Social Studies
Teaching social studies at home is like taking your kids on a world tour—minus the jet lag, souvenir bills, and lost luggage. One minute you’re in ancient Egypt building pyramids out of sugar cubes, and the next you’re debating the Constitution over chicken nuggets. Social studies covers everything from geography and government to history and culture, which means you get to say things like, “Yes, learning about medieval knights is school today.”
Homeschooling this subject lets you connect the dots between the past and present, while possibly reenacting the Boston Tea Party in your bathtub. It’s messy, meaningful, and surprisingly fun (especially if someone agrees to wear the powdered wig).

Our Favorites
Our favorite sites are easy to spot because they’re marked by the number of stars at the beginning of each curriculum description. If you see five stars, you know it’s a hit in our house and probably comes with fewer groans and more “Hey, this is fun!” comments from the kids. It’s a handy way to tell at a glance which lessons have earned a gold star (or five) for keeping everyone engaged and (mostly) smiling.
