As a member of the Homeschool Review Crew, I receive an Ultimate Membership (aff link) to SchoolhouseTeachers.com (aff link) a division of The Old Schoolhouse® for my family for the year. This is always one of my favorite perks of being on the Crew because SchoolhouseTeachers.com (aff link) has so many helpful courses and resources on this website.
What is SchoolhouseTeachers.com?
I will also add that SchoolhouseTeachers.com (aff link) is growing all the time! Their website, which was launched in 2012 with eleven courses, now offers 400+ courses designed by 230+ caring folk that serve over 9,000 families and new things are being offered all the time.
What is NEW at SchoolhouseTeachers.com?
Curriculum boxes!
These are not literal boxes. They are even better. They're virtual boxes of homeschool curriculum and electives that give you instant access to materials and take the guesswork out of planning curriculum for every grade.
Around the time when many public and private schools were going online due to the pandemic, SchoolhouseTeachers.com (aff link) put together these "boxes" to help new homeschoolers find their footing quickly and easily. The "boxes" have since proved to help veteran homechoolers, too, by reducing planning time and creating ease and independence for parents and students alike.

The 9th through 12th grade school boxes, like all SchoolhouseTeachers.com (aff link) course materials, offer Christian, self-paced online materials. They include all of the core courses necessary for graduation in one easy place, and also leave room for flexibility and electives.
The online materials included in the "box" include downloadable .pdf files, streaming videos, and other resources and cater to an array of learning styles.
Because the materials are online, there is no physical box, no need to find more bins and bookcases to store materials in your home, no shipping cost, and no delay while waiting for materials to arrive. Rather, with your Ultimate Membership (aff link) , you get instant access to:
- a curriculum guide for each subject that correlates objectives with the SchoolhouseTeachers.com (aff link) Scope & Sequence
- weekly checklists to keep you and your child on track
- daily checklists that guide you and your student through each activity
- direct links to the SchoolhouseTeachers.com (aff link) courses and resources you need by the week
- a list of additional suggested materials for the year - like note paper and art supplies and - listed in one place,
- links to additional SchoolhouseTeachers.com (aff link) resources for those days your kids want to spend more time on a topic they love.
Better still, all of these things can be mixed and matched with other courses across different grade levels and subjects using Focused Learning Centers (aff link) in order to customize your high schooler's education.
So, whether you are a brand new homeschoolers or a seasoned veteran, you can easily get your high schooler going strong with studies.
Your younger children won't be left out either. Included in your membership is access to all of the elementary and middle school "boxes" and Pre-K and Parent Boxes are coming soon.
Also coming this year are Korean, Calculus, Psychology, and an updated Microsoft course.

What have we been using?
This year, when my eldest was looking for a straightforward, online video option for studying high school chemistry, we took a quick look under the subject tab at SchoolhouseTeachers.com (aff link) and found a 25-week, video-based Advanced Chemistry class which he decided to take.
In the pre-recorded classes I have listened in on, it has become obvious to me that the teacher Dr. Todd C. Wood has a passion for science and teaches it in a way my son can learn from.
Now, my son is self-pacing through each session's 45-90 minute video recording and accompanying practice exercises, worksheets, tests, supplemental readings, and answer keys, doing small amounts some days and larger amounts other days.
Being able to stop and start as attention and life demand is convenient and helpful for my son. Knowing he can pick right back up where he left off with me and that a clear path lays ahead is helpful for me.
This is what he has to say about the course so far:
My son - even if he is in a stage where he is eschewing most things faith-based - is choosing to use the course, and the layout, ease of access, and knowledge imparted by the course all work for both of us.
This is what he has to say about the course so far:
I chose to take this course because I need a Chemistry credit to graduate and this course is easily accessible online with a video component.
I like the informal feeling that some of videos had, giving one a feeling of someone sitting in on a conversation rather than taking a class. I dislike the Christian influence, but understand that since it is a Christian curriculum.
The teacher speaks clearly, is easy to understand and follow and is not completely dry like some teachers in other courses I have taken elsewhere.
The printables make it easy to move through the course and prove my learning to Mom. The course gets the job done.
So as you can see, the course is a win for us right now.
My son - even if he is in a stage where he is eschewing most things faith-based - is choosing to use the course, and the layout, ease of access, and knowledge imparted by the course all work for both of us.
