How We Work
We believe parents deserve honest, transparent information. Here's exactly how we research, verify, and present curriculum data.
We Research
Every curriculum in our database goes through a multi-source research process. We don't just scrape websites—we dig deep.
- Publisher websites — Official product info, pricing, scope & sequence
- Expert reviews — Cathy Duffy, Rainbow Resource, trusted educators
- Parent communities — Real feedback from homeschool forums and groups
- Direct testing — When possible, we get hands-on with the materials
We Verify
Data quality matters. We tag every piece of information with its source and confidence level.
Publisher Verified
Data confirmed directly with the publisher. Highest confidence.
Editorial Research
Our team researched and verified from multiple trusted sources.
Community Sourced
Aggregated from parent reviews. Helpful but verify before deciding.
We Stay Honest
Our ratings aren't for sale. Ever. Here's how we keep things fair:
- No pay-to-rank — Publishers can't buy better ratings or placement
- Affiliate disclosure — When we earn from a link, we tell you
- Source links — Every rating dimension links to supporting evidence
- Date stamps — We show when data was last verified
Our Commitments
The promises we make to every family who uses CurriculumFinder.
Accuracy Over Speed
We'd rather have less data that's right than more data that's wrong. Quality first.
Show Our Work
Every rating, every claim—we'll tell you where it came from so you can verify.
Parent-First Always
Our job is to help you decide, not to sell you something. Your trust matters more than revenue.
Keep It Current
Curricula change. Prices change. We commit to annual reviews and quick updates when things shift.
Our Trusted Sources
We cross-reference our research with these respected voices in the homeschool community.
