About
Here at Homeschool Curriculum Reviews, we’ve been in your shoes – starting off our homeschool journey with the best of intentions but not a whole lot of money. Trying to figure what material to buy was always tough because you couldn’t just walk to a bookstore to flip through sample copies.
We created this website to offer families objective information on educational products they want to use in their homeschool. We know how important it is to compare what publishers say about their products to what everyday homeschool parents have to say. We want you to know the good – the bad – and the meh about the homeschool curriculum you use.
Companies do not pay to have their products placed on our site. [Read more about the affiliate ads we do host on this site.] Best of all – Homeschool Curriculum Reviews is free to use! No user log-ins and no monthly fees to access the information you’re looking for.
