We have tried various curricula over the years. The following are what we use and love.

Language Arts

AAR = All About Reading

WWE = Writing With Ease

SSS = Structure and Style for Students

TGTB = The Good and the Beautiful

10th	TGTB HS1 + Honors Book Studies and University-Ready Writing
11th	TGTB HS2 + Honors Book Studies and Introduction to Public Speaking
12th	TGTB HS3 + Honors Book Studies

SSS 3B is another year of Level B source texts. This is perfect for students who need another year of Level B before moving into Level C.

Fix It! Grammar Cards are now separate from the Student Book, and are reuseable through all six levels. One set per child is helpful.

Teaching Writing: Structure and Style is very helpful for the parent who has children using IEW for writing and grammar.

Linguistic Development through Poetry Memorization is wonderful for memorization. The Memory Mentor app is a perfect way to keep your memorization box digital.

University-Ready Writing is an add on after SSS Level C that prepares your teen for writing university applications and the essay portion of the ACT test. It's a great way to polish off high-school writing.

Introduction to Public Speaking is a 12 week course that leads to confident public speakers. We use this in high school.

History, Science, Geography, Literature, Music, Art

We use Family School for these subjects in most grades K-12. High School students pick their courses from the High School classes. I also like Berean Builders for middle and high school science.

Some other favorites:

Music: The Playful Piano - Shades of Sound (These are great for learning about composers and learning listening skills. They make a great stand-alone music history curriculum but are also a simple addition to any music curriculum. Hint - try Notre Dame free!)

Hoffman Academy: Free piano lessons for all ages. When you become a Premium member, you gain access to sheet music and other printable teaching tools, learning games, and practice tools. We are Premium members and love this method.

Science: The Good and the Beautiful Science Units (As an add on when we really want to get into a subject, or as an extra unit. Hint - try Marine Biology free!)

Our favorite curricula:

A Latter-day Saint based curriculum for children from preschool to high school. Online based with printed supplements. Transcript options available for high school. One room schoolhouse approach.
