Free Sample Curriculum Map

Free · A real customized curriculum map · Read the whole thing

See what a curriculum built for one child actually looks like.

Before you spend $49 on a map for your kid, read one. This is a complete map for a third grader named Ruby: who she is, subjects and level, pace, what fits, what to skip, and how her week runs. Ruby is a composite so no real family is on the page. Everything else is the real thing.

It arrives in about a minute. You will also get new blog posts when they go up. One-click unsubscribe, always.

Something hiccuped on our end. Try once more, or email support@nextchapterhomeschool.com.

What is in it

  • Who Ruby is: what she loves, what she is good at, what makes her cry, and the family's real week
  • What the term is for, in three sentences, not a standards list
  • Every subject: where she actually is, what we use, and why
  • The ninety-minute day, block by block, including what Grandma runs
  • What fits and what to skip, including the boxed curriculum we would not buy
  • The first four weeks, laid out

It is on its way. Check your inbox in a minute (and the promotions tab if you use Gmail).

If you read it and think "that is my kid, but different," that difference is the whole point. The $49 map is built around your actual child, or talk to Scott first, free.

Why a sample and not a sales page

Because "customized curriculum" is a phrase everyone uses and almost nobody shows. A map is a specific thing: a written plan you can run on Monday. The only honest way to sell it is to hand you one and let you decide whether it is what your child needs.
