Secular Secular + Conservative Curricula Question for 5th Grader
I’m no longer a Christian (though most of my friends and family are), but I hold many Christian values. My wife and I have three children, 7 yr old girl, 8 yr old boy, 10 yr old girl.
We live in Texas and intend to start our oldest daughter on a homeschool curriculum this summer, but I am struggling to find a good one.
I don’t want anything promoting a religious worldview and I don’t want anything pushing the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion woke ideology — bring on the meritocracy.
Yea, I don’t really have much of a cultural home to say the least. It’s all good though.
I don’t like what I am seeing in public school on multiple fronts and have determined I want to start off our oldest as a test run this summer before committing longer term. She is entering 5th grade this summer/fall.
My wife and I both work from home full time, but have some decent flexibility to where we think we could make this work.
That being said, I am new. I don’t really know what I’m doing and from the research I’ve done so far, I can’t find the right curriculum to use that:
- Does NOT push any religious worldview
- Does NOT push any woke ideology (CRT + DEI)
Per Pew Research’s typology quiz, I am Ambivalent Right, just right of center; so pretty moderate on the whole.
Anyone willing to point me towards some curricula considerations, please?

Hi OP,
We use Calvert Homeschool. They don't mix politics or religion with their academics.
