Free Online Homeschool

September 5, 2017 by Imaan No Comments

So, I am quite the scatter-brained mum who tries to pursue one too many hobbies/online courses. Inevitably, something suffers … my house will start looking like a perfect candidate for “How Clean Is Your House?” and while there is clean laundry, finding particular items becomes a mad scavenger hunt because it’s in a gargantuan unfolded pile.

Marz is getting exam help at a tuition centre in the evenings (thank God… because I cannot wrap my head around Physics and Chemistry!), but Bear and Peep need a little more structure in their days. With the cleaning and cooking I always have yet to do, lesson planning has become a frustrating exercise. I always want to do more for them and end up getting bogged down by the nitty gritties. So what happens? I don’t even get to spend time on the basics much less get to the delectable feast (sorry Charlotte Mason!).

I was despairing over this when I chanced upon this resource – DISCOVERY K-12. This is an online homeschool platform and curriculum for pre-k to 12th grade. There are 7 standard courses: Language Arts, Reading/Literature, Math, Science, History/Social Studies, Visual/Performing Arts, and Physical Education. There are daily assignments, logs, book lists … in short, everything you need to homeschool!

Their school term starts TOMORROW! Timely or what? I feel like I have been thrown a lifesaver! And you know what else? It is FREE. I kid you not, people, IT IS F.R.E.E!

So, if you need a spine for your homeschool or a springboard, this is a great resource. You can use it fully or to supplement. Check the site out by clicking the link below:

Homeschool for Free

July 24, 2011 by Imaan 9 Comments

My kids and I have been blessed with really wonderful homeschooling resources, alhamdulillah. My husband has always been supportive and hardly ever questions my purchases. *grin* A fellow homeschooler in Singapore also ran an online store and ordered all sorts of books and curricula which helped me save on what would have been exorbitant shipping charges. Best of all, I live close to a library in Singapore and in Pakistan, am able to find loads of books going for a song at the second-hand bookstores.

I’ve often wondered what would happen if I weren’t able to afford books and curriculum packages. It’s made me a bit of a hoarder, I admit! Everytime I find study materials or curricula for free, I download and save… just in case! I still prefer to have my books on hand – it is so much more convenient than having to research, save, print and bind material myself, but it is good to know that it IS possible to homeschool for free if one is strapped for cash.
