Homeschool Overview

Complete Year-Long Homeschool Curriculum

Spanish & French, designed for independent learning.

Written by educators with over thirty years in the language classroom. This is a structured, sequential program that teaches core skills — real grammar, reading, writing, and speaking — not just vocabulary lists. Students work through lessons on their own, while pacing guides and answer keys keep your studies on track. Parents do not need to know the target language.

The four-year pace

Middle school + introductory high school

Or, the three-year pace

High school

  1. Level 1
Beginner "B" leads to Level 2
  1. Level 2Intermediate
  2. Level 3Advanced

Both paces cover the same ground — the four-year sequence takes the beginner material in two unhurried years before Level 2, while the three-year sequence covers it in one. Not sure which fits? Tell us what your student has studied and we'll help you place them.
