How We Work
We believe parents deserve honest, transparent information—not marketing spin. Here's exactly how we research and present curriculum data.
We're Building This With You
CurriculumFinder launched in early 2026. Create an account to save curricula, leave reviews, and tell us when something's broken or confusing. Your feedback shapes what we build next.
We Research
Every curriculum in our database goes through a multi-source research process. We cross-reference information to build the most complete picture possible.
- Publisher websites — Official product info, pricing, scope & sequence documents
- Cathy Duffy Reviews — 30+ years of expert curriculum analysis
- The Homeschool Mom — Community perspectives and style guides
We Verify
Data quality matters. We tag every piece of information with its source so you can check our work.
Publisher Verified
Data confirmed directly from publisher websites or official materials.
Expert Sourced
Information from Cathy Duffy, Well-Trained Mind, or other trusted reviewers.
Community Reported
Aggregated from parent feedback. Helpful context, but do your own research too.
We Stay Honest
Our ratings aren't for sale. Here's how we keep things fair:
- No pay-to-rank — Publishers can't buy better ratings or placement. Ever.
- Affiliate disclosure — We may earn from some links (it funds the site). We always tell you.
- Source citations — Every curriculum page links to our sources so you can verify.
- We say "we don't know" — If we're missing data, we show it rather than guess.
Who's Behind This
CurriculumFinder is a small, independent project—not a big company.
Jarrod
Designer & Technologist
I built this for my wife as she homeschools our kids. Too many curriculum sites are cluttered, outdated, or pushing products for commission. We wanted something better—so I made it.
