Frequently Asked Questions

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 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: Not at all. Most lessons use online activities, videos, and worksheets that don’t require extra materials. Some projects do call for common household items—things like paper towels, measuring cups, or cardboard you likely already have on hand. Worksheets may also need simple school supplies such as pencils, crayons, or scissors.

Q: How much does the curriculum cost?

A: Our core curriculum is always FREE to access online. We believe every family should have access to quality education without breaking the bank. To support the site, we will display ads and recommend helpful resources (some free, some paid). These ads will not be displayed on the students daily curriculum page. For families who want extras—such as printable books, test results, or progress tracking—we’ll eventually offer affordable premium/freemium options. That way you can choose what works best for your homeschool.

Q: Do you offer refunds on paid products?

A: Because our products are digital and provide instant access, we do not offer refunds. To help you feel confident before purchasing, we provide some FREE mini-lessons so you can experience our approach firsthand. If you encounter any issues accessing your purchase, please CONTACT us, and we’ll work with you to resolve the problem quickly.

Curriculum

Q: When will the curriculum be available?

A: Our curriculum is currently being developed and tested. We aim to have Grades K–4 ready for the 2026 school year, with grades 5-8 completed by June of 2027. As lessons are finalized, we’ll roll them out gradually. We’ll share updates along the way, so families always know what’s available.

Q: How does the online curriculum work?

A: All Ways Ed is a completely online homeschool curriculum. Families can access lessons directly from our website. There are no special software or downloads required. Each grade is organized by day, and every lesson is designed to support different learning styles (Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic). You’ll also find links to helpful resources, optional worksheets you can download, and activities you can adapt at home. Because everything is online, updates and new lessons are added regularly, so your curriculum stays fresh and complete without you needing to buy new editions.

Q: What subjects are included?

A: Each grade includes Math, Reading, Language Arts, Science, History, Physical Education, and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). 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.

  • Grades K–2: Daily micro teach-backs (1–2 sentences, a drawing, or a quick demonstration).

  • Grades 3–4: Friday mini-presentation on one subject.

  • Grades 5+: Weekly “teach a lesson” project, including planning, preparing, and presenting.

• Four learning styles (our unique system).
  This layered approach is what makes us different, by giving 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 you have a high school curriculum?

A: Yes, but it will look a little different than traditional high school. We’re planning something special: a program that blends core academics with hands-on pathways into real careers. Instead of only following the typical high school model, students will be able to choose from focused trade tracks and begin building skills for dual enrollment into trade schools or career programs.

We plan to start with four core trade pathways (such as healthcare, technology, skilled trades, and creative industries) and expand as we grow. This approach gives students the chance to graduate not only with knowledge, but also with a practical head start on their future.

Q: Will this meet state requirements?

A: Yes. Our curriculum is designed to align with recognized educational standards. Including Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English and Math, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS). These standards provide the framework that most states use to define what students should learn each year.

Because every state has its own homeschool regulations, we encourage families to check their local requirements. All Ways Ed lessons are built to cover the core expectations while also offering flexibility and enrichment, so families can easily adapt to their state’s rules.
