Home School Freebies and Curriculum Swap

We are introducing this site to you as a part of Gleaning the Harvest’s Home School Curriculum-Supplies Swap. Please check out our page and see how you can participate in it. I personally have stacks of books that I can give to families who will use it – how about you!? I also know families who are in need of curriculum that may be sitting in boxes in closets, under beds, hidden on bookshelves…

Where are yours?

Home schooling is a very important aspect of Gleaning the Harvest. We are proud to be able to encourage parents to walk in the Word and teach their children apart from the ungodliness of the public school system.

An Old-Fashioned Education

An Old-Fashioned Education is a site that offers links to free curriculum resources as well as a curriculum that Maggie set up herself. Her Old Fashioned Education Curriculum was created using free texts which are available on the Internet. Most of the books were published
before 1923, so they are now in the public domain. Most of the original copyrights have expired, and these books may be used by anyone, any way they like. Most of those whose copyrights are still held allow you to download, print or copy their books free for personal use.

Most of what is listed on her site is free to you. The exceptions are: a few math and science books.

Her stipulation for using her curriculum is this:  “curriculum is free to use and share with others. It may not be bought or sold and no money may be charged for sharing it, not even shipping and handling. If you send it to your sister in Peru, then you must pay for the shipping yourself. This is to ensure that no one profits from my work.”
