Homeschool Curriculum

Our homeschooling program provides families with the opportunity to check out curriculum throughout the school year, and the Curriculum Request Form becomes available in mid-February. Requests are fulfilled in the order they are received, and while we strive to meet all requests as submitted, high demand may lead to some items being unavailable. To assist families in making informed decisions, they are welcome to preview the curriculum before finalizing their selection.

The timeline for the curriculum process unfolds as follows: In February, the Curriculum Request Form opens for families to indicate their preferences. In May, families who currently have curriculum checked out for the school year are required to either return it or renew it. Subsequently, families who completed the Request Form can pick up their selected curriculum. They have the option to keep it for the upcoming school year or return it when completed or if they wish to try a different curriculum. This structured timeline ensures a smooth and organized process for accessing and managing homeschooling curriculum resources.
