundaFunda Academy – “ States of Matter ” unit study (grades 4–8) PeanutButterFish Lessons – weekly free unit studies for younger ages Music in Our Homeschool – free music-appreciation lessons Literary Adventures for Kids – curated reading lists by grade Seven Sisters Homeschool – three years of free high-school English outlines Tip: Use a spreadsheet or digital folder system (see Ep. 219 ) to track all your downloads, logins, and newsletter freebies. 4. DIY Curriculum with AI Assistance When you can’t find exactly what you need, build your own: Gather source materials : library books, YouTube Crash Course videos, open educational resources. Leverage AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) to generate: Lesson outlines Comprehension questions & quizzes Suggested projects & hands-on activities Grading rubrics and schedules Customize by age, credit requirements, and learning style.
