CURRICULUM & RESOURCES
1. Choosing Curriculum
Homeschooling offers the opportunity for craftsmanship in education.
Now is the time to think through your educational goals as you consider what curriculum/teaching materials would best meet your students' needs. Inquire of godly parents with experience in homeschooling. Find out what teaching materials they use, what they like and don't like about them and why. Read books and articles about homeschooling to broaden your perspective. Most important: pray and seek the Lord's direction.
