SchoolhouseTeachers.com
by The Old Schoolhouse (website )
A comprehensive Christian online platform providing over 400 courses for Pre-K through 12th grade for one family price.
Best Fit For
Large families looking for a cost-effective, all-in-one solution and students who enjoy a variety of learning styles and niche elective subjects.
Not Recommended For
Families seeking a secular curriculum or those who prefer a single, linear, and highly structured 'box' curriculum with uniform formatting across all subjects.
What Reviewers Say
Reviewers consistently celebrate SchoolhouseTeachers.com as one of the best values in the homeschool market, offering over 400 courses for a single family subscription. Cathy Duffy and The Homeschool Mom highlight the platform's incredible flexibility, allowing parents to mix and match courses to fit each child's needs. However, a common trade-off noted in community discussions (such as Reddit and specialized forums) is the lack of a cohesive 'flow' or unified aesthetic, as courses are created by dozens of different teachers. This can lead to a fragmented experience if used as a primary curriculum without careful curation. While highly praised for electives and supplemental content, some users find the sheer volume of choices overwhelming and the website navigation sometimes cumbersome. Overall, it is viewed as a robust, faith-based 'buffet' of educational resources.
How It Works
Parents begin by logging into a central dashboard to select specific courses from a library of over 400 options, printing out the provided PDF lesson plans and checklists to keep track of assignments. A typical day involves the student reading online text or watching video lessons at the kitchen table, then completing associated worksheets or hands-on projects. Most individual subject sessions take 30 to 60 minutes, with the parent acting as a facilitator who reviews completed work and checks it against the provided answer keys. Because the platform is a 'buffet' of resources, the weekly routine is entirely up to the family; some use it for every subject, while others log in just once or twice a week for specialized electives like art or computer science.
Switching to This?
SchoolhouseTeachers.com does not offer a single, unified placement test because the platform consists of hundreds of different courses from various authors. Instead, parents are encouraged to review the 'Scope and Sequence' and 'Course Checklist' documents for each individual subject to see which level aligns with their child's current knowledge. Most families start by browsing the 'Quick Links' for their child's grade level and choosing one or two familiar subjects to get a feel for the different teaching styles before committing to a full-time schedule. Because it is a subscription-based service with immediate access to all content, families can easily start mid-year without having to wait for a new semester. If you are switching from a structured 'all-in-one' box curriculum, expect to spend your first few weeks acting as a curator, as you will need to manually decide which courses create a cohesive schedule for your child.

"This makes it a one-stop (and one payment) shop for absolutely EVERYTHING you need to homeschool your entire family — except paper and pencils, of course."

A former professional teacher praises the detailed lesson plans and high-quality electives, noting the platform's low-risk flexibility which allows parents to easily swap courses that aren't a good fit.

How This Compares
Compared to Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool, which provides a free but very rigid daily path, SchoolhouseTeachers requires a subscription but offers much more variety and advanced elective depth for high schoolers. When weighed against Time4Learning, which is a secular and largely automated system that handles grading, SchoolhouseTeachers is explicitly faith-based and requires parents to be more hands-on with planning and assessment. Parents often compare it to Abeka Academy; while Abeka offers a highly polished and traditional 'school-at-home' experience with a consistent look, SchoolhouseTeachers is more fragmented and eclectic, making it better for families who want to customize their child’s learning style. Against Sonlight, which is famous for its massive boxes of physical books, SchoolhouseTeachers is a digital-first platform that is significantly more affordable for large families but requires the parent to handle their own printing. Finally, compared to Power Homeschool (Acellus), SchoolhouseTeachers focuses more on printable resources and varied media rather than a strictly video-and-quiz format, which helps reduce total student screen time.
