Under the Home: price, grades, and fit

Under the Home publishes a free online curriculum. The curriculum page says it seeks to give families free, ad-free online access to music, art, narrated poetry and prose, texts, teaching guides, and printouts. It says all digital curriculum materials for the topics it provides are included, and that there are no additional textbooks to purchase besides typical school supplies, inexpensive art supplies, printer ink, and paper. It says there are 52 courses in grades K–4, on a 36-week schedule, except phonics, reading, writing, and mathematics, which move when a child masters the lesson. The homepage grade menu also lists Fifth, beside Kindergarten, First, Second, Third, and Fourth, and it lists subjects including art, history, geography, grammar, American history, world history, math, music, phonics, poetry, prose, reading, science, Shakespeare, studio art, and writing. The K–4 course-count sentence and the Fifth menu item are both recorded. They are not the same claim. The matcher uses kindergarten through grade 5 so the Fifth menu is not hidden. The starting figure is $0 for the digital materials. Printing and supplies can still cost money. A copyright line says 2023. A faith statement was not on the pages checked. Accreditation is n/a. A parent teaches. Our involvement estimate is high.

Where this listing sits

Under the Home is filed under free curricula. People also search Under The Home. The directory name and the URL stay stable so an old link still lands here. CurriculumQuiz does not invent its own star score, run a parent poll, or sell a review. Third-party ratings quoted below stay in that section. Numeric ratings are combined into the independent average that orders program lists. That average is not a fact in the list above, and it is not a CurriculumQuiz score.

The price, read carefully

The official page presents Under the Home as free, so the starting figure is $0.00. Free means the published plan is not a tuition bill. It does not mean a year of homeschooling costs nothing. Books on a list, printing, supplies, and a device can still cost money. Source: official price page, checked October 24, 2026.

Grades

Under the Home is listed for Curriculum page: 52 courses in grades K–4. Homepage menu also lists Fifth.. In the quiz, that span is treated as grades 0 through grade 5. A program can still place a child by skill rather than age. Use the provider’s placement test when one exists, and do not force a level because of last year’s grade.

Accreditation and faith

Accreditation is recorded as “n/a.” This listing is not marked as an accredited school. Many families use curricula that are not schools and keep their own records. That is a legal and practical question for your state and for any school you might transfer back to, not a quality score. See what accreditation does and does not mean.

Faith stance: not stated. The page we checked did not clearly say secular, Christian, or Catholic. We will not assign one from reputation. If worldview matters in your house, read a sample chapter and the publisher’s own about page.

How the day is shaped

Free

Free, as a style tag, means the provider publishes materials without a tuition charge. You may still buy paper, a device, or the books on the list. For Under the Home, the tag is a filing label from the official description, not a review of how your child will feel on a Thursday.

Literature-based

Literature-based programs teach through real books. Read-aloud time is usually part of the day. For Under the Home, the tag is a filing label from the official description, not a review of how your child will feel on a Thursday.

Parent-directed delivery means a parent sets the pace and is usually in the lesson. Parent time is our estimate: high. A parent teaches, reads aloud, or guides the conversation most days. We estimate that from the program type (parent-directed books, living books, or mastery lessons), not from a stopwatch. If that is the part of homeschooling you want, this shape can fit. If you need the program to run while you work a shift, look at listings with a low estimate and then read their delivery tags.

Who it may suit

• You are willing to read the publisher’s own words about faith, because the page we checked did not state one.
• You want to teach, read aloud, or sit in the lesson.

Who may want a different listing

• You cannot be the teacher on a normal week.
• You need an accredited diploma and this listing does not record one.

These notes come from the type, the style tags, and the faith and accreditation fields. They are not a quality review. A program can be a poor fit for your week and still be well made.

What the official site itself describes

Recorded from the official site on October 24, 2026: The curriculum page says 52 courses in grades K–4 on a 36-week schedule, except phonics, reading, writing, and mathematics, which are mastery-paced. The homepage grade menu also lists Fifth. Those are two different sentences. A copyright line says 2023. This sentence is a quotation of what we could verify. It is not a full catalog, and it is not a recommendation.

Questions to ask before you pay

• Does the price you were quoted include every subject, shipping, and a second child, or only the example on this page?
• Is there a placement test, and what happens if your child lands in a different level than their age?
• Who keeps grades and transcripts, you or Under the Home? That answer matters for your state’s official rules.
• What is the refund or trial window, in the provider’s own words?
• On a normal Tuesday, how many minutes is a parent in the lesson?

What we are willing to leave blank

Still unknown after the October 24, 2026 check: a stated faith stance. Unknown is a result. It is not a blank we fill in to make the table look finished.

How to use this page with the quiz

The curriculum quiz ranks Under the Home against the other 108 listings using your grade, style, time, budget, faith, accreditation need, and pace. Your state adds a link when we have an official source. It does not change the score. You can also put this program next to others in the compare tool. Families often look at AmblesideOnline, Discovery K12, Khan Academy in the same category. For the wider decision, read how to choose and the cost guide.
