1. Review syllabi, scopes and sequences, curricula.

2. Purchase or make your own curriculum.

 

Some syllabi/courses of study to start with:

 

 

Secular:

 

World Book Course of Study.

Lists courses of Study for preschool - 12th grades. Not extremely detailed but a good starting point, insha Allah.

(Links to the course of study for individual grades can be found below in the By the Grade Sections

Islamic:

 

• IBERR Islamic Studies Syllabi (Grades 1 - 12)

• Bureau of Islamic and Arabic Education (BIAE) (PreK -8)

• Islamic Education Foundation  K - 12)

 

(Please note, I found each of these very helpful, but I did come across a few things in the IBERR syllabi that I had not heard of and in the Islamic Ed foundation, something that I learned was an innovation) but overall, they were a great help so I am including them. Also note, I am not  endorsing the book lists found in any of the syllabi, as I came across a few questionable authors. I try to stick with the Quraan and works from scholars as much as possible to base our own studies upon and personally do not use the book lists given although, most or some may be appropriate, Allahu ilm.  TJ is working on an Islamic Curriculum of its own---sample-Kindergarten curriculum

 

Research Homeschooling Methods - (not necessary, but helpful)

 

There are several homeschooling approaches that most homeschoolers tend to follow:

Charlotte Mason Method Waldorf Education Method Classical Education Method Traditional Homeschooling (aka School at Home) Eclectic Homeschool Method Unit Studies Montessori Homeschooling   Distance Learning Unschooling

 

 You may find that you like elements from more than one method. We are "eclectic" homeschoolers (if you want to use labels) as we borrow methods from a variety of homeschooling methods.
