When I was a new homeschooler, I remember being pulled this way and that by each new shiny curriculum and method. Years ago, a veteran homeschool mother mentioned a curriculum to me, and I naively responded: “Is that a living books curriculum? I am planning to only use those.” Well, two neurodivergent kiddos later (currently a 2nd and 8th grader), I have put aside my idealism and now strongly believe that the best homeschooling method is the method that works best for the homeschooling parents and their kids! I have always been an “eclectic homeschooler” pulling ideas and curriculums from each of the major homeschooling approaches.


One of the reasons I created the Orthodox Christian Morning Time Curriculum the way that I did was so that it could easily be added on to any curriculum, whether a traditional all-in-one curriculum, Charlotte Mason style or even online coursework. Right now, there is not much in the way of academic Orthodox Christian homeschool curriculum available, so my hope is that the Orthodox Christian Morning Time Curriculum can help families to add an Orthodox Christian element to their schooling more easily, whichever curriculum they use.
