There is a lot of homeschool curriculum out there, a lot of religious curriculum making it difficult at times to pick out the secular homeschool curriculum from the religious. I wanted to put together a list of secular curriculum that we can all use to find the perfect materials to educate our children.

List of Secular Curriculum
*This post may contain affiliate links, see my disclosure policy for more information.*
My focus of course also being those that are available to Canadians, because that is where I reside, and if you thought it was hard to find secular curriculum in general, try finding secular homeschool curriculum that isn’t American.
I am trying to break it down within all-in-one curriculum, and then into different subjects. I will also try my best to keep this up to date, adding or removing as need be.
Buying Options:
These links lead directly to the publisher or owner’s website. These may be the best prices you can find. However, I would urge you to research titles thoroughly, and when you have made your decision check for programs available through Homeschool Buyers Co-op and for homeschool curriculum books on Amazon to find deals.
