How to Build your Own Homeschool Curriculum

I have to admit that given an unlimited budget, I would buy all.the.books. There are many homeschool curriculum companies that we have used and loved and many more that I would like to try.

However, I don’t have an unlimited budget and not every curriculum works for us and we really do best when we can follow delight-directed learning and change resources on a regular basis. We’re too freewheeling and rabbit-trail-following to stick to just one set curriculum forever.

When I say “build your own homeschool curriculum,” I don’t mean that you have to make everything from scratch, though you certainly can do that. In this case, I mean piecing together different resources to find what works best for your children and their learning styles.

Using digital homeschool curriculum is a simple way to do this for several reasons:

  1. It’s usually more affordable.
  2. It’s available instantly.
  3. It doesn’t take up room on your shelves.
  4. You can mix and match anything you want easily.

Personally, I tend to watch for bundle sales to get a bunch of resources at once at a low price. This is quick and easy and leaves me with no guilt on overspending or switching out resources on a regular basis.

Once you have your goals in mind, choosing your resources will become much easier.
