Faith Based Homeschool Curriculums?

[chely7425]

I am not sure if this is the right place to put this but I figured you guys might have some thoughts. We are still a bit away from this (DS1 is 17.5 months and DS2 is 3.5 months) but we are going to homeschool. I am trying to start researching homeschool curriculums and I figure I can spend a bit on it because we will use it for all our kids. I would like one that is very good on academics but also emphasizes Christ and our faith and morals. I have heard of Sonlight (I think?) any others? TIA ladies!!

We are planning to use Ambleside Online. It does specifically leave time for teaching about religion, and it is based on a Christian understanding of education and what our purpose is as human beings, But it doesn't try to make every subject directly tied to religion unless it makes sense, which is fine by me. It's also very inexpensive to use.

That looks great!! I definitely need to do a bunch of research before I pick something... but I like inexpensive!!

I believe the designers are Protestant, but it is quite easy to use different texts than the ones they recommend as you see fit. The main thing is to use real books rather than textbooks.
