In our home, we lean toward the “Charlotte Mason Method” of homeschooling, which is rich in literature, history, languages, nature study, art and music appreciation, handicrafts — things that our family loves and thrives on.
Over the years (since its inception, actually), we have loosely followed the Ambleside Online Curriculum.
Below is the “Gratehouse Homeschool Master Plan” from 2010, before I had two high-schoolers. Things have looked much differently lately, but this will give you an idea of what we were working on. There were other things added in throughout the year (and, no, we didn’t get to everything on this list!). 🙂
I apologize that the formatting issues…
