I am a big fan of the Ron Paul Curriculum. It does not matter if you like the guy or not but the curriculum is amazing. It is all about Math, Science, Math, History, Technology, Math, Computer Science, more Math, How to invest in the stock market, how to setup and operate a business. Really too much to mention here. It's really great. The average kid who completes this skips the first 2 years of college. Far far far ahead of publicly educated kids. You have to work with them the first couple years but after that they are expected to do it on their own. The older kids mentor the younger kids. One day your kid will be the mentor to younger kids. They teach you how to be an adult and do adult shit. Go check it out.

Agree with @MrFadedGlory and @CTCZ. After trying a few options, we embraced the Ron Paul Curriculum as our core homeschool foundation. It offers an outstanding self directed, autonomous, libertarian oriented, essay-centric, real world applicable skill-set platform. We supplemented with a subscriptions to Tom Woods Liberty Classroom, Wondrium, Rosetta Stone, Babble and Competitive BJJ.

Like everything else in this parental life, tinkering and tailoring a winning formula with and for your kiddos is the best way to ensure they receive the education they need and deserve. Plus, it's one helluva rewarding adventure!

Have fun and best of luck!

Abeka Christian Homeschooling curriculum. They've been doing it since 1972, it's awesome. I don't think it's very cheap, but it's worth it. I was homeschooled up till 4th grade at which point I went to a private school which based most of its curriculum on Abeka and but added from others. Today that school is one of the top in the state. I've no idea if they still use Abeka, I would assume they do, but I have family members whose kids go there, it's top tier in almost everything.

Learning to read: Spalding's The Writing Road to Reading and the associated phonogram flashcards

Math: Saxon Math, after you teach them basic counting, numbering, and additon/subtraction (my wife is using some little workbooks with our younger ones that I can't remember the name of), the Saxon books with go all the way up through Calculus and Physics with trig and geometry throughout.

Science: Exploring Creation with 'insert field of study' by Jay Wile. He has texts and lab kits for biology, chemistry, human anatomy, geology, whatever. Was weak on organic chemistry and electronics.

Grammar: the Easy Grammar series

Logic: Introductory and Intermediate Logic by James Nance

That's practically all you need besides drilling spelling and vocabulary and endless reading and reporting on whatever topic you want them to learn. Don't overcomplicate it. This is the overall curriculum my mom gave me. The great majority of it is self-taught. It works, my mommy says I'm a genius. This will have them doing things generally at or above sophomore college level by the time they're done with high school.

Find material at Exodus Books, Canon Press, etc.

Edit: I'm traveling right now but ping me next week and I'll post pics of the books with ISBNs if you want

Grant Cardone uses 10x Kids University, though I’m not sure how woke it is, he has a young or pre-teen daughter in college. She was featured on some interview and said each grades level only takes a few months.
