So my search began a few weeks ago. Through prayer & reflection, I knew I needed to look for something different, something with a little more structure. As I shared on the Homeschool Compass page, I want plans & structure, but I also need a curriculum that is flexible and uses natural methods where subjects are connected instead of compartmentalized. Also it's important that it be engaging. There should be something fun to look forward to everyday.
I searched around and compiled a list of possibilities. If you would like to see that list, you can see the Pintrest Board I compiled here. After thoroughly comparing all these choices, I have come to a clear decision. Next year we will be using (drumroooooollllllll)

I chose this curriculum basically because it checked all the boxes for me! I simply think I will love everything about it! If you identify with our Homeschool Compass, I highly suggest you download the samples and check it out!
Ah, the peace of making a decision and knowing it is right.
We just started with POE (although my oldest is just 7)! We finished our first week and LOVED it! It's a perfect blend of structure and flexibility!
ReplyDeleteHow Exciting! We are waiting until the Fall. I have the whole curriculum on my shelf. We are really excited. Myself more than my daughter i think! ;)
DeleteI have wondered about Trail Guide. Enjoy the unpacking and sifting of books! FUN!!
