Our Homeschool Curriculum

As our shell we are primarily using Catholic Schoolhouse because we love that they are a Catholic Classical Approach to education.  We will continue using Our Lady of Victory School's Religion books because of the same reason we have always loved their books: their Traditional Latin Mass focused, love the reprints of old Catholic School books, and also the use of trade books along with textbooks, giving it a more Liberal Arts approach.  As you will see, we do not solely use CSH as we change it up a bit as needed.  Here is our current Curriculum (2015-2016):

 As we enter our Seventh year of home education, I am finally feeling pretty good about all of our curriculum selections for our children.  We will have a first grader, second grader, fourth grader, fifth grader and a high school senior.  I don’t promise this won’t change one more time, because it might, and it’s okay.  Our High School senior will continue to use OLVS as well as introducing some online courses this year. But as of now, this is our 2015-2016 curriculum selection:
