How It Works

Free Curriculum Guide > How It Works
Welcome to Total Home Makeover's  free online PreK-12 Classical Core Curriculum for Christians.*
Before you begin, please read the licence agreement and the following below:
​(1) How It Works, (2) Program Overview, ​(3) Sample Schedule, and (4) How do we select books?   ​
Preface
My prayer is that every child in America receives an education with a solid foundation, the Bible, which leads to eternal life. Educational reform has been happening in our country, with two movements, Charlotte Mason and Classical, both of which were birthed, not in colleges, but in the homes of America, by mothers, with much success! After leaving teaching for a higher calling, motherhood, I began our homeschool in 2011. I learned about the classical method from Susan Wise Bauer , the Charlotte Mason method from Karen Andreola, how to make a family together schedule from Sonya Shafer , and how to make it affordable from Miss Maggie, all to whom I thank!
​Without the Bible, methods are empty, so together, with prayer, I present our curriculum for the children’s sake. 

How It Works

​​Can I do just one program of study? Yes! Program 3: Individual Study is a full, grade-level curriculum adapted from the Old Fashioned Education to make it affordable and to preserve this wonderful resource!

All of our Lesson Handbooks contain a 4-day weekly schedule with built-in margin for outing, field trips, cottage schools, co-ops, living library trips, project days, or anything else you wish to plan. 
*Suggested time is a general estimate; Individual Study times vary per grade-level. 
*We invest in children, not methods, however, we utilize Classical, Charlotte Mason, Old-Fashioned - all to instill a love of learning!

How do we select our books?

We carefully select each book to meet the following criteria:   
  1.       Bible-based textbooks teach truths from God’s word.
  2.       Living books bring the studies to life.
  3.       Beautifully written and illustrated books[1]
  4.       Affordable for all families[2]
  5.      Available handbooks that are in-print[3]

[1] Books should be beautiful and of high quality in text and illustration; that's why we select many old-fashioned books.
[2] Books should be sold based on actual value of printing (price per page) to meet consumer need not producer want for profit margin.  10% or less are consumable, so most books can be resold.
[3] Books should be handbooks, but for economy’s sake, most are also available for free online reading.
