Why Use a Christian Online Homeschool Curriculum?
There are many reasons why a family may choose to use online Christian homeschool curriculum:
- Changing things up and adding one or two fun online courses.
- Interactive experiences or online discussion sessions that supplement or enhance the student’s print curriculum course
- Helping parents to provide a solid Christian education when time is extremely limited (such as when both parents work or there are major family/life changes happening)
- And more!
As with any resources, it’s important for parents to prayerfully consider what is appropriate for their unique child and situation, and be ready to adjust when needed. As you know, there are always pros and cons with screen time / technology solutions. In our family we limit it to occasional courses or for supplemental use. Just be thoughtful in considering the pros and cons before adding them to your homeschool, and you will do well!
All that said, once you have decided to look into online homeschool curriculum, it’s handy to have great Christian resources to choose from. I hope this list will be helpful to you!

You have done an excellent job of organizing and summarizing these online resources. Thanks so much!
There are so many courses to choose from I would hardly know where to begin. I would be interested in Art and Creative Writing, but would probably choose an upper level science course since I feel unequal to the task of teaching it. 🙂
Tauna:
I found Landmarks Freedom Baptist curriculum when I was at the end of my homeschool years. I bought the materials for my children’s last years in homeschool. They are a fantastic Curriculum and very reasonable The price can range from $35 for Pre-Kindergarten to $200 for the Kindergarten Curriculum. All the other courses are $45 for the whole year. They also have a area where you can download free courses to try the material out. They also offer discounts to Preachers, Missionaries/Evangelists, Military and to families who are having problems with financing (death in the family, loss of home and other Catastrophic Events but they only give 3 Hardship requests each year.
I would love for my son to take the Building Confident Writers course, among so many others!
