Best Secular Homeschool Curriculum

Programs that teach the subject without religious content. Worth distinguishing from neutral: a neutral program simply does not raise religion, while an explicitly secular program is written to teach mainstream scientific and historical consensus. For math and language arts the distinction rarely matters. For science and history it usually does.

Because the homeschool publishing market grew out of the faith-based homeschool movement, and many of the best known programs integrate Christian content. That has changed a lot in the last decade, and the secular options now include some of the strongest programs available, but you still have to filter rather than picking from the front shelf.

In math and often language arts, yes, since the religious content is usually limited to word problems and reading passages. In science and history it is generally not practical, because the worldview shapes the actual content rather than sitting on top of it. Check a sample before assuming you can edit around it.

Usually yes, though it depends on the specific umbrella school or state program. Umbrella schools with a religious mission may require faith-based materials. State ESA and scholarship programs generally approve vendors on educational rather than religious criteria. Confirm with your specific program before purchasing.
