I had the awesome opportunity to review the newly upgraded SchoolhouseTeachers.com and boy we were not disappointed. We reviewed their Yearly Membership which gives access to ALL grade levels no matter how many students you have in your home for a full year. This program is definitely cost effective and will not disappoint you in the content and quality available to your family.
SchoolhouseTeachers.com is an online curriculum site that allows you access to a plethora of material that includes videos, streaming media, access to World Book eBook Library with included links to lessons, and downloadable and printable pdf files and lessons. You can browse courses by subject or by grade. Courses by subject include Art, Bible, Computer/Technology, Drama/Speech, Electives, Foreign Languages (including Spanish, Latin, ASL, French, Hebrew and Latvium), Geography, History, Language Arts, Math, Music, Science, and Social Studies. There is even a Unit Study option.
Various resources include:
- Full Pre-K curriculum
- Curriculum for all grades Pre-K to 12th grade listed by subject OR grade level
- Family courses (bible, foreign languages, language arts, music and more)
- Seasonal classes (holidays and seasons)

- Scope and Sequence
- Special Needs
- Certificate library

- Many more!
I was encouraged by the ease of use of the site and the video tutorials that help you with certain areas. If you still can't find what you need you have access to online help via chat or phone. Their customer service is excellent and they are more than willing to help you in any way they can to explain things or show you what to do and where to go to plan the curriculum you need for your family.
The best part of the curriculum is that is it so flexible. They have so much to offer you will be hard pressed to not find what you need. No matter what type of learner you have, they have an option available. We have especially enjoyed some of the Charlotte Mason geared resources. I am currently using the Charolotte Mason based spelling curriculum with my son and it is going so much better than other methods we have tried. It keeps him engaged and he is moving forward without getting stalled on a redundant method.
My daughter has enjoyed many of the pre-K activities and she likes the Bedbug Bible Gang videos that cover stories of the bible in a fun and entertaining way. It's a series of 25 videos that are each approximately 23 minutes long and cover 75 different adventures. I have chosen the Preschool Playground option for her that includes a full pre-K curriculum. Charlie Church Mouse and Donkey Ollie are a couple of the other video series available. Subjects include Bible, Language Arts, Numbers, Patterns, Cognitive Skills, Manners and Healthy Habits, Arts, Crafts, Music, Science, Motor Skills, and Social Studies. They even have a Sensory Learning for Toddlers section. There is more than enough to choose from for you to customize your child's learning experience to fit their own personal learning style.
I can definitely say that this curriculum is for us. It is very user friendly, flexible, the kids like it and there are endless possibilites. I LOVE how it really is a one size fits all type deal. For one price you can cover the whole family. If something isn't working well, there are other options without actually having to reinvest in an entirely new curriculum. We give it a thumbs up!
The BEST part?! They are running a sale until January 15. An annual membership is currently $139 but you will only pay $90 if you use the code CHRISTMASYEAR by January 15, 2017. If you choose the monthly option use the code CHRISTMAS to get it for $9.95 per month. The price on annual and monthly memberships is going up soon so this will be even more of a savings. Don't miss out. Get your membership started today before the deal is gone.
