What Else Should I Use?

Catholic Schoolhouse is designed to be flexible and work with a variety of curricula. You, the home teacher, are the best expert there is to choose resources for your students, and we encourage you to explore and try new things.

Because many families have requested ideas, we have put together this list of possibilities for you.  In addition to this list, the Catholic Schoolhouse Blog posts have ideas, activities, AND recommended books that go with each week of the tour guide.

Don’t be confused! You don’t NEED any of the books below to successfully use Catholic Schoolhouse in your home.  The curriculum is designed to integrate whatever books you already have on the subjects into your homeschool.  If you already have an encyclopedia set, use it! If you already have a nice book about space, use it!  We compiled some of our favorite ‘extra’ books into the list below. If you’re a family starting from scratch, you have some guidance in building your library!
