F.O.R.M. Curriculum Review: A Faith-Centered Homeschool PE Program for All Ages

We all want our kids to be healthy and active, right? Getting outside, running around, and playing in sports all have a big part to play in our family’s goals to make that happen. Among other things, it improves their moods, keeps illness at bay, and helps them focus!

But even in a family where the kids are active, having a solid homeschool physical education program has it’s definite benefits:

Staying active when the weather gets cold and rainy (which happens a lot here in Oregon!)
Keeping the teens who *aren’t* that keen on sports or outdoor activities active and healthy
Teaching skills and concepts like nutrition, proper form, and a biblical worldview of health and wellness

FORM curriculum review - Christian homeschool Physical Education program

This is a sponsored post for F.O.R.M. Curriculum by Glory to Glory Fitness. All opinions are my own.

All of these reasons and more are why F.O.R.M. Curriculum stood out to me. Our family has been enjoying using this Christian homeschool PE curriculum. It has become an excellent addition to our homeschool life (especially in winter).

What Is F.O.R.M. Curriculum?

F.O.R.M. is a homeschool physical education program that blends movement, training principles, journaling, nutrition, and spiritual reflection. Its goal is whole-person stewardship, caring well for the bodies God has given us while building lifelong habits rooted in a Christ-centered worldview.

F.O.R.M. Curriculum is designed to work well for:

Families with multiple ages
Teens needing homeschool PE for high school credit
Athletes already involved in sports
Homeschoolers who struggle with consistency, especially in winter

The program is biblically grounded and covers key areas of health and wellness, including fitness, nutrition, rest, and long-term habit formation.

One thing I especially appreciate as a homeschool mom is that F.O.R.M. offers a homeschool family license that includes:

Lifetime access for the entire family
Both Elementary and Middle/High School programs
A wide range of optional resources you can use if you like, depending on your season

For large families like ours, this makes the program both practical and cost-effective.

Why Physical Education Matters for Christian Homeschool Families

As Christian homeschoolers, we spend a lot of time discipling our children’s hearts and minds. But discipleship also includes teaching them to steward their bodies well.

Scripture reminds us:

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit…?” (1 Corinthians 6:19)

F.O.R.M. approaches physical education from this biblical perspective. In a culture that often swings between neglect of physical health and obsession with it, F.O.R.M. offers a balanced approach. The focus isn’t on performance or appearance, but on stewardship, discipline, and gratitude for how God designed our bodies to function.

(And honestly, this has been a good reminder for me, too.)

A “Gift to Yourself”

When I told my husband about the F.O.R.M. Curriculum and how we were planning to use it, he said it reminded him of something from his college experience at George Fox University. One of his professors required students to choose a meaningful physical activity each week and referred to it as “a gift to yourself.”

That perspective really stuck with me.

We’ve adopted the same mindset in our homeschool. Physical activity isn’t punishment or pressure—it’s a way to steward our health so we can serve God and others well. I love that F.O.R.M. helps us model and teach that mindset to our kids.

How F.O.R.M. Works in Practice

The F.O.R.M. Curriculu m is organized into 32 core modules, with additional optional modules and supplements for middle and high school students.

Each module follows the same general structure:

Academic instruction (video-based, with optional reading)
A Christian devotional (middle and high school)
Physical activity: warm-up, movement training, and cool-down
A “Fuel Challenge” that applies nutrition concepts in practical ways

Each module takes about one hour total, but families can schedule them at whatever pace works best.

Pacing Options

Completing one module per week (about an hour once a week) will finish the program in a year. This also fulfills a PE credit for your high schooler.
Complete in a semester or over the summer with faster pacing (this could work for a high schooler trying to cram in a credit, but I’m not sure it’s best otherwise).
Go at a more casual pace with one module every 2-4 weeks. You could split content up across multiple weeks like this, which could be a good option for elementary kids.

What’s the Difference Between Elementary and Middle/High School Editions?

As I said before, the homeschool license for the F.O.R.M. Curriculum gives you both the Elementary and Middle/High School editions for one lifetime purchase. But what’s the difference between the two?

The topics are the same in both editions, but there are some differences to note. The Middle/High School edition has the following:

Longer video lessons
Optional Teaching Slides
Guided Notes Options – Online fill-in notes or printable guided notes
Christian Devotional Guide – Scripture passage, reflection, and questions
Auto-graded assessments – multiple choice, longer assessments for high school

These additions really enhance the content to make it great for a full high school credit.

Optional Bonus Content

In addition to the core program of the F.O.R.M. Curriculum, there are some features that are optional but excellent additions to your Christian homeschool physical education course. You can add them to beef things up or drop them when life gets full.

Parent Lesson Guides – Lesson summaries, key takeaways, discussion questions, and action steps for deeper engagement and character training.
Sensitive Topics Modules (Middle/High School Only) – Four optional modules taught from a biblical worldview and include videos, guided notes, teaching slides, and lesson guides.
- Sexual engagement and reproduction
- Social health, conflict, and grief
- Substance abuse and addiction
- Emotional health
  (As always, review content before using it with your kids and consider it a great conversation-starter and supplemental resource for your discipleship. Downloading and reviewing the teacher lesson guide inside the module is an easy way to review the content.)
PE Games & Sports Units (Optional Add-On) – I have a few kids in our family who really love sports. We were happy to see these units! Can be used with a group or individually. (Basketball, soccer, volleyball, racquet sports, hockey, baseball, and more.)
Nutrition Challenges – Practical, hands-on ways to apply nutrition concepts. Often great as family challenges!

How We Used F.O.R.M. in Our Homeschool

F.O.R.M. has a LOT to offer, but don’t let that overwhelm you! Start with the basics and explore as you go, adding what seems like a good fit for your family and whatever season you’re in.

We dipped into the F.O.R.M. Curriculum by starting with my two high school girls. One of them needs the movement because she’s a just-let-me-read-all-day type 😉 , and the other one wanted some extra training to step up her fitness for basketball season.

We choose to do F.O.R.M. one day a week. It’s been the ideal pacing for us and I’ll continue that for my elementary kids, too. The girls do the lessons and then we go over the devotional together.

Here’s what I love about it:

They are expanding their knowledge of health and fitness, all with a biblical perspective.
It’s starting great family conversations! They bring up what they’re learning in casual conversation.
My older kids are earning a high school credit while learning life skills.
It’s EASY on me, not requiring any prep or extra time, other than a weekly spot on our schedule.
https://www.formeducation.org/homeschoolOur whole family is inspired and more motivated to add movement and healthy habits to our weeks. Everyone has been going for more walks, doing stretches, and talking about healthy food choices as we plan our meals. It’s a win!

Consider Making it a Family Activity

One thing I am considering is doing the lessons along with my kids and all of us doing the videos together, with just the older kids doing the additional content. Then we can have the discussions about the devotions together at the table. But we’ll see! My younger boys like the idea of having their own track, too, so they may just stick with that.
