Freedom Homeschooling
Free OpenStax Textbooks

Free Textbooks
Textbooks can be costly, but homeschooling through high school doesn’t have to break the bank. OpenStax offers free downloadable textbooks. While the textbooks are intended for college students, many of the courses offered could be completed by motivated high school students. These free textbooks are high-quality, peer-reviewed, and frequently updated to ensure that the material is current and accurate.
Instructor Materials
In addition to the student textbook, each course also has numerous instructor resources, including an instructor guide, answer guide, PowerPoint presentations, and more. To access these instructor materials, you’ll need to sign up for a free account. To keep these materials secure, OpenStax requires that anyone requesting access verify that they are an instructor or staff. Fortunately, they do allow home educators to access the instructor materials! To sign up, you will need to submit some type of document or other proof that you are a home educator. Some examples of proof you may submit are:
- Link to your homeschool website
- Link to a website for a homeschool collective or other organization that mentions you
- Letter from your state certifying you as a homeschool teacher
- Letter from your cover school or other homeschool organization you are affiliated with
- Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) membership card
If you have questions about what types of documentation OpenStax will accept, contact their customer service department.

Hi,
I would like to read your textbooks.
Thank you
Good Day
I would like to make an enquiry on how to open or start a home schooling.
How can I become an associate of Freedom Homeschooling.
I am in South Africa.
Your assistance in this regard is much appreciated.
I’m sorry, we are in the United States, and I don’t have information about homeschooling in South Africa. However, anyone is welcome to use the free curriculum listed on our website.
