Freedom Homeschooling is a website that connects parents with resources and information to help them educate their children confidently and affordably. The main feature of the website is our free curriculum directory, which lists free curriculum for every grade and all subjects.

Our site also includes a blog where you’ll find homeschooling tips and encouragement, curriculum guides, free unit studies, book lists, and much more. Additionally, we offer a free Letter of the Week preschool curriculum.

You can read reviews of Freedom Homeschooling as a whole and reviews of our Letter of the Week preschool curriculum at Cathy Duffy Reviews. For additional reviews, check us out on Trustpilot.

Please note: Freedom Homeschooling is not a school or homeschool program.

Freedom Homeschooling provides a directory of free homeschool curriculum. This directory includes curriculum for every grade level (Pre-K through 12th) and all the standard subjects, plus many electives. To get started, from the homepage menu, choose a subject. Then, on that subject’s page, you will find a list of links to free curriculum resources available from various sources. Next, choose a link and follow the instructions on that resource’s website.

You may also like to explore our blog posts to find supplemental materials, unit studies, curriculum guides, book lists, and more.

It does not cost anything to use Freedom Homeschooling. All of the curriculum accessed from the subjects menu on the homepage is free. Of course, there will be some expenses, such as pencils, paper, and other supplies. However, these are usually minimal. For more information about homeschooling for free, please see these pages:

• How Can Homeschool Curriculum Be Free?
• I Can’t Use Free Curriculum

While all of the curriculum accessed from the subjects menu is free, our blog posts do occasionally mention paid resources.

No. Freedom Homeschooling is not a school or homeschool program, so no registration, enrollment, or sign up is required. Our site is simply a directory of free homeschool curriculum available online from various sources.

No, Freedom Homeschooling is not an accredited program. Our website provides a directory of free homeschool curriculum available online from various sources. Curriculum is never accredited. Accrediting agencies only offer accreditation to institutions, such as public and private schools, virtual schools, distance learning programs, vocational schools, colleges, and universities. For more information about how accreditation relates to homeschooling, please read the following articles:

• What is Accreditation? Should My Homeschool Be Accredited?
• Is Your Curriculum Accredited? Does It Matter?

The creator of Freedom Homeschooling is a Christian. However, Freedom Homeschooling lists a large variety of both secular and Christian curriculum. On our curriculum pages, all of the Christian resources are labeled with a “C.” Any resource not labeled as Christian is either secular or neutral and does not teach religious beliefs unless otherwise noted. Please be aware that this system of labeling resources with a “C” has only been implemented on the free curriculum pages of Freedom Homeschooling and not in our blog posts.

We are located in the United States. Yes, residents of other countries are welcome to use the curriculum found on our website. Families all over the world use Freedom Homeschooling. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that the curriculum you use meets any legal requirements of your country. Also, keep in mind that most of the curriculum on our website was created with American students in mind, so you may need to make some adjustments or add other resources to meet your family’s needs. Additionally, all grade-level recommendations are based on typical expectations within the U.S. These may differ for your country.

We’re sorry, but we aren’t able to purchase textbooks, workbooks, books, or other physical materials and mail them to families. Our website does list many printable curriculum options that your family can print and then use offline.

No, we are not a school, so we are unable to provide these services. Unless you homeschool through an umbrella school, cover school, or other organization that provides these services, you will be responsible for maintaining records, creating report cards and transcripts, and issuing your child’s diploma. There are many templates available online that you can use to create professional-looking documents. If you have questions about record keeping or the process for issuing a homeschool diploma in your state, please contact your state homeschool organization for help.

We are also unable to produce proof of enrollment documents or letters. As Freedom Homeschooling is not a school, we have no record of your student(s) or means to verify that they are being educated at home.

If your child needs a letter of recommendation for a college application, scholarship, employment, or other purpose, please request it from someone who knows your child personally. This could be a coach, extracurricular instructor, co-op teacher, employer, pastor, family friend, etc. As we do not know your child, we are not able to write a letter of recommendation for him or her.

Freedom Homeschooling is not, in most cases, your curriculum. Rather, it’s a website used to find curriculum available from and created by 3rd-party sources. When asked on a form about the curriculum you use, list the specific curriculum you use for each subject. For example, you would list Khan Academy, Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool, The Good and the Beautiful, Under the Home, or whichever curriculum(s) you have chosen to use in your homeschool, rather than Freedom Homeschooling.

The only exceptions are Freedom Homeschooling’s Letter of the Week Preschool Curriculum and some holiday unit studies that we created. While it is unlikely you will ever be asked to report your preschool curriculum or supplemental unit studies, if you are, you may list “Freedom Homeschooling’s Letter of the Week Preschool Curriculum” or “Freedom Homeschooling’s holiday unit studies” on the form.

Please note: If you are asked to submit your curriculum or other information to your child’s previous school or to your school district, please verify that this information is legally required in your state before doing so. If you have questions about the legal requirements in your state, please contact your state homeschool organization.

No, Freedom Homeschooling is not a school or homeschool program, and you may not use “Freedom Homeschooling” as the name of your homeschool. Usually, parents name their own homeschool. However, in cases where a family is homeschooling through a cover school, umbrella school, or a similar organization, they often use that school’s name. But please verify this with your cover/umbrella school before using their name.

It is extremely important that you use either the name you have given your homeschool or the name of your cover/umbrella school (if permitted), and not “Freedom Homeschooling,” on all forms and paperwork. This includes school enrollment forms, college applications, scholarship applications, job applications, resumes, etc. If you use “Freedom Homeschooling” and we are contacted for transcripts or enrollment verification, we will have to explain that we are not a school and have no record of the student.

Yes, unless laws in your state say otherwise, homeschoolers are usually free to use any curriculum they choose, including options listed on our website. Some states have laws governing what counts as a high school credit, such as minimum-hour requirements, but many leave it entirely up to parents to decide. For clarification on what can count as a high school credit in your state, please contact your state homeschool organization.

Yes. Our website lists many different curriculum options for each subject area. With so many options, you will likely find something that works for your child. Plus, one of the many benefits of homeschooling is that you can adapt any curriculum to fit your child’s unique needs. We have been able to find a small assortment of free curriculum options designed specifically for special needs and struggling learners. Those options are listed in our Free Curriculum for Special Needs Homeschooling post. 

This varies widely by state. Some states have few or no homeschool regulations and may not even require notification of intent to homeschool. Others have strict regulations that can include notification, specific required courses, a minimum number of days or hours of instruction required, standardized testing, portfolio review, and more. It is very important that you familiarize yourself with your state’s homeschool laws. You can usually find these laws on the website of your state department of education or school district. If you have questions about homeschool laws, please contact your state’s homeschool organization for assistance. Freedom Homeschooling cannot provide information on your state’s homeschool laws or give legal advice.

Tips to Ease the Transitions from Public School to Homeschool offers advice to families making the switch to home education.

The best curriculum is whatever works best for your family. I suggest researching various homeschooling methods and learning styles and reading curriculum reviews. Also, keep each child’s interests, strengths, and weaknesses in mind. For more on choosing curriculum, please see What Curriculum Should I Use?. We apologize, but Freedom Homeschooling cannot make curriculum recommendations.

Unless you live in a state with specific requirements for homeschoolers, this is entirely up to you. However, if you are looking for a course of study to use as a guide, see What Should I Be Teaching? for more information.

Yes, every state in the United States allows homeschooled students to graduate and earn a high school diploma. Some states have laws about what constitutes a high school credit, as well as what courses and how many credits are required for graduation. However, many states leave the graduation requirements entirely up to the parents. Please contact your state homeschool organization for more information about your state’s graduation requirements.

Yes, homeschool graduates in every state can and do enroll in college and universities without issue. Be sure to check with any colleges or universities your child may be interested in attending to learn about their admission requirements and process. Many require that students have completed certain high school courses, so it’s important to know which ones in advance. Most also require the ACT or SAT test. Even if these tests aren’t an admission requirement, they may still be needed to apply for scholarships.

There are many organizations and groups offering support and assistance to families homeschooling a child with special needs. Several of them are listed in our Homeschooling Special Needs: Resources and Support page.
