Our 2022-2023 Homeschool Curriculum Choices for Elementary through High School

This is my 17th year of homeschooling (if I count when I started kindergarten with my oldest), and every single year is different! I love it because it always keeps me on my toes and my kids and I don’t get stuck in a rut. Join me today to see my 2022-2023 homeschool curriculum choices!

I’ll have five kids at home homeschooling for 2022-2023, and the oldest of that group will be graduating in May.

One of my best tips is that I try to combine kids/grades/subjects together as much as possible because:

the more, the merrier!
simplification
accountability
to have an audience

Our Homeschool Verses of the Year:

The homeschool verses of the year for 2022-2023 are:
Hebrews 12:1- “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.”
James 1:19-20 ” Be quick to hear, slow to speak , slow to anger, for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”
Romans 12:2 “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
