Frugal or Free Homeschooling Resources

One of the most common misconceptions about homeschooling is that it is extremely expensive.  While there are certainly some pretty pricey curriculums and tools out there the fact is that many people homeschool on a tight budget.

I homeschooled two children for only $250.00 Canadian. It can be done. (click here to read how)

One way you can save money homeschooling is by picking up and using free or low-cost resources. The downside being it takes more planning, research, and gathering.

Below I am sharing free or frugal resources I have discovered around the web.
