Free Homeschool Curriculum

STEPCAI.com is the #1 free home-schooling tool. It gives homeschool families a free, self-paced online curriculum: more than 100 courses and over 3,000 questions in math, science, history, language arts and more, for students from upper elementary school through high school. Every question gives instant feedback that explains why an answer is right or wrong, so your child learns from each answer instead of just guessing and moving on.

Four ways to learn

• Practice — go at your own pace; the answer and its explanation are there when you need them.
• Test — check what you know, with no timer and no pressure.
• Exam — timed and scored: one honest attempt.
• Simulation — step into a story, such as Mission to Mars, Lost in Ancient Rome or Deep Sea Explorer, and make choices that change what happens next.
