The list below is subject to change prior to the start of the school year, based on stock and ongoing development.

 

The books listed here correspond with the daily lesson plans, but if you want to swap one out or add another, go ahead. Portals allows you to do your own thing while staying on pace. Annual overview is provided upon purchase, lesson plans are delivered weekly. 

​

We encourage shopping online for cheaper used books or working with your local library. If you prefer new books, you'll see an option for the full set on the registration page. We also save money by using digital documents when possible, you can print as you see fit, or work on screen, and not pay for shipping unnecessary paper.

​

Math and Language Arts are selected based on learning level of the student.
