5 Reasons We Love SchoolhouseTeachers.com

A couple of years ago I was content to keep going with our books-only homeschool program. We had tried online programs and found they didn’t work well for our busy homeschool. Yet, I was introduced to an online homeschool curriculum, one that many people really liked, and cautiously, we checked it out. What we found was that SchoolhouseTeachers.com isn’t your run-of-the-mill digital curriculum.

Over time, we transitioned as we found new ways that SchoolhouseTeachers.com could help make our homeschool better. This realization kept us going back every time we found a need, a gap, or one of my kids simply had a new interest.

And since that first, hesitant review, we have transitioned from a skeptic family, one who hesitantly tried it out, to a family who now uses SchoolhouseTeacher.com as a core curriculum in our homeschool year after year.

5 Reasons We Love SchoolhouseTeachers.com

Before I get going here – let me just tell you there are dozens of reasons why we have come to love SchoolhouseTeachers.com in our homeschool.

Yet, titling a post “All The Reasons We Love SchoolhouseTeachers.com” or simply giving you a list of bullet point reasons didn’t seem like the best way to share this information with you. So I opted instead for 5 of the strongest reasons we love this one homeschool curriculum.

However, if you want to know more, feel free to shoot me an email at kelly@hopeinthechaos.com and ask away. As a current user of the program, I’d be happy to help answer any questions you may have after reading this!

1. It’s A Complete Curriculum for All Of Your Kids

Unlike many online programs, SchoolhouseTeachers is a complete curriculum. It covers all subjects for all grades pre k-12.

All of them.

Need a new math class in March for 5th grade? You can find one right here.

Need an art class because the one you are using isn’t working? There are several to choose from here.

Need a music class because your child is now interested in it? Yeah, it’s there.

Truly. A little over a year ago, my daughter wanted to try out American Sign Language. Not wanting to invest any extra money yet into a new idea, but also wanting to promote her interest, I directed her to SchoolhouseTeachers. She logged on and quickly found ASL Adventures, a 15-week video-based ASL course. Idea to starting the class in less than 30-minutes!

Which brings me to reason #2…

2. Open Enrollment

Or whatever you want to call it… SchoolhouseTeachers allows you to start or end courses at any time. If you find you selected the wrong science class, just change it out.

If one of your kids decides in November they want to study Speech and Drama… send them here! There are 8 different options to chose from.

Maybe your high school student needs to prepare for college entrance testing… there’s a course for that right here!

You see, your subscription includes all of the 450+ courses available on SchoolhouseTeachers.com.

Every. Single One. And you can sign up at whatever time of the year works for you, your children, and your schedule.

For us, this was perfect one spring when my daughter finished up her science course early. She hopped on SchoolhouseTeachers and found a super fun All About Animals science course. This course allowed her to keep working on science and try something new as well (her past 2 courses were all about the human body… it was time for a change).

And because all of the courses are included with our Annual Membership, I didn’t have to pay anything extra.

3. High School Electives

Yeah, my kids are free to choose how they use SchoolhouseTeachers. Some years we worked on electives, other years we filled a science gap.

Last year, my oldest worked on a custom high school elective math course that is covering my graduation requirement of consumer math.

How? I’m glad you asked!

Last summer, as I was looking at course loads and educational paths for my children I noticed my oldest, a sophomore, was opting for a heavy load. Not wanting to thwart his enthusiasm, but also concerned he was taking on too much, I decided this would be a good year to take on consumer math rather than Algebra 2.

I did look elsewhere, but after checking out several options, my son and I decided that combining Math 101 and Personal Finance, both on SchoolhouseTeachers.com, was our best bet. It covered the widest array of items and allowed us the flexibility his 10th-grade year needed.

4. Accommodating Different Learning Styles

SchoolhouseTeachers.com offers courses for all learning styles. Video-based learning, worksheets, and more are all on the site and easy to access.

And it’s super easy to tell what type, of course, you are looking at before you start. Simply check out the colored shapes and compare them with how your child learns best.

This is perfect for my kids who prefer video-based learning over sitting on a computer reading through pages of documents.

5. They Are Always Adding New Options

Truly. SchoolhouseTeachers.com has grown from just a few classes in 2012 to more than 450 options for kids in pre k through 12. You can easily use this all-in-one homeschool curriculum for all of your kids – it has all of the core classes you need plus more electives than you can probably manage.

Or, you can simply fill a gap.

Maybe you need some grammar help. With Daily Grammar Lessons you can quickly practice grammar skills.

Maybe your child needs a math review before moving on to the next level. Check out these options. We found exactly what we needed to make sure the kids were ready to move on to the next level here with easy daily review lessons!

Perhaps your child has a passion for music. There are 13 courses to choose from.

Or you want to ensure your child can utilize technology.

And, possibly, you aren’t sure what you are looking for until something like Business Plan Creation, Filmmaking, or Introduction to Architecture pops up.

By always upgrading and updating, adding in new options, SchoolhouseTeachers.com works hard to ensure everything you need to fully educate your whole family is in one easy place!

Of course, there are more than 5 reasons we love SchoolhouseTeachers.com…

…But, I can’t really name them all in just one post. What I can do, is tell you that this curriculum, which we were first introduced to for the purposes of a review, has seamlessly become a core curriculum in our homeschool. It’s the place we check first when we need something new, different, or to replace something that is no longer working.

And even though it is an online curriculum, it fits pretty well in our daily routine because I have learned that it’s important for me to adapt our homeschool to fit the needs of my children, not my idea of what a homeschool looks like.

It’s a good thing I learned this too because our annual subscription to SchoolhouseTeachers.com means my kids can change electives on a whim. They can change the direction of their education based on a new interest. And we can adapt our homeschool to better fit their needs without over-extending my homeschool budget because every course offered on the site is included.
