Curriculum
One of the benefits of homeschooling is the ability to choose curriculum and academic levels that meet your child’s learning needs. As part of the Freedom Academy family, we work with you to develop an academic plan specific to your child. As registered homeschoolers, each family is responsible for purchasing their child's curriculum. Please clearly write your child's first and last name on each book prior to bringing it to curriculum drop-off at the beginning of the year.
