Ultimate List of the BEST Secular Homeschooling Curriculum

Spread the love

As we are from the UK, I didn’t think I would need to write this post about secular homeschooling curriculum.

However, as we now live in South Florida, I was amazed to find how many homeschool curriculums were so religious. We recently attended a huge homeschool convention here in Florida, and were so surprised to find out it was so RELIGIOUS! Now, I actually got a lot from it, certainly the seminars, and we will go again. BUT nearly all of the homeschooling curriculum there was religious.

We are not against religion, like at all, however, we do not practice in any faith.

Most public schools in America are secular (non-religious), which we have now come to understand is why most people homeschool here for religious reasons.

Why Secular Homeschooling?

As we are not religious, finding a secular homeschooling curriculum was absolutely vital. But other reasons people are looking for a secular curriculum is for the following:

Not religious
The kids may return to public school or plan to go to University (not that you can’t if you follow a religious curriculum)
Focus on academics, a number of the Christian curriculums are outdated, and all focus on the Biblical perspective
Believe in the Big Bang, and not that the World was created by God
Are religious but are not Christian, so don’t want to have conflicting views in their homeschool curriculum
