One of main issues with traditional school, is that they made simple things, complicated. Kids do not need complicated to learn. Have you ever seen a kid with a cardboard box? My point exactly. Anyway, EP does a great job of keeping it simple. To me, she gives the foundation and it is up to you, the parent, to enhance if needed. No curriculum is going to provide all that you need because it was written by a human...even the curriculums in schools don't do this. This is why teachers supplement. I also find it to be a good mix of online and in person learning. Our school did far too much on computers. Kids need to hold pencils and use crayons...we do that with EP. I like how rich some of the content is...our kiddo is learning about volcanos in the first grade. I feel like the reading is more advanced than what was offered in our school, which isn't a bad thing. We had to scale it back...and I like that I get to personally influence reading now and hopefully make it positive. My only request is I wish she would add handwriting/cursive. We oversee all work and computer use. Our child knows they do not click that green mark until we have seen the work completed with our own eyes. This teaches honesty and accountability.

There are aspects of EP that I really like but also ones that are disappointing. As a previous reviewer wrote, the accountability aspect is difficult. When using the online site, it's difficult to track where my children are even with myepassignments. I have a large family and students in multiple grades so This can be overwhelming. I believe this is because EP uses multiple sites to bring together their curriculum.

I also find that the curriculum is based on a Eurocentric perspective and lacks diversity, as so many other homeschool curriculums do as well. They do teach certain cultural aspects such as history lessons on Egypt but I have yet to find a healthy dose of Hebrew (Black American, Caribbean, Continental) accomplishment and cultural influences throughout the world, past and present.

I appreciate that the curriculum is free and the information is highly educational but I wrestle with this curriculum because of the organization and lack of accountability. My children mainly use the site for their science curriculum now but other resources for their other subjects. All in all, I think EP is very helpful for homeschoolers who need a good curriculum at no costs.

Easy Peasy All-In-One-Homeschooling was a life saver at the time we found it! My children used exclusively EP for 2.5 years. My first grader was struggling reading and after only 8 days of their Learn to Read program we could tell a noticeable difference. The site uses outdated materials for their reading and free online resources to teach in order to keep the site completely free if you use the online version of the site (some subject are also available offline). When we first started using EP all the lessons were listed from days 1-180 on a single web page for each grade level, so it was sometimes confusing to find the lessons, but now that they have added My EP Assignments, it keeps track of exactly which lesson they are on in each class. My EP Assignments has made a WORLD of difference as far as user friendliness goes!

It cycles through 4 themes for Bible, Science and History on two different levels, one level for 1st-4th grade and one level for 5th-8th graders. I love this set-up because I have the ability to teach all of my children these subjects together as a family so they aren't spending the whole day on the computer. If I'm not able to, however, I still have the freedom to have them do the lessons on their own. So it's very flexible and adaptable in that way. I love that my children are able to do the lessons independently and that you can place your children in different levels for different subjects based on their needs.

We test our children with the CAT test each year to see their progress and my children tested levels above their grade in all of the Reading/English/Language Arts portions of the test and right on par for the math sections. I found the reading to be approximately two grade levels above where my children's public school peers were and the math to be a little behind where their peers were. She addresses this on her website, saying that while it starts off slow in the lower grades for math, she does catch them up to a comparable place by the time they reach 7th-8th grade to where their peers would be in public schools.

The bad part about using Easy Peasy is that it is difficult to know whether or not your children truly completed their work. My oldest son would skip the online activities that he didn't understand at times instead of asking for help understanding because he just wanted to be done with school. Since there's no way to know for sure if he completed the online activities because it redirects your children to different websites for different learning activities to teach the multiple concepts needed taught in each subject, it took about 2 months before I caught on that he was skipping the things he didn't want to do. We had to go back and re-work a lot of the problems and topics he didn't know because it took so long before I realized what was going on. You could get around this by training your children to take screenshots of each activity of their scores for completed activities, but for me it was very difficult to get my children to do this. After a long time of fighting with them trying to teach them to get me that proof, we finally switched to a different curriculum because I just couldn't stay on top of whether or not their independent work was actually being completed and I needed a solution with better accountability because I was about to return to work.

Prior to switching, we did begin using the workbooks, which are not free but they are very affordable, which are available for Math, Reading, & Language Arts and those were a life saver. Even after switching curricula we still use these books as additions to their current curriculum because I love them so much! With the workbooks I can easily tell whether or not their work has been completed and we don't have the same issues as we did with the online courses. The workbooks are only available through 7th grade. The math does get a little difficult for the child to do as they advance through the levels without assistance. If math is something your child struggles with, you may need to offer a lot of help as the more difficult concepts begin to be introduced, or choose another program altogether. The good news is that you get to pick and choose which courses out of what they offer you are using, so cutting math out is as easy as clicking a button if you choose to do so.

We did use the high school online version with a young woman who came to live with our family who needed to complete high school and while the lessons were absolutely excellent, we had the same issues with accountability. I did love that the high school version does give great detail about where to go after certain courses are completed in order for your high schooler to receive Advance Placement, or dual credit through CLEP or DSST exams. There was a lot of information about how to do this on the website which I very much appreciated.

Other than the lack of accountability, my children were able to complete their schoolwork in 3 hours or less. We used EP for K-4th grade with two children and once the children were both able to work independently on parts, they were able to both be done in 1.5-3hrs routinely. My high schooler was able to complete her work in about 4-5hrs each day. Overall, it's an excellent program that we desperately needed for the years we used it. It was excellent academically, easy to use, and freed up so much of my time because of the independent work.

Rebbecca Devitt

I hope you enjoy reading this blog post. If you want to do my course on how to homeschool, click here .

Some links in this post are affiliate links.

What is the Easy Peasy Homeschool Curriculum?

The Easy Peasy Homeschool curriculum is a free online curriculum that provides homeschooling families with a comprehensive program covering all grades from pre-kindergarten through high school.

It was created by a Christian homeschooling mom, Lee Giles, and is designed to be easy to use and implement.

The curriculum includes a wide range of resources such as lesson plans, instructional videos, printable worksheets, and quizzes , and covers all subject areas , including math, science, history, English, and more.

Easy Peasy All-in-One has also expanded recently to include My EP Assignments, a tool to help you track student progress. (Lee heavily pushes people to do the curriculum through My EP Assignments.)

This curriculum is popular in many homeschooling families due to its flexibility, comprehensive coverage, and affordability (since it’s free!).

Who is the Creator of Easy Peasy All-in-One?

Lee Giles is the creator of Easy Peasy All-in-One. Lee is a Christian homeschool mom who made her own curriculum and was convicted not to sell it. That way she could offer it for free to parents who need a great curriculum.

Consequently, it’s become (I would say) the best free homeschool curriculum today.

Lee has been heavily involved in missionary work. You can read more about her here . 

How Does Easy Peasy Work

All lessons are uploaded on the Easy Peasy homeschool website or you can print the pages to use for offline work. 

The work for each grade is presented through printable lesson plans . Parents are provided with daily instructions on these plans with clear instructions. The plans include:

  • intrinsic material in the lesson plans and
  • links to free coursework on other websites (i.e. the Khan Academy).
  • materials lists

There are full instructions on how to do this curriculum. As the title suggests, it’s easy to use and follow. In fact, it’s so easy that it’s designed so children can follow the instructions themselves as a self-paced homeschool curriculum .

Easy Peasy Uses Charlotte Mason and Traditional Homeschool Methods

The homeschool methods used in the curriculum are a mix of several styles, most notably the traditional and Charlotte Mason methods .

For example, Easy Peasy uses:

  • living books (exciting and thought-provoking texts that are often stories),
  • picture art studies,
  • copy work, and
  • narration (testing a child through oral methods, not written methods) techniques

These are hallmarks of the Charlotte Mason method  ( if you know nothing about homeschool methods, do my free quiz to find out which one would suit your family .)

The writer of this curriculum also uses activity sheets and online coursework that fit more into the traditional way of learning .

Homeschool methods used in the Easy Peasy All-in-One curriculum.

Easy Peasy is Printable

Lessons have printable activity sheets, meaning children can work offline without computers.

Parents can also print off all the lessons for the year in one go or print out each lesson before homeschool starts.

Can I Buy an Easy Peasy Workbook?

If you’d prefer, you can also buy a book of lessons and coursework from Easy Peasy , which is simple, affordable , and supports Lee’s free homeschool curriculum.

You can see some of the books you can get here:

  • Easy Peasy All-in-One Language Arts
  • Learn-to-Read
  • Literature and Composition
  • Geography and Cultures
  • American History
  • Physics/Chemistry
  • Modern History
  • Ancient History
  • KinderMath Printables
  • Language Arts Workbook
  • Early American History
  • Math Algebra

Parents can use the My EP Assignments (more on this below) to track progress in physical books.

What Supplies Do I Need?

Easy Peasy All-in-One is a free course, and it recognizes parents may not have much spare cash floating around.

Hence, parents only need basic supplies . These are:

  • A laptop or tablet to get lesson plans
  • Colored pencils

I love that the Easy Peasy All-in-One curriculum is so affordable!

Supplies you'll need when studying with Easy Peasy learning.

Do I Need to Register For the Easy Peasy Curriculum?

You don’t need to register with Easy Peasy to use the curriculum .

But, if you register, you can access My EP Assignments system, their tracking tool . (This doesn’t cost anything.)

Using My EP Assignments means you can keep track of your student’s progress. The System is simple and doesn’t give grades or track grading information.

How Does My EP Assignments Work?

My EP Assignments is free . 

Firstly you put your child’s name in and choose their grade. Then you’re directed to a page where you can join others on Facebook using the Easy Peasy curriculum .

You can select a group that is:

  • in your area and
  • a group with children in the same grade as your child.

When you get into the system, you can:

  • customize your child’s unique levels and themes (or use the standard theme) and
  • track student progress (only on the same computer, though)

This system helps parents get organized and have something to show for all the hard work they and their kids put into the program.

Benefits of Using the My EP Assignments

There are a few reasons you would register for an account with My EP Assignments .

Registering means you can:

  • customize the level your student can work at
  • go directly to a lesson instead of scrolling through the page to find your work for the day
  • track your child’s progress and easily see their work
  • add or delete courses you like or dislike
  • accelerate or decelerate the pace if your child is moving more quickly or slowly through the course than expected (useful for gifted or special needs students)

My EP Assignments (AKA My EP Portal ) can also be used with the EP physical textbooks to track days and award points for work completed.

Benefits of Using My EP Assignments.

Kids Can Do It Themselves (Independence is Valued)

Once a child can read, they can do most of the Easy Peasy curriculum by themselves. This is helpful if you’re homeschooling and working full-time or part-time. 

Keep in mind that younger children will need more help than older children.

How it Works (Four-Year Cycle Repeats Subjects)

Easy Peasy uses spiral learning . The subject material is presented in a four-year cycle. Children revisit these themes every four years.

What Grades Does Easy Peasy Offer?

Easy Peasy offers all grades , although they are called ‘levels’ on the website.

Grades from preschool to 8th Grade are on the original EP website.

After this, you go to the high school website , a sister site to the one children will have used in primary and middle school years.

Everything You Want to Know about Easy Peasy, The Free Christian Online Homeschool Curriculum #freehomeschoolcurriculum #freehomeschoolprogram

Studying Easy Peasy in High School

Easy Peasy All-in-One has a separate site for the high school homeschool curriculum .

In high school, there aren’t many electives.

However, this doesn’t mean there isn’t a choice at all .

Other homeschool parents have submitted the courses they’ve written , and Lee Giles, the creator of EP, is compiling a more extensive electives base. This is what Lee said about the units and electives:

You can read the full list of what’s planned on the  courses  page. If a course is listed as “parent submitted,” then it was something sent to me by an EP user. I haven’t worked through it to check content. Some of them are in 180-day format, some aren’t. Some have tests and answers; some do not. They are just shared as a way to help each other out.

What Awards Has This Program Received?

Easy Peasy is one of Cathy Duffy’s top home education curricula. You can easily compare different curricula (free or not) by reading Cathy Duffy’s 102 Top Picks book , which you can pick up for about $15.

How Does Testing Work in this Program?

Testing can put your mind at ease if you’re worried about your children’s progress. In the Easy Peasy curriculum, the younger grades don’t have tests.

This is a good thing as too much testing isn’t beneficial to learning. However, if you want to test children, you can do this informally using narration which is a less stressful option.

While younger grades don’t have examinations, older grades have tests which consist of:

  • written exams,
  • quizzes, and
  • grading criteria.

In this way, this curriculum is quite thorough and shows parents what their children understand in the material.

This said, homeschoolers usually academically outperform their public school peers .

How to Use This Curriculum

Lee has a great video here (second video) that explains how to start using the Easy Peasy curriculum. Listen to this video the whole way through, and then you can get started.

General Points About Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool Curriculum

Some other things you should know about this free program are:

  • Lee Giles (the author of this program) links mainly to other websites , such as the Khan Academy . In comparison, other paid  homeschooling curricula such as  Abeka  and BJU tend to rely much more on their own materials for lessons.
  • You need to know how to read before using this program . Learning to read usually takes between 6 months and two years, and home-educated students must do this before starting formal homework in the Easy Peasy curriculum. But Lee also has a learn-to-read program you can use to do this!
  • This program teaches things from a young-earth perspective, as Lee Giles holds a Creationist worldview . These elements are not everywhere, and because many links in the curriculum aren’t necessarily written from a Christian worldview (i.e., Youtube and the Khan Academy), this probably won’t bother many who don’t hold with a creationist worldview. Of course, creationists will love this!

As a home-educating parent, these points don’t bother me at all. I like the idea of learning from different sources as it might provide some variety.

What Easy Peasy Homeschool Review Forums Say About This Free Homeschool Curriculum

When we look at all the curricula on the market, it’s easy to get caught up in the noise of the plethora of competing information and advertisements.

As such, it’s great to ask other parents who’ve used the curriculum to tell us a little about it. Of course, the next best thing besides asking another parent face-to-face is getting this information from different forums.

As such, I looked at about thirty different Easy Peasy homeschool reviews from all over the internet to see if I could find a consensus on this curriculum. The following are the points I found in common among all the reviews.

Is Easy Peasy Enough. In this Easy Peasy homeschool curriculum review, we look at this Christian homeschooling program and discover if you really can get a good quality program for free. We look at Easy Peasy Homeschool Reviews from around 20 moms and see their consensus on the curriculum.

Pros from the Homeschool Reviews

  • Everyone loves a free curriculum . This helped many  start home educating as it meant they didn’t have to commit to an expensive boxed curriculum while still deciding if they should teach their child at home in the long run.
  • The recommendation to use McGuffey’s Eclectic Primer Readers ( book or free version here ), which has been around for a very long time, to teach children to read was a huge hit.
  • Some mothers liked that the material required a lot of independence from students .
  • You don’t need to lug around heavy textbooks on holidays or field trips . Because all the materials are online, you can take the course with you, provided you have internet access.
  • Some mothers love an online curriculum …and this is what Easy Peasy is!
  • Facebook pages offer support  (see below). This support helps parents troubleshoot Easy Peasy curriculum issues .
  • It uses a Christian worldview throughout . This is a big plus for many Christians, especially as children study it for years. On the other hand, atheists or people of other faiths will find this frustrating.
  • Parents don’t need to plan , as it’s all done for them. Children are prompted to take screenshots of their work at specific points to have a saved portfolio of completed work.
  • There is a lot of variety in the lessons, and the topics studied are interesting.
  • You’ll use  real books that use classic literature – a hallmark of a Charlotte Mason education .

Cons from the Homeschool Reviews

  • One mother felt the lessons were disjointed, and she had to skip around to too many places . However, two other mothers said this was a deliberate plan from the curriculum creator. They liked skipping around as this linked lessons together from different subjects together. (This may also be because Lee is only one woman, and it is difficult for her to compete with curricula like BJU Press as she can’t write all the materials herself. Hence, she has done an excellent job linking to many other materials.)
  • While some mothers would consider this a positive point, some would say the independence required of students was difficult as their children weren’t always up to (or willing to give) the program the input or attention it needed . As children get older, they naturally become more independent learners anyway, so this point will become moot the older homeschoolers become.
  • Some Easy Peasy complaints centered around the assumption that students could read . Some found the reading in First Grade too tricky, although other subjects like math were manageable.
  • The program is online, and some homeschooling parents are wary of the adverse effects of the overuse of technology, so they won’t like it.  However, Lee offers a print-out version for parents concerned about this. (Also, another mother said there was as much offline work as online work.)
  • Children could say they have completed the work but not have done it . They can visit the link but not do or watch the assignment or video. However, one parent circumnavigated this pitfall by asking her kids to print what they had studied. She then called on them to explain and narrate it to her (see video below on narration) to make sure they understood the material.
  • If you’ve chosen to do everything online with only one computer, you have to have your children study at different times as they need a laptop to do the work . If you have plenty of devices, this won’t be an issue.
  • Although the Easy Peasy curriculum is eclectic , it’s also based somewhat on a traditional home education method which can be too rigid for some families and cause stress.

Is Easy Peasy Enough for a Complete Home Education Curriculum?

Many people wonder if you can get something for nothing. In this case, is this  free homeschooling curriculum trash or treasure ?

After reading through many Easy Peasy homeschool reviews on this program, I’ve concluded that it  is enough. Parents don’t have to supplement it with other materials. One of the mothers in the reviews forum said, ‘It has everything you could need.’

Lee also answers the question on her blog, saying:

There is no need to supplement this curriculum unless your state requires more, few do. Is it enough?  Read this, please . (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Knowing this will be a huge relief for many parents!

Other Frequent Questions About this Program

I could deal with these Easy Peasy homeschool review questions in the article, but Lee does it much better . Mothers ask a few other common questions about this program, including:

  • Is it accredited?
  • How do I choose the correct grade for my child?
  • Why is Easy Peasy free?
  • What is Lee’s reading philosophy?

Is Easy Peasy Accredited?

No. The Easy Peasy All-In-One homeschool curriculum is not accredited.

This doesn’t mean that schools won’t accept the credits you get from Easy Peasy, but they might easily reject it too.

On this issue, the creator of this program, Lee Giles, said:

NOTE! Your local high school does not have to accept your homeschool credits. Putting a child back in school can be difficult. Each school has the authority to accept or reject your credits if they are not accredited (which they aren’t from EP) . It’s easier to get your credits accepted by colleges.

Having said this, parents technically can’t get accreditation unless children study in an online school.

And then you’re technically doing online school – not homeschooling. ( Abeka Academy and BJU Press Distance Education do this). This is because curricula can’t be accredited unless used in a school.

See the accreditation section in the SOS article for more on this.

The underlying question with accreditation is, ‘Will my child be able to enter college without accreditation.’ And the simple answer to that question is, ‘Yes. Easily.’ Nowadays, you can do the SAT or ACT or have a portfolio that allows you to enter college.

And you don’t need accreditation – it’s just nice to have. You can read this article to examine this topic more . I’m sure you will find it helpful if you’re concerned about accreditation or college entry.

How Do I Choose the Grade My Child Should Be In?

There are some Easy Peasy placement tests (placement guides) that help you choose the level your child is at below:

  • Math Placement test
  • Reading Placement test
  • Language Arts  Placement test

These placement guides should help you decide which grade to start your child with.

Why Is This Program Free?

Many people wonder if a free homeschooling curriculum will be trash or treasure .

In this case, why has Lee, the creator of EP, made the curriculum free?

Without writing an essay, Lee is a Christian and trusts God to provide for her needs.

On her website, she has a link where you can donate money to her if you’ve loved and benefitted from the program. This is what Lee said about her curriculum:

I thought I could earn money by making lapbooks and selling them on Currclick.com.  I sent them a sample, and they sent me a contract. Before I signed it, the Lord convicted me. I was impressed not to sell them but to give them away. So, I did. Giving away free lapbooks, I started building a following at my homeschool blog. There’s more of my story between then and now, but I guess that’s for another day. There was never a question of selling this curriculum. The Lord had already turned my heart on that issue, but I was making the site for my own children, and I didn’t want to have this whole curriculum and have only my children use it. I wanted to help others who needed to homeschool for free. From day one I wrote the assignments to be used by anyone, not just my family. [ How Can This Be Free? ] (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

What is Lee’s Reading Philosophy?

Lee’s reading philosophy can be found at this link ; although I’ve copied the relevant part, I want you to note below:

When you read, you use sight-reading. You don’t sound out words. You see them and know what they say. That’s how you can read quickly. Phonics is a tool for reading words you don’t recognize. I teach my children the letter names and sounds, and then I teach them to read by sight words. It’s after that I teach phonics. Phonics is simple at that point because they can already read. All of this takes two years. I do this before they start “school” so that they can do “school” more independently and more effectively. All of my children so far are very successful readers and can read faster than I can, I who learned with phonics! We have many  testimonies from families who had great success teaching to read with this method after struggling with other programs. There are also a lot of EP four- and five-year-olds out there reading on second and third-grade levels.

Other Things About the Curriculum: Facebook and Youtube interaction

It can be great when someone begins a free course until they hit a roadblock.

Then they want help.

The Facebook group gives parents this.

The Youtube channel is also helpful, so connect with both of them.

  • Youtube channel. Here’s a link to it . There isn’t much activity, though, and the latest video is quite old.
  • Facebook group. Here’s a link to it . It has over 61,000 members and is highly active . Different regions also have different home education groups for Easy Peasy, so it might be worthwhile looking for a group in your state.

Conclusion: Easy Peasy Homeschool Curriculum Review

The Easy Peasy All-in-One program is an incredible free homeschool curriculum. I am surprised and encouraged that one woman compiled this quality curriculum out of the goodness of her heart. It gives you a complete record-keeping service (through My EP Assignments) and help through Facebook pages. After reading many Easy Peasy All-in-One homeschool reviews, this program has worked well for many families, and it’s definitely worth using.

Rebecca Devitt

Most adults don't particularly want to relive their schooling experience on a daily basis. They would gladly move on to a new life devoid of homework and teachers. Very, very few adults will passionately blog about their schooling some 15 years after graduating. This makes Rebecca Devitt somewhat unique. As it happens, she was homeschooled. And she loved it. Still does. And she wishes every kid could get a taste of homeschooling at its very best. Her website How Do I Homeschool , is a springboard for parents to see what a life of homeschooling could be for both them & their children. When she's not blogging Rebecca is still homeschooling her-adult-self by learning Latin, growing weird vegetables and most importantly looking after her two children Luke & Penny. She has a husband Tristan and is a participant at Wollongong Baptist Church. She's also written a book about why parents should homeschool called 'Why on Earth Homeschool' .

My daughter has used EP for 6 years. She will be graduating in June. Without EP I wouldnt have been able to homeschool. Thank you and God bless.

Thank you for writing this article. I’ve used EP for four years and I have no complaints about it. My kids love it and it IS enough. ?

I used this curriculum for the first time this past school season. I found it overwhelming and was confused. I’m *thinking* about trying it again this year since my feet are somewhat wet with it. I’m not sure. My boys are going into 6th and 8th grade.

My 5th grader has been with EP for 2.5 yrs and we love it! The first time I looked at EP, I too thought that it was overwhelming; however, a couple of years later I really looked at it. My daughter was enrolled in our state’s only virtual academy at that time. We left there midway through 3rd grade, and haven’t looked back! I plan on graduating her from HS via of the EP curriculum. I also have a 2.5 yo daughter whom I plan to start on the GR1 level when she turns 3.5 years. My family thank Lee Giles and the Creator of All for this really great curriculum.

We have used EP for 6 years. All of my children have loved it. My oldest is going into 9th grade in the Fall and we will be using it through high school. She joined the Spanish Live class (supplements the actual Spanish class) last year and LOVED it! That class does have a few, but it’s worth and affordable ($90 for the entire year, held once a week). Now they have the EP Assignments section to help track each child and where they are at with each subject. I can’t wait to use it in the Fall. If you are on the fence, I would highly recommend this site!!!!

Thanks Stephanie. I think I will!

Thanks for this informative review, I really appreciate the balanced look at the program. It’s good to know so many found this curriculum helpful even though it’s free. I had wondered that myself.

Hello, and thank you for such a thorough review. I am a homeschooling mother of two and we just started using Easy Peasy this year, and we all LOVE it. I do not need to supplement except books here and there because my children read fast. We very much love it. We used Abeka for a year, and also The Good and the beautiful curriculums, they were both good too. But considering the price and the quality I must say I like Easy Peasy a whole lot more. I would say give it a try to those who are on the fence, but at the same time Homeschool curriculums don’t have to cost a fortune. God bless! =)

My husband found your review and told me about it. If you register for My EP, then you can check student work from any device. If you use it as a guest, you have to stay on the same computer, but once you login, you can check from your phone to see where your kid is in their work or from whatever device. 🙂 Thanks for your thorough review.

How would I register my daughter in your home school program ?

The program isn’t mine. You can go to allinonehomeschool.com to get this free homeschool curriculum. Also, I think My EP Assignments is their free tracking system: https://myepassignments.com/

Great read!! Thanks for sharing such a great blog, blog like these is really helpful.

This is really helpful blog, I have been homeschooling my children and blog like these has been really helpful.

Please help me help my child I’m feeling I might let him down, he already has small problems but he tries so hard. If you can help me put and what do I need to for him to have a chance to get away from the school he is in now PLEASE HELP ME

I’ll email you now.

I assume an iPad generation 10 will work for Easy Peasy online schooling, am I correct?

I assume so 🙂 I’d recommend asking Easy Peasy themselves as they’ll know more about software compatability.

Thanks for the great review. I was googling something and this came up with a snippet from the very bottom of the page. We do not offer record keeping. My EP Assignments lets you choose what courses you want and have the assignments served up to you on a single page that tracks where you are in each course.

Easy Peasy Reviews

Cathy Duffy reviews provides a very detailed review of the Easy Peasy All in One Online Homeschool, summing up the program as an "eclectic mix of traditional and Charlotte Mason methods with lapbooking and online resources." Cathy Duffy praises the easy to follow structure and also likes the fact that all the resources needed are provided online. Other pros include:

  • Worksheets are marked with an "*" and available to print for free.
  • Lessons use a combination of videos, worksheets, games, and lapbook activities to create a dynamic course.
  • Everything is explained before any materials or lessons are presented.
  • High schoolers can use the Easy Peasy All-In-One High School site.

Ambleside Online Curriculum

Ambleside Online offers a comprehensive, free curriculum that follows the methods developed by Charlotte Mason in Britain at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Ambleside Online Basics

Parents receive access to the curriculum guides, book lists, and online books for their student's grade level, from kindergarten through twelfth grade, as well as a weekly schedule following a thirty-six week school year. The website provides substantial guidance in how to implement Charlotte Mason's methods at home.

  • Adherence to the schedule is optional as it is intended to be a guide.
  • Parents do not need to register to use this curriculum, and Ambleside does not provide teachers - the parent teaches the content.
  • Ambleside Online does not include math or a foreign language, so these will need to be sourced separately.

How Ambleside Online Works

To start, go to the "By Years" tab and click on your child's grade level. There you'll see a table that shows an overview of the courses covered for that school year. You'll also see a book list for the year.

  • Gather the materials from the book list.
  • Decide on your own schedule for the length of lessons and days of the week.
  • Lessons involve the child reading from one of the books, telling you what they read, then doing work related to that text.

Ambleside Online Reviews

Home educator Ellen from The Curriculum Choice loves Ambleside online because it is "flexible, challenging, and thorough." She also loves the high quality literature choices. Other pros include:

  • The website is intentionally no-frills so anyone can use it, even ESL parents and students.
  • The majority of the recommended resources are available for free online.
  • The active forum on the site is full of parents willing to offer free advice and guidance.

Mater Amabilis

Mater Amabilis bills itself as "structured education for Catholics." It is a curriculum resource program for grades Pre-K through 12.

Mater Amabilis History and Basics

Created by Dr. Kathryn Faulkner, a British mother of three and Michele Quigley, an American mother of ten, Mater Amabilis is based on Charlotte Mason's methods. No registration is required and parents can modify any of the ideas and texts to suit their needs. The subjects offered are extensive and include religious education, literature, history, geography, science, Spanish, French and music appreciation. The curriculum does not provide math. This, again, would need to be bought or sourced from one of the options below.

How Mater Amabilis Works

Mater Amabilis offers a thirty-six weeks of lesson plans which is designed to fit within the Catholic Church's liturgical calendar. However, you may work at your pace and therefore structure the curriculum accordingly. The curriculum is divided into levels that loosely translate to traditional grade levels. The site explains how the levels correspond to both the American and the British school systems. Once you click on the tab for your child's level you will find:

  • A detailed syllabus for the entire year with book suggestions for each subject or course.
  • A printable sample weekly schedule.
  • Recommendations for lesson times for the age group.

Blogger Melissa Wiley explains that Mater Amabilis is great because it offers "thorough and detailed schedules." Other pros of this curriculum are:

  • No-frills website that clearly spells out how to use the curriculum.
  • Extensive book and resource lists with optional materials listed.
  • Even though they don't provide a math curriculum, they suggest math activities.

An Old Fashioned Education

If you're looking for a 40-week curriculum option, An Old Fashioned Education is a good free option. This is a free homeschool curriculum program for grades K-12.

Basics and History

Created by a homeschooling mother of three boys, An Old Fashioned Education was designed to incorporate Christian values into an educational schedule which is broken down into grade levels. Almost all the resources are free and include public domain literature. No registration is required to follow this curriculum. Maggie, the author of the site, recommends that parents buy math and science texts or curricula so that their child or children can benefit from the most up-to-date information.

How the Curriculum Works

For a comprehensive look at the Old Fashioned Education curriculum, read Maggie's guide . She details how to get started and how to plan your year. You can also look at the printable curriculum chart to see what's covered at each grade level. Simply select the year of your choice, read or print out the forty week schedule, and follow the links to the information. You are free to follow Maggie's ideas and texts or to interchange with your own as you see fit.

Successful-homeschooling.com provides a number of reviews for An Old Fashioned Education. Most homeschool reviewers seem to like the fact that there are so many free literature choices, and some are especially taken with the selection of older, or classic, literary texts. Some reviewers point out that the literature needs to be read online or printed, which often means a great number of pages. One of the best assets of this curriculum are the incredibly detailed weekly schedules.

Under the Home

Under the Home (UTH) is a free K-4 homeschool curriculum that is inspired by the methods of Charlotte Mason.

Basics of UTH

UTH was created by mother and scientist Sonja Glumich as a way to make homeschooling easy for any parent. The UTH curriculum follows a 36-week school schedule. It covers listening comprehension, reading, writing, art, music, and mathematical thinking. You can check out the curriculum guide to see more details about what's covered each year.

How to Use UTH

Start by clicking on your child's grade level from the drop-down menu. You'll then see a series of thumbnail images with all the subjects covered in that grade level. When you click on a subject, you'll see specific lesson plans or resources you can use online or print. Individual lesson provide basic information and give assignments that are typically completed in any notebook you have on hand.

UTH Reviews

Reviewer Cathy Duffy shares that UTH is "a surprisingly sophisticated, free, and easy-to-use option for homeschooling." She adds that the creator does a great job of pairing older, public domain texts with fun activities and lessons kids will have no problem relating to. While the site doesn't lay out a school schedule for you, it offers simple lessons any parent can pull of using any schedule they choose.

Khan Academy

With the mission to "Provide a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere," Khan Academy calls itself a "personalized learning resource." If you're going with a student-led learning approach, kids can use this website for self-paced instruction.

Khan Academy History and Basics

Founded in 2005 by Salman Khan, Khan academy is a free learning resource which teaches by using practice exercises and instructional videos. Parents and students can both sign up, a very simple procedure, and study at their own pace. While Khan Academy is not an online school or a curriculum, it serves many of the same purposes as those resources. Khan Academy covers all grade levels from preschool through advanced high school subjects.

How to Use Khan Academy

Parents of younger children can create a parent account, then create a child account under that. Older students can create their own account. Once you have a personal account, progress is monitored on your dashboard. Subject areas covered by Khan include:

  • Science & Engineering
  • Arts & Humanities
  • Economics & Finance
  • ELA/Reading (As of April 2020, this is in the beta testing phase.)

Khan Academy Reviews

Common Sense Media awards Khan Academy four out of five stars and suggests that it is a quality resource that is continually growing and improving. The site praises the "almost unlimited" math resources, but suggests the site is best used by older kids, particularly high school students.

The cK-12 online classes seek to make learning a personal journey for each child that focuses on their unique abilities and learning style. This program can be used as a supplemental resource for regular school classrooms or for individual students. It covers material for grades K-12.

How to Use cK-12

You don't have to sign up to start taking classes on cK-12. Simply click on the "Subjects" tab, choose a subject, then choose a lesson to begin. If you sign up for a free account, you can use the dashboard function to track your classes. Kids under 13 can't create their own account, so a parent would need to create one for them. The content includes reading materials, videos, practice questions, and often an interactive exercise. Subjects covered by cK-12 include:

  • Writing/Spelling
  • Social Studies

Reviews of cK-12

Common Sense Media awards Ck12.org four out of five stars and suggests that the resources are mainly geared towards kids older than ten, although there is information for younger children on the site. The main perks are the ability to learn at your own pace and learn about what interests you, multimedia presentations of information, and there are lessons being added all the time.

HippoCampus

HippoCampus.org is a free academic website that provides resources for the middle school to college level. They compile several resources from different sites into one place; using websites such as NASA, Khan, STEMbite, Phoenix College, and Moments in American History, to provide the student with a comprehensive and unusual variety of educational information. You don't need to register to view the content and it can be used by kids on their own or as part of a planned lesson by a teacher.

How to Use HippoCampus

Hippocampus itself recommends use of the website for homeschoolers as a supplement to your curriculum. To get started, click on one of the subjects listed under Math, Natural Science, Social Science, or Humanities. From there you'll have the option to choose multimedia lessons in the form of presentations, worked examples, or simulations. You may also see recommended related links or activity suggestions.

Review of HippoCampus

Although Common Sense Media only awards Hippocampus.org three out of five stars, it gets an A+ because it provides "credible information on a wide range of topics." Ed Tech Review points out that the site is a highly comprehensive resource which pulls together many educational resources from the web into one core academic website. Furthermore, Ed Tech Review suggests the site is easy to navigate and a great homework, study, and exam resource.

Connections Academy

Connections Academy offers a free public education for grades K - 12 in about 25 states. All tuition and materials are completely free. The school is fully accredited. (The accrediting agency varies based on state, but all programs are accredited.) The curriculum for each student enrolled covers core subjects as well as individual choices and electives. Do not be confused with Connections Academy's private online school offering, which is International Connections Academy .

Registration

Registration is required, and the registration process is detailed. In order to attend the online academy for free, you have to meet certain qualifications which do vary by state. However, after you complete the initial steps, a Connections Academy Counselor will guide you through the rest of the enrollment process. In many states, if there are places left, students can enroll after the beginning of the school year. Connections Academy is a public school and generally follows the calendar of traditional public schools in your area.

Blogger Alyssa shares her love of this school option saying "Because it's an online school, we can be flexible with our schedule." There are requirements for weekly learning time and state testing in some cases, but you don't have to adhere to a normal school schedule. The consensus is that Connections Academy is suitable for those who are seeking a public, online and secular experience. Some parents suggest that Connections Academy is a valuable resource for those looking for a high school level curriculum for their homeschool.

K12 provides online public schooling for many states. Use the school finder to see if this is an option where you live. K12's public schools are one hundred percent tuition free and are considered virtual schools.

K12 History and Basics

K12 set out, in 1999, to create a school model allowing students to work at their pace with individually tailored courses which still encompassed the core curriculum as defined by a particular state. K12 is accredited by AdvancedEd and provides state certified teachers. Parents act as Learning Coaches and are very involved with their child's education. K12 is a full-time school and the enrollment process is similar to the process found at any public school.

Although reviews about K12 are pretty mixed, parents on both sides point to the challenging workload as part of their comments. If you're prepared to help your child succeed and they're prepared to work hard, it seems K12 can be a great online school option.

Troubleshooting.

  • There is a password for the answer pages. The universal answers password is parentsonly – all one word, all lowercase. The answers page password is NOT the password that you created for your online account, and it cannot be changed to something else.
  • Check the answers in a different browser or on a different device than what your student uses for school to make sure that the password isn’t saved on the browser and device that your student uses.
  • My EP Assignments allows you to create a family account (for up to ten students) and log in each day to see your students’ assignments. We are not keeping any records for your children, though. The login is only so that your computer knows who you are. You are responsible for all record keeping. The All-in-One courses are free and available to use without registration. My EP Assignments is a website that you can use for free to plan your children’s course schedule and then it will give your child their daily lessons. Go here to register and make an account . It will ask you to consider making a donation. Those donations are Lee’s income. Her and her husband’s only work is EP.
  • Please check our Link Issues page.
  • Please check our Login Issues page.
  • Take a look at our Troubleshooting Guide .
  • The Overview page has a lot of information.
  • Here’s our walkthrough to get started .
  • Here’s where you create an account .
  • EP provides placement resources for math, reading, and language arts. These are just guides, not law. There is also a placement test for newcomers to help you find the best fit in our curriculum.
  • You can mix and match levels.  In general, I don’t suggest choosing a higher reading level than your child’s natural grade level. While they may be excellent readers, the subject matter in books for older students may not be appropriate for young readers.
  • My personal suggestion is to place your child where they will be successful. If it’s too hard, they will shut down. Find where they are successful and move on from there. Just keep taking steps forward and you’ll always be moving in the right direction.
  • There aren’t placement tests for high school. Most students follow a typical order of courses that you can find here: High School Courses.
  • That’s your decision. You can start anywhere you like, but if you don’t know what to pick just start at the beginning with ancient history. If you recently did ancient history with a different curriculum, choose Early American History. They pretty much go in order, so I do recommend that wherever you begin, you continue from there, cycling back to ancient history after modern. Learn about the themes here .
  • EP has DAILY subjects (Math, Language Arts, Reading, History, Science, Bible) that are designed with 180 lessons. Do one “lesson” each day .
  • The WEEKLY courses (Art, Music, PE/Health, Computer, Thinking) are designed to be done one lesson a week for 36 weeks.
  • Of course, you are the teacher and you are welcome to move through the lessons at your student’s pace, whether that’s slower or faster than how the lessons were designed.
  • (Math 5/6 is an exception to this. The course description for that course has tips/instructions about pacing the lessons.)
  • In high school, all the subjects are daily.
  • If you choose a LEVEL and a THEME, you are getting the full curriculum as it was originally designed, and you do NOT need to use any additional individual courses/subjects.
  • You can certainly just choose a course from the site menu, but it’s much easier to use My EP Assignments and select any course or set a level and get the complete curriculum. Then your child will get delivered their daily lessons from the courses you chose.
  • Here is a list of the THEMES and a list of the high school courses in their recommended order. Don’t forget the placement resources for choosing individual course levels.
  • Your child just needs basic tools: pencil, scissors, glue, crayons or colored pencils.
  • There are links to “ materials needed” lists at the top of each course page.
  • Students need at least one spiral notebook or binder and paper to be able to write down anything necessary from the lessons.
  • The tests are in high school. High school courses have quizzes, midterms, finals, grading rubrics, and grade sheets.
  • If there isn’t a test there, then there is no test. Why do you need a test? You are with your child every day and probably already know his or her strengths and weaknesses.
  • Lower levels do not have grades or tests built into the curriculum. If your student’s assignment includes a “quiz,” that should be used as a learning tool, not as a knowledge assessment.
  • You could use a grading sheet if you want to keep grades before high school; however, I personally DO NOT recommend keeping any grades unless you are required to.
  • We have no records of your children’s scores for any activities done on the site.
  •  If it says “answer,” then there is an answer there. It could be a link, or it could look like the example below.
  • Click and drag over the blank space to highlight the answer and see it.  Like this:  (Answer:  It’s Easy Peasy! ) [ NOTE : On a mobile device, click and drag over the blank space and then copy it to a document, email, notes app, etc. to see the hidden text. ]
  • If the word “Answer” is a link, then you will need the password to see the answer. Find that here .
  • If there are no answers there, then there are no answers. If you have answers for whatever it is that you think are helpful to have, email them to me and I’ll post them for everyone. You can find my email below.
  • That’s your decision. You can feel free to start on Lesson 1, or you can start wherever you need to in order to finish the year when you want to.
  • Check the individual course pages to read the course descriptions to see if you think it’s something you can jump into the middle of. You are already jumping into the middle of the curriculum (having not started with EP’s Preschool levels), so either way there may be some things you will need to teach or review with your child to help them fit in with whatever they are studying.
  • If you start in the middle, don’t do it without thought. Don’t just pick a lesson number. Look and see what makes sense, like not right in the middle of a novel. Look for the beginning of a new unit in science and history. You can be on different lesson numbers in different courses.
  • Easy Peasy is a FREE curriculum that you can try at any time. We continually hear reports of students who are very successful using Easy Peasy when no other curriculum has worked. Take a break from what you are using, or use the summer to try it for yourself to find out. There is no harm in trying. No size fits all; every child is different.
  • Join our Special Kids Facebook group to meet other families in a similar situation. I personally have three children with autism.
  • There are two Learn To Read courses: Sight Reading and Phonics.
  • Sight Reading – Learn to Read includes sight word memorization lessons (from the McGuffey’s Eclectic Primer, revised edition) and sight reading practice lessons (from the McGuffey’s Eclectic First Reader, revised edition).
  • Phonics – Learn to Read teaches phonics.
  • They are both part of EP’s Kinder courses, but they are also recommended for older kids who are not ready for EP’s Reading 1 course, which includes chapter books and novels around a 2nd – 3rd grade reading level.
  • You can find both of the LTR courses in the Learn To Read With EP offline book.
  • Math 5/6 is a self-paced math foundations course with 139 lessons usually taken in 5th or 6th grade. Your student should spend as much time as they need to master each lesson. At the beginning, they may be able to do multiple lessons each day, but they will likely come to lessons that require them to spend more than one day to learn and master. Make sure you read the course description for more information about that! Some kids can finish Math 5/6 in a few months; others may take a year or more. When your student finishes Math 5/6, they are ready for Math 6/7.
  • Math 6/7 is a typical EP course with 180 daily lessons. It’s usually taken in 6th or 7th grade.
  • Pre-Algebra follows Math 6/7 and is usually taken in 7th or 8th grade. It’s followed by Algebra, which you can find on the high school curriculum website.

  • There are two levels of assignments available for the theme courses (history, science, etc.).  Levels 1 – 4 is for the elementary level, grades 1 through 4. Levels 5 – 8 is for the middle school level, grades 5 through 8.
  • The * indicates that there is a worksheet to print, or that you can find a worksheet for that lesson in your Printables book. The (*) means that it is optional. You don’t need to print it to complete the assignment.
  • You’ll find course worksheet PDF packets at the top of each course page if they exist. They are FREE to print . You do not have to buy them. Let us know if you find someone selling them!
  • Consider doing some or all of your school offline. In the EP Store you can purchase books containing 180 days of assignments for your child’s level in math, reading, and language arts. Genesis   Curriculum is Lee’s offline curriculum for history and science which allows for all your children to learn together.

Many families homeschool more than one child with ONLY one computer; while one is doing math on the computer, the others are working on worksheets, reading, chores, correcting yesterday’s work, practicing their instrument(s), cooking/baking, or even playing. Bible can be completed first thing in the day together. Later in the school day, the theme subjects (history, science, art, music, PE) can be completed together as a family. Most families find that school lasts anywhere from 2-4 hours, giving you more time to explore other areas of interest. It’s Easy Peasy! Here’s Lee’s response to the question, “Can I use EP  with only one computer?”
  • PRINTABLE books include all the worksheets you need to complete the online course (not daily worksheets, just what worksheets they are asked to complete as part of their online assignments). You can print them at home yourself using the free PDF packets or purchase them as bound books .
  • The WORKBOOKS contain all the same printable worksheets but also have a worksheet for every day of the 180-day course. (Do NOT buy both the Printables book and the Workbook.) You can use the Workbook along with the online course and have some extra worksheets, or you can use the Workbook along with the PARENT’S GUIDE and have a complete offline course .
  • Here are our Pro User Tips .
  • Use My EP Assignments to track courses and lesson numbers.
  •  Our high school courses are on the High School site . We have four full years of courses available. Please join our high school level Facebook group .
  •  If it says “answer” followed by a blank space, then there is an answer there. Click and drag over the blank space to highlight the answer and see it.  Like this:  (Answer:  It’s Easy Peasy! ) [ NOTE : On a mobile device, click and drag over the blank space and then copy it to a document, email, notes app, etc. to see the hidden text. ]
  • If the word “Answer” is a link, then you will need click the link to see the answer. Answers at the high school level aren’t password-protected, since kids are expected to be working independently in high school
  • Not all assignments have answers. If you created an answer key for an assignment that doesn’t currently have answers, email them to me and I’ll post them for everyone. You can find my email below.
  • Only schools are accredited. Curricula and materials are never accredited. EP is a curriculum, NOT a school, so EP is not accredited. Homeschoolers are not required to enroll in an accredited school.
  • Yes! Thousands of homeschoolers in all 50 US states use EP for high school. Every state has its own homeschool requirements. Join your EP state group to find out what your state’s requirements are. The site is geared to meet Pennsylvania’s requirements. It has 180 days of assignments for 1 credit courses. In some states your child could play video games for four years and you could call him a high school graduate. My state, Pennsylvania, is not one such state. Here they have guidelines for what “counts.” To count as a completed high school course in PA, a student can do ANY of the following: complete two-thirds of a textbook, have 120 daily logged entries, have 120 hours of logged study, complete a ten-page research paper, complete a college course, or pass an AP exam. If you follow Easy Peasy, you’ll have 180 “daily logged entries.” You’ll be way ahead of the game.
  • In most states, the homeschool parent/teacher keeps all the required records, creates the student’s transcript, and issues the diploma when the student graduates. A couple states will actually provide a diploma to homeschool grads if they meet certain criteria. Your EP state group can let you know if that’s an option where you live. Read this page about homeschooling high school and preparing for college for more info.
  • NOTE! Most public high schools will not accept any high school credits earned from homeschool and may make a transferring homeschool student start over as a 9th grader. Enrolling a child in high school can be difficult after 9th grade. Each school has the authority to accept or reject your credits. It is recommended that if you begin earning high school credits while you are homeschooling, you should plan to continue through graduation. All branches of the military and most colleges accept homeschool graduates at an equal level with public and private school grads, so graduating from homeschool is not a disadvantage for post-high school plans.
  • EP students have received NCAA scholarships. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) doesn’t pre-approve curriculum, so I can’t say that your EP courses will definitely be accepted. I have talked with them and written them and filled out forms, so they should have on file that we are a curriculum. Someone had run into trouble before because they labeled us a virtual program. They had a hard time understanding what EP is. You are in charge of grading your child’s EP courses. The online graded quizzes are really like an answer key in the back of the book. You are the one writing the grade down and giving your child each grade. It’s important that you describe your use of EP as if it were similar to a textbook. There’s something to read and questions to answer and answers provided, but you are the teacher (even if your child works independently) and you are in charge of grading and transcripts, etc. If you say you aren’t the teacher, you can’t get the credit awarded. You are the teacher. There is no other teacher interacting with your child. They will ask for books used. You can list the site. Don’t list something like Georgia Virtual. That will just confuse them. I would say something like “more than 350 links were used,” rather than trying to list anything specific other than our website.

Books: EP Offline

  • You don’t need to buy anything to use the free, complete online curriculum. If you have a computer, internet access, and a printer, you are set!
  • To make things easier, some people prefer to buy the low-cost printables instead of printing all the worksheets for the online lessons themselves.
  • Some subjects have books available for people who prefer to work offline. You can find those books in the EP Store .
  • More info here: Which books to I need to buy?
  • You can find book samples here .
  • Lee’s Genesis Curriculum is an offline options for history and science.
  • PRINTABLES books include all the worksheets you need to complete the online courses (not daily worksheets, just what worksheets they are asked to complete as part of their online assignments). You can print them at home yourself using the free PDF packets or purchase them as bound books .
  • For the Reading courses, the EP Readers include all the reading assignments and reading content for the whole year, the directions and the poems, short stories, novels, etc.
  • There are supplemental EP Reader Workbooks with extra vocabulary and spelling worksheets that you can use alongside both the online and offline courses. The Reader Workbooks are optional and not needed for completing the course. You can find samples of the Reader Workbooks here .
  • EP’s Preschool course has a Printables book (for online) and a complete Workbook (for offline).
  • Kindergarten has an offline reading book and an offline handwriting book, but Kinder Math is online. If you want to be completely offline for Preschool and Kinder, you could use the Genesis Curriculum GC Steps books. They include all the same reading, handwriting, and math content as the EP online courses, but the sequencing is different.

  • Join your state group .  Find out your state’s requirements.  Connect with local homeschoolers.
  • Here’s our guide to getting started with our curriculum .
  • Easy Peasy is used by families in all 50 states and around the world. Every state has their own requirements. Learn your state’s requirements at HSLDA. (Google that with your state name.) You can also join your EP state group to ask specifically about how to use EP in your state.
  • Easy Peasy was made to meet Pennsylvania’s requirements. It has 180 days of assignments for all core subjects and includes all the extras like art and music. In addition to the standard subjects, it covers civics in Theme 2 and fire safety each year. Pennsylvania is one of the stricter states, though not THE strictest.
  • Here’s a page with some questions and answers about pulling out of school to start using Easy Peasy.
  • We understand that for some families homeschooling is a temporary choice. If you think you will be re-enrolling in a public or private school in the future, you will want to contact the school directly (now!) and ask them what the process for that will involve. There isn’t one standard process for accepting transfer students.
  • Most elementary and middle schools will place by age. Some will use a placement test. Some will request a report card from the homeschool parent. Easy Peasy is not a school and does not keep records for your student. EP cannot provide report cards or completion certificates or transcripts. If the school asks for a report card, the homeschool parent will need to provide that. Just create it. Search for a template online.
  • Most public high schools will not accept credits earned while homeschooling and will make your student repeat classes for credit. Some students have been able to test out of courses that they completed as homeschoolers. It is recommended that if your student begins homeschooling during high school, they should plan to continue until graduation. Most homeschoolers are given a diploma from their homeschool parent when they graduate. Homeschool transcripts are accepted by most colleges and all branches of the military. We have sample transcripts and transcript templates on our site. Here’s the page with more information on diplomas and transcripts.
  • I’m sorry for what your family has gone through. Give your child a hug and extra patience. Praise them often. Tell them how great they are. Encourage the things they are good at. Be patient with the struggles. Take a step forward each day.

What is best for my children to use a table or computer

A computer is the best choice. Here’s more from the “troubleshooting” FAQ above: https://allinonehomeschool.com/troubleshooting-guide/

Hi. Apparently I have an account, I think it’s only for one child. I need to make a family account. How do I do that?

Go to your parent settings page and click on “add student.” You can add up to 10 on one account.

I would like to speck to someone. And get more information.. I have 5 kids that I would love to get started as soon as possible..

We don’t offer phone support as we are all volunteers. But we have tons of Facebook support as linked on this page above. You can get started by following these steps: https://allinonehomeschool.com/start-today/

I need to ask a question

Let us know how we can help if your question isn’t answered on the page above.

' src=

I have have a 2nd grader and 6th grader… can they do the same History, Science, Art, PE, etc courses? How do I know what level to choose?

They can study the same topic, but the 6th grader will go more in-depth than the 2nd grader at the 5-8 level. Ultimately it’s up to you if you want to keep them both in the 1-4 level or mix and match from both levels. But the way it’s designed, they’d use the same topics, but the 2nd grader would do the 1-4 level and the 6th grader the 5-8 level.

' src=

Hi I also have all the questions! Starting with where do I find the parent and or lesson guides I need for first grade? Send help 🙏🙏🙏

' src=

To use the online course, you don’t need the guides. If you are working offline, then you can get the guides in our store. https://epallinone.com/store/gradeOffline.html

I really thought this would be so easy. Level 8. Nothing to buy, we can print the pages but when I click “Pintables” it takes me to buy the books. I have watched him do the work -6days worth-but nothing is advancing no points awarded.

I don’t know what courses you are referring to. Lit and Comp do not have printables. On the store page is also the link to print everything we have available. History and Science have printables at that level. Here’s the page to print from. https://allinonehomeschool.com/the-print-page/ If your days are not moving forward, you haven’t marked any assignments complete. Here’s where you can learn how to do that. https://allinonehomeschool.com/completing-a-day/

Hi yes i was wondering if you could call me at noon. Can i do tthis program for a 5 year old if not do you know how

Our courses start at preschool and go all the way through high school. If your 5-year-old knows all letters and sounds, you can start at the kindergarten level. Otherwise, back up to preschool to get that foundation.

' src=

Im just wondering, do we have to print off printables or is everything done online?

The Printables are intended to be printed (or purchased from Amazon if preferred). But you can use the curriculum however you’d like to. If you want to look at the worksheet on the screen and figure out a way to work it out on extra paper, that’s entirely up to you.

' src=

Can’t thank you enough for this curriculum. It’s made our family closer because the children get to work together on a subject instead of fighting for time to get help on assignments.

I noticed you have a separate spelling class that I will use this year. It doesn’t seem to be included when I page through the language arts in myEP can you help me find it or make it available?

I’m so glad to hear it’s had a positive effect on your family. On My EP, spelling is the first thing in any of the Electives blocks. When you add the Electives block, if it doesn’t say Spelling in the added course block, click on Previous course.

' src=

I am having problems adding the spelling as well. I have tried what you suggested, but still have not been successful. Please help. Thank you.

' src=

Who do I turn the work into

' src=

The parents/guardians are responsible for checking work and keeping track of records.

I am having the same problem adding the spelling as well. I have tried what was suggested, but still cannot get it to pull up no matter how far back I go on previous course.

Please be sure you’re using an elective block. It’s the very first course in that block. It’s not in the language arts block.

Hello, I am having trouble finding the printable “parent guide” for level 4 math. Can you help? Thank you, I love this site and have registered!

The parent guides are only available for purchase, but they’re also only necessary if you’re using the offline workbooks. If you’re using the online courses, the parent guides won’t apply. For more info, see this page: http://www.allinonehomeschool.com/which-books

' src=

hello how are you all doing? praying all is well and blessed for you all? I am wanting to know is the children’s completed work stored all year? as in can we go back and have proof if needed that their work is being done?

No, we don’t keep any records. You can take screenshots or print things out throughout the year if your state requires proof of some kind.

Hello, we are very new to this curriculum but absolutely love everything we have seen so far, however I have a question…my youngest son (6) is autistic and was wondering if there were any special home school activities that We can do with him, coupled with the EP to help with the learning process for him.

Hello, I thought at one point when i was searching the options for classes, I thought i saw Sign language as an option. Was I mistaken or just looking in the wrong place?

It’s on the foreign languages page: https://allinonehomeschool.com/foreign-languages/

Hello. I am looking for the Christian side of things. I went to get books but don’t see anything for history or Bible or Christian. I could only find history in the printable section and it says next to the Bible section that they are included in the history theme workbooks in the store but the books that takes me too all say printables. So I’m a little confused. Is history only something that can be done online with the printables or is the books the link takes me to, to buy on Amazon that says printables really a workbook?

Our curriculum is an online curriculum. Over the years, we’ve made a few courses available as offline options, but the majority of our courses (including history and Bible) are online-only. You can print or purchase as a bound book the worksheets that go along with the online course, but the rest of the course will still be online.

Awsome thank you 😊

HI!! About how long relatively does it take for one child to complete the day of work? I am aware each child is different and takes more time than others but just trying to “roughly” plan my day since I will be having 3 using 1 computer. I am doing Easy Peasy this year for my 3 children and just purchased the printable books on Amazon. I am soooo very excited and thank you so much for this wonderful blessing in our lives. We would not have been able to pull our children from public school without this affordable easy blessing. God bless you!! I plan on having my daughter Sierra(7th) go first starting by 7:30 in the morning and then having my 2nd and 4th grader do their work. Thanks again. I dont have facebook to join the group.

Generally speaking, around 30 minutes to an hour total for kindergarten, 20-30 minutes per subject for elementary, up to 45 minutes to an hour per subject for high school. Like you said, it will completely vary depending on the work ethic/focus/ability or the student, but those are rough time frame averages.

' src=

Can a Student work ahead? Say they finish Day 1, can they go on to Day 2, Day 3 in the same day?

Yes, the lessons are self-paced. If you click “show did more” on your settings page, you can mark multiple lessons of individual subjects before marking the entire day complete and moving everything forward. The info page linked on your settings page has a video you can watch about it as well.

' src=

This site is so wonderful and I love that there are so many courses. I’m so thankful for the content.

I was wondering if maybe sometime in the future, there could be an option where parents can leave notes to their student/s either in each subject or somewhere in the section where they check off their work. I think it would be good to leave words of encouragement or reminders to the students.

This is just a thought 🙂

We do have on our list of feature request things like parent notes, whether encouragements, reminders, or alterations to the assignment. Everything we store costs a little more money, so we have to think about adding something like that and what the impact would be, but it’s something we do have in mind. What you can do for now, is add a Parent Add-On and use the course title to leave a note or make a webpage and link to it and change it with what you want to say that day. Then it would be part of their school day each day.

Oh, the Parent Add-On suggestion sounds like a good way to do it. Thank you so much for your response and thank you for all the effort you put into making this site. It really is a blessing. 🤗

my kids have been doing this a month and i still dont understand the grade part that we have to send in and how do the graduate from this school i have one kid in 9th and one in 7th

Is sending in grades a requirement of your state? You’ll want to check with your state group to see how to handle that. allinonehomeschool.com/facebook-groups

As far as graduating, in most states the homeschool parent is responsible for graduation requirements. You can read more on this page: allinonehighschool.com/college

Covenant Light Private School, which is a Christian umbrella/satellite school, recommended I sign up with you. They support homeschool families and let the parents choose the material they’d like to use as long as the student learns what is required of them. My son is beginning his senior year, so I signed him up with Easy Peasy to do Spanish and US Government and other subjects like Bible Studies too. Was wondering if you have US Government as an option. I couldn’t find it in the curriculum. Maybe I’m not know how to find it. Love what you guys do! Grateful for any help, Jason

The first half of this course is US Government with the second half focusing on international governments: https://allinonehighschool.com/geographyculturesgovernment/

Hello! I am a student and i wanna graduate soon! But my sister is havin issues with gettingg something that said she graduates. Please help!

We’re just a curriculum and don’t supply anything that says you graduate. In most states, the parent/homeschool guardian creates and supplies that. More here: allinonehighschool.com/college

You can check with your state group to find out how homeschoolers graduate in your state: allinonehomeschool.com/facebook-groups

My child will be starting school for the first time. He is six. He is level 1 for everything, but I had to start him off with the sight words/phonics and also kinder reading. Is this ok? Also, is there anyway I can do reading 1 and language 1 during the summer or something to catch up so that next year he will be on level 2 for everything? What do you suggest? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just start where you are and move forward. When you finish, just move forward with the next thing. Reading 1 is reading novels, something they wouldn’t start I don’t think until third grade in public school. You are not behind. You can look at Kinder Writing and Language Arts 1 and use what’s appropriate for your child.

How do I find the password for the answer keys?

parentsonly all one word, all lowercase

' src=

The answer key is unlocked without entering the password, how do I get this changed back?

It sounds like your browser is storing it. Clear your cache and it will go back to requiring the password. Then in the future use a different browser or device to check the answers on OR clear your cache each time you check the answers if you need to use the one used for school to do so.

I’m looking into withdrawing my child from school and have questions. Will they receive a diploma when this is completed and able to go onto college? I’m so confused. I’m just looking for other educational options.

Good morning,

We are trying to locate the Spanish Level 6. Lesson 2 refers to worksheets, so we assumed there is a printables book, but we are unable to locate it.

There aren’t enough worksheets in the course to warrant a book. The worksheet is linked right there in lesson 2 or you can just use a notebook to write the words down.

I’m trying to get my son enrolled in 8th grade and the site has him enrolled at 1st grade. Could you please help me with this situation so that we my get prepared for the school year?

Thanks, Pauline B.

Go to your settings page and click “set level and theme” and choose level 8. You can also adjust any individual level by selecting “previous course” or “next course” if the 8th level courses need to be adjusted in any way for your student.

How do I change my password? How do I create a password for my children to be able to answer questions?

Your My EP Assignments password can be changed on the settings page. The site password for answers is universal and cannot be changed. It’s at the top of this page – parentsonly – all one word, all lowercase.

' src=

Hi, I am having a similar issue where my child is able to see the answer links within his assignments for all of his classes. He is using a different computer than I am when I set everything up but when I logged into his assignments on his computer for the first time, the answer links were there and available for him to click on. Any help in trying to hide those links is greatly appreciated.

The answer links will be a available on high school courses because many of our high schoolers are utilizing the curriculum independently and need access to the answers.

On lower level courses, the answer links will be password-protected unless they are intended to be available to the student for learning purposes.

The answer links cannot be hidden – they’re just part of the curriculum.

Hi, i would like to use the Culinary Arts curriculum but some of the worksheets or not highlighted to click on or to print. How can i get those worksheets.

That is one of the parent-submitted courses and not one we created or keep up with. You could join our High School group on Facebook and see if you can connect with the parent who made it.

Thank you so much!

HI I love your site so far! When I first saw it I thought free is never free and if it is its garbage. Boy was i wrong! So far it exactly what it says. Easy Peasy! Very easy to set up and navigate so far. I have one question. In checking out my child’s lesson there were answers. When i clicked it it brought me to an answer key for quizzes! Is there a way to turn it off? Thank you, Heather.

The lower level classes have answers that are password-protected. We recommend checking the answers from a different browser or computer than the one used for school in case your browser stores the password. The high school courses have answers available so your student can be independent in their work (like textbooks that have answers in the back.) I require that my students show their work so that I know they understand the process of reaching the answer and aren’t just copying it down and moving on.

' src=

I’m not understanding. I didn’t set up a password. We just logged in and clicked my sons folder. In his lesson there is answer there. He clicked it and it gave him the answer. Same for quiz.

You don’t set up the password. It’s universal. Is your son taking Algebra? That’s a high school course and the answers will be available to the student for all high school courses.

Under parent settings, my children are enrolled in the once a week courses. Today should be Art, but it is not showing up on their student page. I deleted the core classes because we are doing those offline with the books. Was I supposed to leave those on their pages? Just not sure why the once a week courses are not showing up. Thank you

Those show up based on the day number at the top of the page, not the calendar date. That way weekends, holidays, any breaks you take don’t cause you to miss assignments.

I have unenrolled my 1st grader and I am wanting to know which books I will need to buy? I would rather buy them and him do work books instead of online if possible. Can someone help me with this?

Only certain levels of math, reading, and language arts are available completely offline. Everything else (science, history, Bible, music, art, PE/health, thinking, computer) is only available online.

Hi, I was just wondering if the courses under “links to other courses” (for example, crash course film making) is worth any credit. Sites like Saylor.org have it listed if you search for it in the link, but some of the parent submitted courses don’t.

In a homeschooling situation, in most states the parent or homeschool guardian determines the credit. As a general rule of thumb for high school, 120-180 hours of work is a worth 1 credit.

' src=

I must be too hyper I cant figure where info is about what is needed for 2nd grade? Math, Writing, Reading, History? Anything else needed? IF so how do I see where to pull these up and do they cost anything.

If you go to myepassignments.com and set up an account, you can click “set level and theme” and it will auto-generate all of the recommended courses. You can change the level or subject matter by clicking “previous course” or “next course” and you can remove any course you don’t want by clicking the x to delete it. Easy Peasy is completely free.

Is there a pdf grade sheet available for drawing professionally? if not, is one necessary ? I don’t know how to use the blanks without instruction lol TIA!

Thank you so much for this curriculum! I just pulled my kids from public school last year and this site was exactly what I needed to have the confidence and direction to home school my children. I was wondering if at some point if any of the high school classes will be offered in offline/workbook form? My son will be using Algebra 1 and Literature and Composition 1 next year for his ninth grade year which i see are in book format. He does better with physical books for some subjects instead of working online. Just curious. Would love to be able to order high school math and language arts in book format!

We already have Lit and Comp 1 and Algebra 1 as offline courses, completely in books. And we’re continuing from there, so we’re ready for you! If you know where you saw that we didn’t have high school books (used to be true), let me know so I can edit that note.

Great to hear! I didn’t see anywhere that it mentions that high school is not offered in book format. When looking ahead I just noticed that after Algebra I and Lit and Comp 1 that the rest of the subjects for high school are only offered in online format. So I thought I would just look into if at any point more high school courses would be offered in book format at some point.

' src=

How do we go in and check the students work? Is this an option?

Easy Peasy doesn’t save any work. We have some suggestions you can use such as having your student keep tabs open for you to check, taking screenshots of their completed activities showing their work on paper, or even just leading questions from you “What did you read?” “What did you learn about in history?” etc. It becomes apparent very quickly what they absorbed and what they might have skipped or blown through even when you’re just asking questions.

Hi, my daughter is doing Bible Prophecy. I cannot find the spot where to type in “parentsonly” for the answers

There aren’t usually password-protected answers in Bible. If the word “answer” is followed by a blank white space, click and drag to highlight the white space and the answer will appear. See the “where are the answers?” question above on this page if I’m not making it clear.

Hello. New to this program and wondering how do I go back to a specific day to check my daughters work if I didn’t have time to check it on that day and is on another day now.

You can click the course title from your parent settings page to go to the entire 180 lessons at any time. Just scroll to the lesson you need to look over.

Easy Peasy is just a curriculum (like a set of books) and doesn’t save any work. That would be up to you/your student to do via screenshots, working on a piece of paper, leaving tabs open, etc.

Can parents remove or move the time for a break button that shows up when the child views their lessons?

No, it automatically goes in the middle of the lessons, putting one more before it if it’s an odd number of lessons. What are you wanting to do? I can put on the feature request list to have a remove option, or let me know what the issue is. I just think it’s great for kids and you can order the courses to what you want done before they get there.

I have a morning time before we do EP and we already have a break . I do think it’s good for kids to have a break I think it just might be good for parents to be able to add/ remove or move it. I love this program thank you.

Hi on the website it says to use the links provided to get the most current books on amazon, instead of searching on amazon. But it only links to Amazon.com and I need Amazon Canada. Any suggestions?

Use the links and then in the link just change the .com to .ca and it will keep the book on the page.

Hi, i signed my daughter up using this curriculum for 7th grade.. when i go to the parent setting all the classes appear but when i go to her profile none of the once a week classes are comming up. Please help im so confused and thank u from the bottom of my heart for this curriculum..

The once-a-week classes will only appear on her page on the day they are assigned. They are based on the day number at the top of her page, not the calendar date. Music appears on days ending in 1 or 6. Computer appears on days ending in 2 and 7. Art appears on days ending in 3 and 8. Thinking appears on days ending in 4 and 9. PE/Health appears on days ending in 5 and 0.

I was wondering how you are able to view that your child scored if they do the assignment online? I want to make sure that I am looking through what my child is working on, in case she’s just moving forward and not learning the concept. We are new to this and I appreciate this curriculum, my daughter really seems to like it, but its important to me to be able to see how she is doing.

I would ask her to keep tabs open or teach her to take a screenshot. Easy Peasy is just a curriculum and has no way of keeping track of what/how your child is doing.

' src=

Quick question: Am I correct in believing that I, as a parent, create one account (email and password), add my child as a student, and then the student logs in with my parent account? and by doing so, he has access to everything I have access to? Is that correct?

You are correct. Your student will click on their name to see their assignments. My EP Assignments is essentially a digital bookmark, keeping track of where you are in the curriculum. It doesn’t keep records, store answers, or anything like that. The worst thing a curious kid could do if they want to your parent settings page would be to “move the bookmark.”

' src=

Under the extras page and add on classes, are you still planning on including a once-a-week class bookmark? Then the parent can choose the day it will only appear, the day they are assigned.

It’s definitely on the list. Maybe we will be able to add that in our spring update.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a place to find printable kids play scripts? I am interested in helping build some reading skills among many others with my 7 year old son, and I thought maybe doing fun easy skits would be helpful for him.

I don’t know one off hand. We have plays in Easy Peasy at the end of Reading Level 3. Here’s one of the ones we link to. Maybe the site has more. https://storiestogrowby.org/play_script/apple-dumpling/

Good Afternoon, I would like to start by saying we love this curriculum and how easy its made homeschooling for our family! We are trying to get some info or help with Level 3 Reading. We have come to a place which has a worksheet * and I am not seeing a workbook or printables for this assignment. I checked in the Language Arts book to see if it was in there and did not see it. I cannot remember which subject we had this trouble with last time, I am thinking it was Art. The website stated the page would be in another printables book and we did not find it. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you for your time and thank you so much for offering this program to everyone! From my family to yours, we hope you have a wonderful weekend!

There is no printables book for Reading 3. If you have the offline Reader, you can just follow the readings in that. If you’re using the online course, you can print as you come to the worksheets or you can just do them on a separate sheet of paper if you don’t have a way to print them. They are not owned by us and not something we can compile and sell.

The art worksheets are included in the history printables books since the art courses go along with history. Or they can be printed from the print page or as you come to them in the course.

Hello. I have an 8th grader that I pulled out of public school this year. When I did the Language Arts assessment and Reading assessment I had to place him in a 5th grade level. He has no knowledge of grammar except what a noun is. He was an honor roll student at school. Obviously there are holes in his education that I need to fix. Going forward for high school next year would you suggest going into level 6 or starting Literature and Composition 1? If I do keep him at level 6 does that still count as credits for high school Language Arts?

(I live in New Jersey which is an easier state as far as homeschool rules go)

Literature and Composition I has a good bit of grammar review if you want to look through it and see what you think. You could always use individual lessons from previous courses for review. Going to the course page and typing Ctrl f and “adverbs” or whatever you’re searching for will show you each instance of it in the course.

I’d also join the high school Facebook group to talk to others who are adjusting courses for their high schoolers.

HI! I am new to homeschooling and i have bought the books with the teachers guild. I was wondering do you all have a book that are for the quiz’s and test to go with the books. Thank You

Algebra 1 has a quiz book. Other than that, any quizzes and tests will just be included in the workbooks. Outside of high school, there really aren’t quizzes and tests in an assessment sort of way. Scroll up to the “where are the tests?” question on this page to read more about that.

i need help looking for what to print out for me to start working on

Most of the assignments are online. If there’s something to print, the directions will let you know, and it will be marked with an asterisk * – just follow the assignments directions step by step each lesson and you’ll be shown exactly what to do, even if there’s nothing to print.

' src=

Most of my zoology classes for 7th right now is printing out stuff and I’ve been having to skip all of them because I have no way to print them I would use my notebook but there’s no day for them

You can either purchase the printables book or just do them in your notebook each lesson as they’re assigned. There are a LOT of lapbooks and projects in Zoology, so I would consider purchasing the book of printables, but if you can’t, just decide what you want to do each day as you come to an assigned worksheet. You can make PowerPoint presentations instead of lapbooks if you can’t utilize the printed pages.

HTML5 lesson 49 lesson video doesn’t work it is just one second? Could this be fixed

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, the video I have saved for that lesson is that one. I’ll remove it from the lesson. The code itself is linked into the lesson.

Hi there! I noticed that at one point, Mrs Giles mentioned having children in college, and one daughter in particular that got into a good art college. Did she have to take the SAT? Math is a challenge anyways, but even more so for the SAT, which includes math skills that haven’t been learned yet in 11th (I’m at Algebra 2). In addition, do you even have to take the SAT to get into test-optional colleges?

My daughter did not have to take the SAT to get into her school, and she got a full scholarship. The SAT goes up through Algebra 2. You’d have to look into specific schools to see what they require. It’s good to take just to keep your options open. My daughter only applied to one school. We believed we knew where she should go, and she applied at 16, so if she hadn’t gotten the scholarship, we would have done another year of high school and looked into other options.

I used the temporary password to get into my account after getting a new computer because our other one had to be factory reset several times and I forgot to write down the password. I forgot what my password and I cant reset my password. clicking the “forgot password” button only gives me a temp one but to actually reset, it seems to require I know the current password which I have forgotten. Is there a way around this?

Use the temporary password as your old password. You have to change it in the same day you receive the temporary password – otherwise you’ll need to go through the temporary password process again.

Hi! I am trying to complete day 31 for my children. Nothing is showing up for their assignments. I clicked ahead several days and there was still nothing for them to do. Is this a glitch?

Hi. I want to sign my boy up he’s in the 8th grade, I was signing him up and realized I have an account from last year when I tried, but I can’t sign in, the password does work, how do I find my password from last year.?

You can use the “forgot password” option to get a temporary password, then log in and change your password to what you want it to be. No records are kept, so it doesn’t need to be an overly secure password. Something easy to remember is fine. I just have my browser save mine.

Is there a possible estimate of when highschool books may become available for purchase? My oldest is currently at level 6 and intends to do the highschool levels too. She tends to do better with actual page work and I’d prefer to just buy the books each year. I will do printing if I must but was just curious.

Other than English and math, we don’t currently have any plans for other offline books. Lit and Comp I and Algebra I are already available in book form, and others will certainly be finished before a 6th grader is in high school, but again, it’s just those subjects, the same as the lower levels.

Thank you so much.

I am not seeing a way to add the Spelling Block to my kids courses. I have looked and looked and can not for the life of me figure out how to add it. Please help. My kids need the extra Spelling but having to help them hunt it down everyday with it not being on their page is frustrating…

You need to add an electives block (either from your unused courses at the bottom of your settings page or from the “extras” page if you’re already using an electives block). Then you need to click “previous course” until you get to spelling. Save and go!

Hello, How do I grade for a 6th and 4th grader? We are using EP for our main curriculum, my 8th grader, I was able to use EP grading scale for 8th grade only, however is there a way to grade for 6th and 4th grade?

We don’t recommend grading until high school when grades are needed for a transcript. A few of our level 8 courses are high school level (Algebra I, Lit and Comp I, and Spanish I), so they include grading sheets and rubrics. Outside of high school, grades are a way for a teacher to communicate to a parent how the student is doing in their class. Since you’re with your student, you know how they are doing. If your child isn’t doing well, you keep going over a concept until they understand it. In that way, they’d always be getting As and Bs.

If you want to grade, you’re welcome to. Scores, attitude, proficiency, etc. can be turned in to grades. But again, there’s really no need before high school.

' src=

Are there answer keys for the free coarse’s?

See the FAQ above ok “where are the answers?” They will be linked right in the assignments where they are available.

' src=

On lesson 38 in biology there were a list of 22 questions. It said to score out of 25 for potential extra credit. It would make more sense if there were more questions… if I got all 22 correct, what do I write down as my score?

Start with 25 points and deduct one for each question you got wrong. That’s what makes it extra credit. If you get them all right, it’s 25/22 points for 3 extra credit points.

On the grading sheet it says that there are 25 possible points.

' src=

Can this curriculum be used for any State?

We have users from every state and many international locations. You’ll just need to know and follow your local homeschooling laws.

' src=

Simply love and appreciate this curriculum except for the fact that the answers are available for the high school students to see.

At the high school level, many of our students are working independently and need to be able to check their work, which is why the answers are available to them. It’s a good integrity-building exercise to talk to your students about not checking answers until they’ve completed the assignment, but if you have a student for whom it is a temptation to cheat, there are lots of ways to get around it. You can open their assignments for them so they don’t see the answer link. You can copy and paste into a word processing document and remove the answer link. You can make them show you their work and how they got the answers they did.

Hi i’m interested in this cirriculum is it accredited?

We tried public school this year for kindergarten. The enrollment process was terrible, but we made it and our son began on 08/30/2021. He went that week and by the end of the week, he was sick. Due to the school’s COVID-19 policy, he had to quarantine for 10 days or take a test so he could return to school. We decided to skip the test and kept him home for the 10 days. He went back to school and within a few days, he got sick again…. Once we finally got him back at school and he wasn’t sick, our 6-year-old son began experiencing a bully/group of bullies.

He would come home and complain that there was a bully at recess who was punching him in his stomach and face. We spoke to the teacher and expressed our concerns. She said she was going to find out WHO the other boy was and watch them. She said that it’s hard for them to leave their siblings (who they wrestle with) and come to school and not want to wrestle because that’s how siblings play. My son doesn’t have siblings and he’s not used to that type of playing.

Well 1 bully turned into multiple bullies pushing my son down the ladder, throwing him in the mulch, calling him names, etc. So, we had enough and decided to withdraw him from the public school setting for this year on 11/10/2021! (What a great birthday gift to my baby boy!)

AND………….

We are absolutely loving this curriculum! That first experience with school left a sour taste in my son’s mouth but we are making the best experience that we can with EP. We just finished reading the book of Matthew! We are on homeschool day #30 (school day #64) and he is just excelling!

He finishes in about 2 hours. We read the Bible in the morning while he eats his breakfast. After we read the Bible we do KinderMath, Sight Reading, KinderWriting, PE/Health, Music & Art, Computer & Thinking. He is having so much fun with his kindergarten year at home and I feel like he is really just moving along quite nicely and doing so well!

I know that he would not be getting a quality education like this in the public-school setting! He had missed 16 days of school and he missed important stuff that the teacher (God bless her, she means well) would not be able to go back with him and work on the stuff that he missed. He was just going to miss out on that part of his kindergarten year…. I was working with him at home but not doing what they do in school.

Thank you so much for providing this curriculum! Words cannot explain how happy and thankful we are for EP!

Thank you, The Hewick Family

There are others with similar stories, both the sick days out and the bullying. I’m glad you found us, and I’m so glad you brought your son home!

We are finding “life” and who knew it would start with my son’s kindergarten class? Everything works out for a reason and I could not have asked for a better gift this year! 2021 is ending with an explosion at the Hewick House! We seriously cannot thank you enough for what you do. You have been SUCH A BLESSING to me and my family! Stay blessed and have a Wonderful Happy New Year!

Hello. At what reading level would you consider each reading course to be on. Having my kids come from public school the readers seem very advanced for their grade level. Thank you.

Since every curriculum is different, we recommend using the placement guides and tests for reading, math, and language arts. We use levels instead of grades. You might find that one 3rd grader is in reading 1, LA 2 and math 4 while another 3rd grader is in level 2 for all three subjects.

If you choose set level and theme in My EP Assignments, it will generate reading, math, language arts, thinking, computer, history, science, Bible, music, art, and PE/health. 5 of those courses are weekly so it will end up being 7 subjects each day. We recommend using the placement guides to find the right level for reading, language arts, and math.

Hello, we are about to go into day 3 of working with the program.

I already know that the site does not keep records for parents to show what is being completed for the year. However, am I at least able to go in and see what my son has completed or not completed for the day?

For example, the first day I worked side by side with him because it was new to both of us. But today I needed to step out of the house for a couple of hours. How can I at least check that he completed the assignments for today and see the areas he got wrong and need help with?

No, nothing is saved. I would tell him to leave tabs open, take screenshots, print things, show work on paper, whatever works best for you. There are lots of ideas in our Facebook support group (linked on the page above).

I am new to homeschooling this year and have been homeschooling my 4 1/2 year old son for about 2 months. I am currently using a Kindergarten primer with Christian LIght and was planning to do a full year of Kindergarten in the fall. I came across your website and was so impressed! I created an account and set him up. My question is should I start the kinder curriculum now and just start over in August or continue what I am doing now and start fresh in August? Just looking for guidance. Thank you for all you do!

If your son knows all letters and sounds, you could start now and see how he does. By August he might be excelling and you can keep moving forward or he might need a refresher and you can start over.

If he doesn’t know all letters and sounds, I would use this time to firm those up. The kindergarten reading course assumes that base knowledge. You can use our preschool course to solidify those if you need to. Welcome!

Can someone help me with this, please? For the most part I can check the answers without clicking on that, but I would like to check something and I can’t get to it. Thank you.

Is the short story competition still going or is it canceled? I’m kind of confused because it says it going but the competition page says there all canceled. Either way thank you.

All of the competitions are currently closed. I think I found the page about short stories and updated that. Thank you.

Are there any lessons, maybe in Health, on puberty/sexual maturation?

There is basic reproduction in the biology courses, but we leave the sex education up to the parents.

Do you offer a boy preschool workbook? I see you have both the April and Abraham the Alligator videos to listen to but when I click on the workbook, I only see April the Alligator coloring and story page.

I just wanted to make sure you know what a blessing this curriculum has been for me and my kids. When I decided to “choose my own curriculum”, I quickIy realized I bit off more than I could chew. Everything was so unorganized no matter how hard I tried- it Anytime I “finally got something figured out” it would always fail one way or another. It would either lead to more work that needed to be done or it would be hard for my kids to follow. There was always something. Anyways it was a true headache until Easy Peasy! My kids wake up and hop on their computer and know exactly what they need to do. One more thing, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING FREE ACCESS! If it wasn’t free then we would not be able to use it, so thank you

Thanks for sharing a bit of your story. Glad you found us!

when do the kids switch over to the next grade ND HOW DO I SEE IT

Does the curriculum start with Preschool and go to 1st grade next? Is there a kindergarten section? ALSO…will the curriculum be available throughout the summer? I want to get started with my son now or do I have to wait until the “next” school year?

There is a kindergarten section. Kinder Math, Kinder Writing, and then Sight Reading and Phonics are the course names or you can just choose kindergarten in My EP Assignments and it will auto-generate those. The curriculum is always available – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Hi. Each time I set my child’s level and theme is does not have it saved when I go to his page. For example, I set it to level 6 and Modern History theme but on the student page it defaults to level 7

Modern History only has two levels: 1-4 and 5-8. So level 6 or level 7 would have the same Modern History course.

If his other courses are showing level 7 instead of level 6 (math, reading, and language arts), be sure you’re selecting “save and go to ___’s page” before checking his page. Also be sure you’re not signed in on multiple devices so that it fully updates before you check his page.

Good Afternoon!

My daughter was in 4th grade in public schools…on an IEP. I am just starting your program. She was reading your 3rd level but she cannot understand what is going on. Please help me choose the right level. I have started level 1 for reading and language. She is at level 3 in math.

Did you use the placement guides? Those will be the best way to tell which level to start with.

my kids school needs proof of work that has been done ive never screened shot anything . is there any other way?

There are things to print in most of the courses throughout the year. Generally they’ll just want a representative sample of each subject. Math would have been worked out on separate paper that could be shown. Most reading courses have you keep a notebook of vocabulary. Science and history have lapbooks and other worksheets. Language Arts has essays and stories that would have been written or typed and several printed worksheets depending on the level. But we don’t have any records on our end if that’s what you’re asking.

Hi! I am looking to homeschool my son, as he has had issues with public schools not helping him with learning disabilities etc. This curriculum was recommended by a friend and I really like what I am seeing. However, we consider ourselves non-denominational. I am wondering if this would still be a good fit without using the bible lessons?

The curriculum is non-denominational, so I’m not sure what your concern is, but the curriculum is set up so that you can add or remove any courses you like. Just click on the X in the corner of the Bible course block on the settings page, and the Bible course won’t show up on the student lesson page.

Hi there. I am unsure of the difference between the workbooks and printable books. Can you please explain this to me? I am particularly looking at math 4. I noticed the workbook note says follow along with the parent guide. Thank you all for everything!

This page (linked below) explains the differences in detail, but basically, the printables are for use with the ONLINE course (they’re the worksheets that need to be printed throughout the course) and the workbook+Parent’s Guide is to make the course completely OFFLINE. Which Books Do I Need?

Where do I find copies of the online work they’ve already done? I’m trying to create a report card, and I didn’t think to keep track of everything as they were doing it. I have 2 school age kids, a toddler, and an infant, so I lose track of things easily.

Easy Peasy is just a curriculum (like a set of books) and has no way of keeping track of anything. There are plenty of things to print, work that would be done on extra pages, etc.

How & where can I down load your Attendance Template?

You can find some parent-created ones on the scope and sequence/printables page of the menu. I’m not sure if they’re what you’re looking for.

Hi, I’m very interested in signing my 11 year old up in this home school program. However I do not want her in any Bible classes whatsoever!!!!!! Are these classes mandatory?

My child took the placement test and placed into language arts Level 4 but Reading Level 1, do these courses follow one another? Would I have to bring her all the way back to LA 1 even though she understands those concepts so she can be on the same level? How does it work when the levels don’t match on the placement for a similar subject ?

The courses can be used independently. You might also look at the placement guides (not just the tests) and see if you think LA 4 and Reading 1 are still the right fit for your child. But you can definitely use them together – Reading and Language Arts were made into separate courses for that exact reason.

Hello. Thanks you so much for this curriculum! Is there any way to find out the history of classes that my child has already done, or those the parent setting only show progress for current classes? My child doesn’t remember if he already did Modern World History 5 to 8th grade. Truth be told, I can’t quite remember myself. Some of the information seems familiar, but we are both unsure. Maybe a feature can be added on parent setting to help track progress for all years and not just current year.

Sorry, no. That isn’t a feature of My EP Assignments. It doesn’t actually keep track of anything, it’s just a digital bookmark keeping your place in the curriculum.

Is there an answer key to the printable worksheets book? How do I know if the answers my child write are correct?

The printables book goes along with the online course. Each time a worksheet is assigned from the book, the answers will be linked there in the lesson online. But there will be many lessons that don’t have a worksheet and are online-only. The printables book is not a complete course by itself.

Is there a placement test for high school? My son should be in 11th but is so far behind in credits he was placed in 9th grade for an online school. It is not a good fit for him and I am exploring different options.

Hi! I started Using this Last year and my kids are taking Spanish this year, is there a Parents guide for that?

You can use “Ctrl f” and “Lesson ___” to jump to the lesson you’re looking for on the page or type in “multiplication” or whatever topic you’re searching for.

You can add courses at any time from your settings page. For spelling, scroll down to unused courses and click on elective. If it’s not there, you’re already using one and you’ll need to go to the extras page and add another elective. Once you have the course block added, use the “previous course” or “next course” button to toggle through the courses until you get to spelling. They’re listed alphabetically for the electives.

Where do I find the Parent Guides being referred to on the login page (more specifically: the guides speaking about spelling words and spelling tests to accompany regular course lessons)?

The parent guides only apply if you’re wanting to work offline. They pair with the offline workbook. You can find them in the EP Store.

The online assignments are complete with no extra guides or books required. The offline books are just a nicety for those who prefer that format.

I noticed that a prereq for high school biology was middle school biology. If my daughter takes Biology 5-8 grade course as an 8th grader would it be okay to move into high school biology the next year? I wasn’t sure if it would be redundant for her two years in a row. Thank you

The high school course will definitely be more in depth. If she doesn’t mind studying the same content two years in a row, it would be fine to do it that way. If she’s had exposure to biology in another curriculum, you could choose a different science for 8th and then biology for 9th. It’s completely up to you.

Hello! My son is working on World History (9-12) and is beginning the unit on the Byzantine Empire, lesson 31. There does not appear to be a set of vocabulary for this unit, but the crossword in lesson 32 seems to be pulling from a vocabulary list rather than from his notes. He did print the notes, but that was only one page, so I wasn’t sure if he missed the link to the vocabulary somewhere.

Thank you for your help. Your site has been a tremendous blessing for our family!

That crossword is just review of what they’ve read in Lesson 31 and 32. The answers will come from the various links they’re reading. If there’s anything they don’t know, they can learn it from doing the puzzle. It’s not for a grade, it’s just a learning/review activity.

My mother tongue is German so I can’t ask my parents either because they didn’t learn native english grammar. Thanks!

I was wondering about how to go back to check work finished and to find out their grade for that work for the day, if applicable. I want to do a spreadsheet to keep track so he can have a report card.

You will need to keep track of any thing you want to keep track of. Easy Peasy is just a curriculum and keeps no records of any kind. You can go back to previous lessons at any time by clicking the course title from your settings page – that will take you to the entire course of lessons.

Could someone let me know if I can shut off the “parents only” answers when I am finished correcting as we will be using the same computer. I reopen my browser to make the answers not accessible, but who I reopen the browser the answers are still accessible.

You’ll need to clear your browser’s history/cache to clear that data that it’s saving. Do you have another browser on the computer? I would check the answers in a browser that isn’t used for school. That way it won’t matter if it saves the password.

How do you see if your child (high schooler) has completed his work? Especially if he closes out the website? I want to make sure he’s not lying to me and telling me he’s done it if he didn’t do it.

You’ll need to work out a system of accountability that works for you. Easy Peasy has no way of keeping track of anything. Some students save screen shots in a folder, leave tabs open, check in after every subject, etc. There’s a file in our Facebook group with more ideas or you could check with our high school group.

I first want to thank you for this program. We started using it for the first time this school year and the children love it and it has made my life so “easy peasy” I am loving it. My question is, I have a child that will be going in the 1st and one going to 6th, I want the oldest to start Physics but, I don’t want to start her at the 5-8 because I am concerned that since she did not do the 1-4 it might be an issue. But, at the same time I do not want to start her at the 1-4 and work her hard to get up to 5-8, any suggestions Also, Is there any way to separate the themes? I would like for the 1st grader to do biology alone with modern history but they are not connected together. Once again, thank you for such a wonderful program. May God continue to bless you.

You can set it up however it works for you.

One idea is to do Physics together with both of them. You can go through the 1-4 stuff all together, or maybe better, have your daughter do it with the younger one as her teacher 🙂 and then she can go off and look at the her own physics materials for the day. That way she would get it all.

But, if you want to have your younger do biology and modern history, just switch the history. Click on Next Course in the history block, right under where it says “Ancient History.” Click it a few times and it will say “Modern History.”

Thank you! This was very helpful.

Hello I’m curious how to grade the assignments on here?

That’s up to you as the teacher. You can grade based on correctness, attitude, etc. We don’t recommend grades until high school when they’re needed for a transcript. All of our high school courses have grading sheets and rubrics to help you. Prior to high school, simply make sure your student understands what they’re learning before moving on – no need for grades!

Thank you so much for the reply!!! 🙂

Hi! For Lit & Comp 1, they suggest that you have a peer editing partner. Is that necessary or is there another way to do that?

You really should have someone giving you feedback about your writing. If you don’t have anyone else, your parent or homeschool guardian could do it. But ideally it’s someone your age or grade.

Hi! A homeschool mom here! It’s not necessary to have a peer to edit your paper but you should have someone look over it if you can to see anything you might have missed. I look over my son’s papers and talk through the edits with him.

hello on certain curriculums it tells me when i am night checking there work from the day that the answers are password protected how can i see the answers to determine if all there work is right ?

Scroll up on this page to the “where are the answers?” FAQ and click on it. That will tell you about the various answer types available. If there aren’t answers linked, there are no answers. You can join the Facebook support group for your level if you have questions about certain assignments and their answers.

Hi there, hope all is well with you and yours. I am just leaving a comment to ask if there was an option to go back and see previously completed days in the EP assignments so that I may print it out to keep for my own records. Thanks!

My EP Assignments is just a fancy bookmark, keeping track of your place in the lessons. It doesn’t keep track of completed assignments. You can click the lesson number from the student page or the course title from the settings page to be taken to the entire course page where the full year of lessons are there for you to peruse. From there you could see previous assignments, but again, not in a completed sense.

i have lower level gradeing questions please

Please feel free to ask your questions. But we don’t encourage grades until they’re necessary for a high school transcript. A grade is a way for a teacher to communicate to a parent how their child is doing. That’s not necessary in a homeschool situation. Just keep with a subject until your child learns it and then move on to the next subject. No reason to continue if they’re not learning like is necessary in a classroom setting.

I have a question pertaining to the PE/Health 2 (9-12).

Why is the course only worth half a credit (.5) instead of a full year credit even though it is 36 weeks long?

Credits are determined by how long the course takes in hours. Generally speaking, 150-180 hours = 1 credit; 75-90 hours = 0.5 credit. Since the PE course doesn’t take 45-60 minutes a day for 180 days, it’s a half credit course.

That being said, you’re the teacher and ultimately get to determine that for your student and your homeschool. You can always add to the requirements of the course to make it a full credit if you want to do that.

Hello, When my child goes into their on line classroom(high school) it doesn’t have the links that are included on my parent page for each day’s lessons. Is this something i can fix?

It sounds like you’ve added once-a-week classes that depend on the day number to show on your student’s page. When your student gets to the correct school day, they will show.

I can’t seem to find the grade sheets for my daughter’s classes. I was able to find and print them when we first started. But I guess I don’t remember where they are. Is someone able to provide those links for me? PreAlgebra, Lit and Comp 1, Spanish 1, bible 1, world history, Biology w/ lab 9-12, PE Health 9-12, drawing professional 6-12. Thanks!

They will be linked each quarter as you need them. So the second quarter’s will be somewhere around lesson 45.

Hi Lee/Easy Peasy,

Does EP provide reading books in PDF for 2nd and 5th grade? Our evaluator asked to have a list of books read during the school year for the evaluation in May. We are traveling and were not able to bring books with us, so we are looking for online, pdf books. Thank you!

Everything you need is free online. It will be linked to daily as you need it for the lessons. You can find a reading list for each course in the course description at the top of the individual course page.

Hi! Do you have any recommendations for a safe search website for kids to use for researching?

This is the one listed in Computer 1: https://m.kiddle.co/

Hello! I had questions about Lit and Comp 1. On lesson 59, I am supposed to write/make a newspaper. Whenever I try to download the newspaper template, it downloads but I can’t use it. Also, what are we supposed to write it about? Thanks, -Grace

This type of question would be easier to handle via email or, even better, in our high school chat group (link on the page above). Number 2 of the day has the assignment with suggested things to write about and the newspaper template is working for me so it’s hard to help you in this type of setting.

' src=

Question? How do I print off my child’s work to put in a folder for my assessor at the end of year?

Easy Peasy doesn’t save any work. Every 40 lessons or so, the child is told to give something to their parent to save for a portfolio. If this isn’t enough for your evaluator, you can save printed worksheets, take screenshots of online activities and print them, have your child write answers in a notebook that can be saved, etc. You can check with your state group (link for all support groups above on this page) to see what your state laws require you to save.

' src=

I had a question about Lit and Comp 1. I am supposed to write a research paper and I am not sure where would be a good place to do the research for that. I am doing it about The Necklace, by the way. Thanks!

You could join our high school group to ask where others have looked for good sources. The course gives some suggestions, and your local library is always a great resource.

Thank you. I will see what I can find. Is the high school group on Facebook?

Yes – all of our support groups are linked on the page above. allinonehomeschool.com/facebook-groups

So I think I’m just missing it? I have a high school junior I’m trying to homeschool and I’m not sure how he’s meant to access his courses?? If I give him the link to the parent page it has links to answers. Any help is appreciated!

From your settings page, click “save and go to _____’s page” to load the student page. From there he can access his assignments.

High School students have access to the answers. If you don’t want your student to access them, be sure to set up expectations ahead of time.

Is there any type of proof of enrollment that we can get to provide proof so that my 15 year old can get his drivers permit?

Please join your state group (all groups are linked on this page) to find out how to satisfy this requirement. Your student is enrolled in your homeschool, so you can legally provide that proof of enrollment.

my student is in 8th grade in all in one homeschool, but is also taking Spanish 1 in all in one high school. is there a way to easily toggle betw her all in one homeschool my ep & her all in one high school my ep?

my student is in 8th grade in all in one homschool, but is also taking Spanish 1 in all in one high school. is there a way to easily toggle betw her all in one homeschool my ep & her all in one high school my ep?

It is all one platform. Simply add Spanish 1 to her student page where her other courses are. Go down to the bottom of your settings page and click on Spanish under unused courses. Then in the Spanish box that it adds, click “next course” until you see Spanish I. If you already have Spanish added, just click next course until you find it – it goes Spanish for level 6, Spanish for level 7, Spanish I, etc.

Hello – I am trying to find out if there is anything I would be able to print from your website at the end of a school year, that would show all the subjects and lessons that my high school student has completed that year through EP – some sort of progress chart / report?? I also would like to know about this for my elementary students as well. Thank you, Kathryn

We have no way of knowing what your student has completed, no. Keeping records is up to you. You can have them screenshot assignments, print things out, work on separate paper, etc. Our high school courses have grading prompts and sheets to be filled out throughout the school year to help with transcripts. But all of that record keeping is on the school end (you), not the curriculum/textbook end (us).

What is the difference between Strong & Healthy, and Strong & Healthy revisited?

They are the same course. You revisit the same course every other year 1-4 and then again 5-8.

Is there a place on this site to view historically completed work?

My EP Assignments is basically a fancy digital bookmark, keeping your place in your lessons as you tell it to move. It has no way of keeping records.

You can go back to previous assignments by clicking on the lesson number or course name which will take you to the full course page. You can scroll up to see all of the assignments you’ve already marked as complete. But it’s just the assignments, not any work that was done on them.

We recommend having your children take screenshots, leave tabs open, work on separate paper, or whatever works best for your family for keeping track of work that was completed.

I have heard very good things about Easy Peasy and decided to give it a try with my 4yo. I have reviewed the curriculum and every printable attached to be sure it was exactly what we needed, and to my surprise, ITS PERFECT! Very easy to follow along with. Now my only question is for the printables, is it best to print one sided or double sided for the preschool printables, since I know some pages are for cutting practice.

You will want the cutting pages to be single- sided. It’s up to you if you want to go through and make notes of which pages those are or just print the whole thing single-sided.

Is there a way to add more than 3 “add-on” courses when setting up my children for the year?

Not currently. Since My EP Assignments is designed to track your EP courses specifically, we only built in 3 add-ons. It takes a lot of server space and expense to house them, so we limited it to 3. You could add another student and have 3 more add ons.

Last year I was able to save pdf that showed each subjects weekly curriculum of sorts where can I find this. I have looked everywhere.

We used to have parent-submitted scope and sequence forms, but they became outdated as the curriculum is ever-evolving. You can check the Facebook group associated with the level or theme you are using to see if any have been uploaded there. Or you can always view every lesson of every course on our website at any time.

' src=

Is there a place where I can find a list of all the courses my children have taken over the years, almost like a transcript?

No, we don’t have a way of keeping any records like that. You could go to the “courses” menu and look through it and see if it sparks your memory as to what they’ve taken.

I am having trouble with the Parent Add Ons buttons. I would like to use some free curriculum that our local school provides for us, but when I add the course (such as “school math”, it does not allow me to edit the button or add assignments, or allow the student to even check-off that they completed it. Is it not possible to input or specify anything but a title and website for Add On courses? Thank you.

The add-ons only allow you to add a link to the thing you’re wanting to add on. We don’t have a way to code other sites to show up in our assignment bookmark tool day by day. It’s mostly just a reminder to do the extra thing. You’ll need to work out a way to have your student know what to do each day for anything that isn’t Easy Peasy.

Hello, if two of my daughters are using this curriculum, can you transfer accounts between devices, or do you have to set up their accounts individually on there own devices?

As long as you create an account (versus entering as a guest), you can log in from any device. It’s one family account for up to 10 students, and it can be logged in on multiple devices at a time.

What credit is foundations 9 ? An elective course?

Elective is fine. Many do half credit study skills, half credit speech.

Good morning! We are in need of some assistance in regards to the lessons not updating daily. I have to constantly change the lesson numbers on both children’s pages. Help please

It sounds like you’re missing the last step of clicking the green checkmark beside your student’s DAY number. Here are the steps to completing a day. If you want to leave a subject undone, follow the steps for completing a partial day at the bottom of the page. http://allinonehomeschool.com/completing-a-day/

Hello, I have a few questions. 1) Do you offer electives? 2) How long does it take to generally cover material for an 8th grader? 3) Do you offer diplomas and/or a ceremony upon graduation? and 4) Do you ever have issues with colleges accepting students for this homeschool program? Thank you!

We have tons of electives. All of our courses can be seen on the two sites under “courses.” An 8th grader will probably take 2-3 hours (it obviously depends on the student). In a homeschool situation, a parent usually issues the diploma. Check your state laws to be sure. We are just the curriculum you’re using so we don’t have any records or diplomas or ceremonies. We’re like the books you’re using. Colleges love homeschoolers. Many of them seek out homeschoolers. Your curriculum isn’t what’s looked at. Your transcript, grades, extra curricular activities, etc. are what they will look at.

Hello! My children and I are really enjoying “Good Moring, Lord.” Not to sound pushy or impatient, but will other devotional lessons/thoughts be posted? I hesitated to ask, because I see the EP site growing, and I have no idea how you do so much work on it and still keep up with your family. Do you sleep? ha ha.

Where are you on the lessons? I write at least 5 new ones each week. I have the 180 lessons posted on the By Way of Reminder page, you can use those as you wait for more. Those are similarly short teachings with audio (really video) available. And I posted a new September study just now and have several of those from past years you can use. And the new discipleship course is awesome. So there is plenty more to use as I keep adding to the Good Morning, Lord! series. And, the regular Bible courses are on the site too! And no, I don’t sleep much. 🙂 But, that’s not really because of work. I maybe take an hour for writing in the early morning. The rest is for devotional time.

' src=

Thank you so much for everything you do! We have just started Psalms. We will take your advice and start one of the other teachings also.

How do I update my children’s grade levels on MyEP? I need to update that information but, I don’t see an option to do that.

You can change the level of any subject on your settings page using the “previous course” and “next course” buttons. Alternatively, you could start completely over using the “set level and theme” option. If your child has finished a level, simply progressing to the next level is a matter of clicking “next course” in each block and then saving the page.

' src=

I was in sixth grade last year how do I go to 7th grade?

You can click “next course” on all of your subjects on your settings page or you can click “set level and theme” and choose the next level you need and a new theme. Either one will work. The first might be easier if you were using different levels for your sixth grade classes.

Does bible count as a credit for high school?

All of our high school courses have suggested credit info at the top of the course page. But ultimately, in a homeschool situation YOU determine what counts for a credit.

My daughters Algebra math course says to record up to 5 points for completing each lesson. I’m not sure I understand?

If she completes the lesson, she gets 5 points. She should be checking her answers and making sure that she understands anything she gets wrong, but her grade is based on doing the work. It encourages mastery without punishing for little mistakes.

As the teacher/administrator, you can grade differently if you choose to. The curriculum is just a guide.

' src=

I have the points set at 20, but my child is receiving more points than that per lesson. How can I fix this?

Your child automatically gets 100 points for each lesson that is marked complete. You can change the total points he has on your settings page, but not the amount of points he receives for marking a lesson complete. You can just adjust any rewards you were offering for the points to 5x whatever you were thinking when you wanted them at 20 and it will be equivalent.

One more question, how do I see what my child has scored on their lessons? Is there a history somewhere? Or do I just have to try and make a note of it when they complete each lesson?

We don’t have a way of keeping track of anything. I have my students check in with me after every activity, keep tabs open until I check them, or take screenshots of what they’ve completed to help me check their work.

Grades aren’t necessary until high school, and grading sheets, rubrics, and instructions are provided in each high school course. But for checking in on them I do what I mentioned above.

My child is wanting to participate in the drama club associated with the local school district here. So, they are asking for quarterly grades. Since we are new to homeschooling, I just want to make sure I can accommodate the request so they can participate. Thank you for the information.

Hi! I just found your program yesterday and to say I am impressed would be an understatement! I have 2 boys; one is 8 and the other is 10. We had been using an online program and it wasn’t up to par in my opinion. It is important to me that they do actual physical writing, so this will be a perfect fit for us! I want to say thank you for putting so much effort into this program. We are taking fall break this coming week, so I will be preparing to begin EP when we come back! Thank you again for all of your hard work!

I don’t want my child to have access to the answers to worksheets but after putting in the password once to look at them it is no longer requiring a password.

On the About – Donate page there is a link to where we share some about our ministry. There’s just a mention of the trip. It wasn’t to accomplish anything, just in obedience.

Hi! We are returning to ep this year for 4th grade. We completed a store bought curriculum and it simply doesn’t compare. Thank you for taking the time and the effort to put these lessons together. We decided to go with the genesis book of Matthew this year, but it occured to me that she was really excited about physics. My brain is all over the place right now so I wanted to verify: will the genesis curriculum cover physics? If not, I assume I can complete physics online and take care of everything else off line? We are in on our summer break right now and will not be starting again until February. Thank you so much!!

There is physics in Genesis Curriculum, but it covers all the branches of science. If you are interested in GC, maybe consider taking these few months and work on just the physics in the online physics course. It’s both physics and chemistry. Let her start working through links and experiments as a fun thing to do over break.

That is a great idea! She would LOVE that! Thank you!!!

How does a parent submit a book or dvd or USB study course? “Parent Provided?”

Where do the assignments go when the day is closed out? My child closed the day before I could see her work. (This is our first day using this)

My EP Assignments does not save any work. It’s essentially a digital bookmark, holding your place in the lessons until you tell it to move. When you mark the day complete, it moves the bookmark to the next day. You’ll need to work out with your child to take screenshots, leave tabs open, work on separate paper, etc. to show work completed.

Hello! I have a question. Many websites for many different subjects take me to the Wayback Machine platform. What is this and why do you use this instead of just the regular websites?

It’s an archive of a link that is no longer available. Sometimes when a heavily used website disappears, we have to add the archive links instead of immediately creating our own just to keep the curriculum flowing for people. We replace the archive links as we’re able but this way there’s no interruption for students using the curriculum.

You’ll need to work out with your child how to keep track of things – have them take screenshots, leave tabs open, work things out on paper. Easy Peasy does not have any way of saving your child’s work. There are more ideas in our Facebook support group linked on the page above.

Hi! I have all classes set and ready to start but how do I set it for student only so he doesn’t get into the parent settings?

It’s just a family account. My EP Assignments is essentially a digital bookmark, holding your place in your courses just like a bookmark would in a book. It doesn’t have extra pages for the parent accessible only via the settings or store any records. The worst your student could do would be to “move the bookmark.” You can easily move it back to where you need it to be.

HI! We are new to homeschooling and we are starting towards the end of the school year. How do we only cover the last 6 weeks worth of material for 10th grade?

You can look through the courses and see where they sort of match up with where they ended in their school topic-wise and just start from there. There might be more than 6 weeks of material left or there might be less – no two curricula are going to line up perfectly. You can decide if you want to double up lessons, skim through and decide if there are lessons you can skip, do some lessons in the summer – it’s entirely up to you how to handle finishing out the courses.

Hi, I graduated in 2020 from easy peasy and lost my diploma how would I go about getting a new one?

Your parent or homeschool guardian would issue you a new diploma just like they issued the first one. We don’t issue diplomas as we’re just a curriculum. You can’t graduate from Easy Peasy since we’re not a school. You graduated from your homeschool.

A diploma is really just a certificate. Your transcript is more likely what you will need in the future for any future education. Both will come from your parent or homeschool guardian who kept your records.

In Lesson 82 of Highschool Oceanography, the answers to 8-10 are in the Tox Town web archive, you just have to go to similar links. For #10 you go to the Wastewater Treatment/Wastewater. #13 was the only one I had trouble with was #13. The Chemicals and Contaminants tab was not working.

A note has been added to that assignment to search other sources for the answers to #8-10. Thank you!

  • “I get a kick out of hearing people say this, but Momaday has been referred to as the Shakespeare of Native American letters. And I think that phrase captures something of his significance, in the sense of a baseline excellence — as a writer. He’s a person with a tremendously imagistic mind, but he loves the voice in what he does. He got his Ph.D. from Stanford and worked on Yvor Winters’s work. So, he studied poetry, and he studied it in a generation when the sound of it was very important — knowing how it sounded as well as it how it could be structured.”  Kathryn Shanley
