8th / 9th Grade Homeschool Pieced-together Curriculum Books, You don't need a "box" to succeed!

Published 2023-07-23

We are eclectic homeschoolers. These are our "everyday" books & workbooks for our CORE subjects, but learning is always enhanced with additional books, materials, online resources, documentaries, hands-on activities (experiments, cooking, etc.) and - of course - field trips! We have never used a "box." We piece together our own materials. We test our daughter every year and make sure that she is at or above grade level at all times. ALL BOOKS ARE LISTED BELOW.
