About All Ways Ed
Q: What is All Ways Ed?
A: All Ways Ed is a full K–12 homeschool curriculum built on the belief that every child learns differently. Each lesson includes four paths - Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic so parents can teach in the way their child learns best.

Q: Is All Ways Ed a religious curriculum?
A: No. All Ways Ed is a secular curriculum. We focus on providing a strong academic foundation across subjects like math, reading, science, and history. Families are welcome to add their own spiritual or faith-based studies alongside our program if they wish, but our lessons themselves are designed to be neutral and accessible to all families.
Q: Do I need a teaching degree to use your curriculum?
A: Not at all! Our lessons are written to be open-and-go, with clear parent prep guides, materials lists, and daily flows.
Mini-Lessons
Q: What are Mini-Lessons?
A: Mini-Lessons are small, themed units you can use right away. Perfect for trying out our program or adding variety to your current homeschool. Topics include biographies, science explorations, and history snapshots.
Q: Are Mini-Lessons free?
A: Some Mini-Lessons will be free downloads, and others will be low-cost packs. All are designed to show you how simple and engaging our approach is.
Learning Styles
Q: How do I know my child’s learning style?
A: Each of our four learning paths is explained in detail on our site. Many kids show a mix, and that’s okay! With All Ways Ed, you can try them all and see which works best.
Q: Can I just use one path?
A: Yes! You can focus on one, or mix all four. We give you color-coded activities so you can choose what works best for your child.
Access to Materials
Q: How will I access the lessons?
A: Lessons will be available as downloadable PDFs (printable at home) and, eventually, in print format through our store.
Q: Do I need to print off everything?
A: No. Our parent guides can be viewed digitally, but the student worksheets and resources are designed to be printed. Once you purchase a grade level, you’ll have unlimited access to it. So you can choose to print everything at once and set it up in a binder, or print materials as you need them throughout the year. Many families like keeping a binder since our curriculum is laid out day by day, but the choice is completely yours.
Q: Do I need internet access every day?
No. While you’ll need internet to download the curriculum, once you’ve saved the files you can print or view them offline at any time.
Parent Support
Q: Will there be a support group for parents?
A: Yes! We’re starting a social media–based homeschool parent community where you can connect, share, and learn with others. Be sure to also check out our Helpful Resources section for more general homeschool connection spaces.
Q: Do you offer help with homeschooling laws or reporting?
A: We’ll provide general guidance and portfolio tools, but for specific state requirements you’ll need to check your local homeschool laws (see the HSLDA State Laws Map).
Cost & Supplies
Q: Will I need to buy expensive books or supplies?
A: No. At All Ways Ed, we intentionally design lessons around open-source materials and low-cost resources. Many books and references are freely available online or can be found at your local library. If something special is needed, we’ll let you know well in advance so you have plenty of time to borrow, print, or gather it. Most supplies are everyday household items like paper, scissors, crayons, and rulers.
Q: Will I need lots of supplies?
A: Most lessons use common household items (paper, scissors, crayons, rulers, etc.). Each day comes with a “Parent Prep” list so you know exactly what to gather in advance.
Q: How much does the curriculum cost?
A: Our full curriculum will be available for $75 per grade level. We believe every family should have access to quality education without breaking the bank, so we keep our pricing affordable and straightforward. Once purchased, you’ll have everything you need. No hidden costs or upsells.
Q: Is $75 per grade a fair price for homeschool curriculum?
A: Yes! On average, a full-grade curriculum can cost $200–$700, not including supplementary activities or materials. We’re offering ours at $75 because we strongly believe in making quality education affordable. To help families further, we:
-
Use open-source and free library resources wherever possible.
-
Alert you in advance for special materials, many of which are common household items.
-
Provide full four-style lesson pathways at this lower cost. Something that’s unique at this price point.
Q: Do you offer refunds?
A: Because the curriculum is a digital product with instant access, we do not offer refunds. However, we provide free mini-lessons so you can experience our approach before purchasing.
Curriculum
Q: When will the curriculum be available?
A: Our K–2 curriculum launches in June 2026, with more grades rolling out in the years that follow.
Q: What subjects are included?
A: Each grade includes Math, Reading, Science, and History, with extras like journaling, hands-on projects, and family connection activities. Middle school will add electives, and high school will feature a special program to meet older learners’ needs
Q: What teaching method does All Ways Ed use?
A: Instead of following just one traditional homeschool method, we’ve developed a multi-style, layered approach:
-
Structured lessons for clarity and flow.
-
Hands-on projects influenced by unit study and Montessori methods.
-
Teach-back reflection inspired by Charlotte Mason’s narration.
-
Four learning styles (our unique system).
This layered approach is what makes us different — it gives every child a way into the lesson.
Q: How long does each day of lessons take?
A: On average, daily lessons take 2–4 hours for elementary grades. Families can move at their own pace and adjust based on their child’s needs.
Q: Will this meet state requirements?
A: Yes! We base our lessons on state and national standards while also building in flexibility, so you can adapt them to your child and your state’s homeschool reporting needs.
Q: What do I need to do to homeschool in my state?
A: Every U.S. state has its own homeschool laws and requirements. Some may ask you to file a notice of intent, keep a portfolio, or do yearly assessments, while others have fewer regulations. Check the HSLDA State Laws Map to see what your state requires.
