Curriculum finder
Tick what matters to you. We match 45 math and language arts programs for grades 3 to 10 on grade, faith or secular, teaching style, your child's needs, budget and parent time, and show what your state asks of homeschoolers. No publisher pays to be listed here.
Subject, grade, a secular choice and a free budget filter the list. Everything else ranks it: each match you tick adds to the fit score, and a program that suits a need you ticked, such as dyslexia or short attention, ranks higher than one that only fits the grade. Facts come from the publishers' own sites and parent reviews, checked in November 2026. Prices change, so check the publisher before you buy.
Point of Progress is an independent practice test and workbook in the style of MAP Growth. It is not a curriculum, it is not affiliated with any publisher listed here, and it does not meet any state's legal testing or evaluation requirement for homeschoolers.
