Free 6th Grade Christian Homeschool Curriculum

Are you looking for free 6th grade homeschool curriculum? At Freedom Homeschooling, we list several free all-in-one-curriculum programs. These programs include every subject your 6th grader will need. Homeschoolers often choose all-in-one programs because of the simplicity they provide. They take care of the planning and curriculum selection for you.

However, many homeschoolers, including myself, prefer to choose a separate curriculum for each subject. This allows us to customize our children’s education, choosing materials that fit their learning styles and individual needs in each subject area. Also, I’ve always enjoyed the variety that a more eclectic approach provides. Using the same approach and materials for every subject can become monotonous for some students.

If you’d like to piece together your own customized free 6th grade homeschool curriculum, visit Freedom Homeschooling’s homepage, and choose a subject area to explore from the menu. On that subject’s page, you will find a list of links to free curriculum resources.

Below, I’ve provided a sample free 6th grade Christian curriculum. This sample curriculum is intended to give you an idea of what a free 6th grade homeschool curriculum could look like. Feel free to make substitutions as needed. If you have other children, you may prefer to study some subjects, like Bible, history, and science, together as a family. Additionally, at the end of this post, you’ll find a Free Printable Curriculum Plan.

Language Arts, Geography, and Art

The Good & the Beautiful (TGTB) Language Arts Level 6 covers reading, writing, spelling, literature, grammar, punctuation, art, and geography in one downloadable course. The course download includes the Course Book Part 1, Course Book Part 2, and Answer Key. It also includes the books Eighty Pesos, Elizabeth Kenny, Kudlu, The Journals of June Jefferson, The Windmill’s Secret, and Where Eagles Soar. TGTB recommends using their free placement test to determine if Level 6 is the right level for your child.

For additional reading, choose books from our 6th Grade Reading List or TGTB’s Book List. You should be able to find many of these books at your local library. Or, if you prefer, choose one of these Free 6th Grade Readers.

Math

MasterMath teaches middle school math through video-based lessons. Each lesson includes a video lecture, printable worksheets, an online quiz, and links to other websites for practice and further discussion of the lesson’s concept. To complete this math curriculum, the parent will need to add additional worksheets or online practice for each concept. While the author recommends an IXL math subscription, IXL is not free. Instead, you can print free worksheets at Dad’s Worksheets or have your child practice online at Khan Academy. For more information on using MasterMath, be sure to read their instructions for homeschoolers. Keep in mind that if your child plans to take Algebra I in 8th grade, rather than 9th, they’ll need to work through MasterMath’s middle school curriculum at a quicker pace.

Science

In Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool’s Zoology course, your child will learn about the main branches of the animal kingdom. They will study animal habitats, behaviors, diets, and adaptations. They will also study endangered species, classification, mimicry, camouflage, ecosystems, and food webs. The course uses readings, videos, and a variety of online activities. The material is scheduled in 180 daily lessons. Easy Peasy offers this course at two levels. Your 6th grader will be in the upper level, which is designed for 5th through 8th graders.

History

In Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool’s Early American History course, your child will study American history from the early explorers through the Civil War. Some of the topics covered are explorers, early settlers, Daniel Boone, the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, the Constitution, the American government, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Plains Indians, Lewis and Clark, the War of 1812, Harriet Tubman, slavery, Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, and more. The course is made up of a variety of online materials. Easy Peasy offers this course at two levels. Your 6th grader will be in the upper level, which is designed for 5th through 8th grade. The material is scheduled in 180 daily lessons.

Music

In Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool’s Music – Early American course, your child will listen to both popular folk music of various historical periods and classical music of many great composers. The music of Native Americans and Negro spirituals is also covered. Additionally, your child will learn about music theory, including staff, clef, note identification, note and rest duration, and scales. He or she will also learn about the brass family of instruments. This music course coincides with Easy Peasy’s Early American History course. The material is scheduled in 36 once-a-week lessons.

Bible

Journey Everyday provides daily Bible passages for your child to read or listen to seven days a week. Many passages also have accompanying videos that provide background information, a song, or a prayer. Have your child journal about each day’s passage. Consider using one of these journaling methods. Following the website’s reading plan will take a student through the entire Bible in about 22 months, so this reading plan is also included in our 7th grade curriculum guide. If Journey Everyday isn’t a fit for your family, check out Free Bible Curriculum for other options.

Life Skills

Discovery K12’s Home Economics Course covers a different skill each week for 36 weeks. It includes kitchen safety, cooking, outdoor grilling, sewing, time management, organization, habit-building, event planning, gardening, hobbies, and much more. If a week’s topic isn’t applicable to your child or family, feel free to substitute another life skill that week. You could substitute Skill Trek’s free Skill of the Week or get ideas from the Dad, How Do I? YouTube channel. The channel has videos covering car maintenance, home repairs, tool basics, lawn care, cooking, and more.

Computer Skills

Google’s Applied Digital Skills platform provides video-based lessons covering a wide variety of computer skills. This year, I would focus on learning Google Workspace tools. If your child doesn’t have much experience with Google Workspace, start with the Google Workspace for Beginners course. This course covers Google Search, Calendar, Docs, Drive, Sheets, Meet, and Gmail. Next, move on to Google Workspace Training, which covers Google Docs, Drives, Sheets, Slides, and Gmail in more depth. Alternatively, if your family doesn’t use Google tools, you can choose another computer curriculum that fits your needs from our Free Technology Curriculum page.

If your child doesn’t know how to type yet or needs more practice, use Typing.com. This website teaches touch typing through interactive lessons. Your child may start at the beginner, intermediate, or advanced level. The program tracks progress and provides additional lessons for frequently missed keys.

Physical Education and Health

Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool’s PE/Health: Strong & Healthy course covers proper nutrition and safety, including fire safety and the dangers of drug and alcohol use. Your child will develop their strength and endurance while learning the proper way to exercise. He or she will also complete soccer and volleyball drills. Easy Peasy offers this course at two levels. Your 6th grader will be in the upper level, which is designed for 5th through 8th grade. The material is scheduled in 36 weekly lessons.
