      I haven't used this curriculum yet but for the sample I found online and the people opinion on the video seems great and lots of fun for the kids. I would love to try it for next year for my kids. I specially love the creativity part. The video even called the attention of two of my kids who said they would love to try this curriculum.

      I would describe it to a friend as a fun, creative way for kids to learn an excel in their academic pursuits.

      I've been looking at Oak Meadow as a potential curriculum for years. I would describe it a gentle method of teaching your kids.

      I've never tried Oak Meadow but it looks really neat! I love the aspect of educating a child whilst being creative. I foster creativity in our home, so this looks like an approach I'd be willing to try with my girls.

      I would describe Oak Meadow as a natural way to teach and learn, which is exactly why we plan to use Oak Meadow when we begin homeschooling in the fall.

      Our family is new to homeschooling (started with our 6th and 7th grade daughters at the beginning of the year, so we are still trying out a lot of material for curriculum. We are not familiar to Oak Meadow yet, but would love to add it to our growing collection. Based on what I viewed on in the video, Oak Meadow allows the student to explore creativity but still maintain some structure. Also flexibility and freedom with the way subjects are approached.

      So pick me! Pick me!

      Shared on Facebook. This is our first year with Oak Meadow and we are looking forward to using it again next year for 6th Grade. My dd11 loves the history and science.

      Oak meadow Curriculum allows for a meaningful learning process by engaging the child's heart, body and minds. It covers a variety of subjects with an interdisciplinary approach that works well with each individual child's needs and abilities.

      I am a first time homeschooler for my child who will be starting Kindergarten this fall. I have been researching curricula for my child, and Oak Meadow is at the top of my list. That said, I would love to win the first year for free! I have already recommended it to a friend that homeschools, and I told her that it was a curriculum that embodied everything that homeschool is about. Oak Meadow is creative and interesting, and it fosters in children an excitement for learning, creating, and doing. With this type of learning, children become like a sponge and absorb everything! That creativity and hands-on touch to the program is the very reason that Oak Meadow is my first choice for my son's first year of education.

      Oak Meadow teaches while allowing the child to be creative and enjoy the learning process. Will also share on Facebook. Thanks for the opportunity.

      After watching the video and looking through the samples, I see Oak Meadow as a free flow, nature based art-tastic curriculum that would really fit my oldest sons needs.

    Well, hello there :)

    Hi! Hope you don't mind my posting, as my husband and I do not have children yet. We hope to start a family soon. I have longed to homeschool since I was in high school. Substitute teaching in public

    Why do I homeschool my child when I could probably get him into one of the best private schools in the state (where I used to teach), or send him to the public school? A few reasons. First is the...
