MASTER LIST:
Homeschool Resources and the Common Core Standards
This list contains a notation for every homeschool-related entity I have researched. Company and/or product
names are shown according to the standard process for alphabetizing (i.e., if a title starts with “A” or “The,”
the article is excluded for alphabetizing purposes, and names of individual people are listed by Last Name, First
Name).
Notations are color-coded, as follows:
•

responded directly to my queries;
make unambiguous statements on their websites;
have not yet responded (i.e., are included on the Awaiting a Response list);
are suppliers/distributors (not actual curriculum/resource publishers).
I strongly recommend carefully reading all notes when considering any of the products. But to summarize
my definitions for clarity here:
Independent (IND) = These companies have not changed anything in regards to the CCS/NexGen and
intend to remain independent of the initiative. They may or may not know of ways in which their materials
happen to somehow match some aspects of the CCS/NexGen, but they do not promote any ancillary
connections.
Correlated (COR) = Each of these companies is correlated to - not aligned with - the CCS/NexGen.
Correlated providers did not make content changes in order to become "aligned" and, in many cases, have
indicated concerns with the initiative. However, they do note (usually on their websites) where/how their
materials - as written - correlate with aspects of the CCS/NexGen. In other words, they "appear to be
acknowledging where they [match] the CCS/NexGen, but did not...[actually] change to align."
Coincidentally Connected (COIN) = Each of these companies has a coincidental connection to the
CCS/NexGen. In most cases, the publishers have indicated a strong commitment to educational
independence from the CCS/NexGen initiative. But they offer "package" programs (i.e., instruction in multiple
subjects) that incorporate aligned materials from other publishers (in addition to many unaligned resources).
Explicitly Aligned (EXP) = These companies have indicated that they have chosen to actively align their
materials with the CCS/NexGen. Some have made relatively small changes, and others have completely
overhauled their products (or were even initially created based on the initiative). However, in all cases,
conscious content changes were made to accommodate the CCS/NexGen.
Other Responses (OTH) = Each of these companies either needs more time to formulate an official
response, has indicated that it will only share its position with individual parents, is not interested in sharing its
view at all, or did not respond after many attempts to elicit a reply. Check the list itself for details about each
entity.
Awaiting a Response (WAIT) = Each of these companies has been queried, but has not yet sent a reply.
Suppliers/Distributors (SUP) = Unless otherwise noted, these companies do not publish any of their own
materials or actually produce curriculum and educational products. Instead, they merely sell resources from a
wide variety of other outlets, serving as suppliers/distributors. As such, they have not been queried in regard
to the CCS/NexGen. And to my knowledge, they all sell a wide variety of materials – whether independent,
correlated, coincidentally connected, or explicitly aligned – without regard to any resource's CCS/NexGen
status.

The Academic Advantage will utilize students'
own materials rather than require specific
resources in its tutoring services. Thus, students
could use the tutoring services without
reference to the CCS. However, the program's
courses for credit are provided solely by Laurel
Springs School, which is explicitly aligned.
Additionally, it offers several AP preparation
courses. And, though not directly covered by
the CCS because they are the equivalent of
freshmen-level college courses, it's worth
noting that all AP classes must be approved by
the College Board and that the College Board is
in the process of changing AP courses and tests
to “reconcile” AP with the CCS. In order to
maintain College Board approval, Academic
Advantage's AP tutoring may have to make
related changes as well.
Academic Success for All Learners has not

it has researched how/where its program

because of the CCS. Thus, though BJU has
created documents to show how its materials
correlate with the CCS, and it's clear that the
CCS has already been and will continue to be
taken into account going forward, it seems that
the actual content of BJU materials has not
been changed at this time. However, the
company has indicated that it will refer to the
CCS and may make changes that may
specifically align with the CCS if it deems
those changes to be in accordance with BJU's
educational philosophy. Thus, I highly
recommend that potential BJU customers
contact the company directly to ask specifically

Brightly Beaming Resources (Letter of the
Week) (BBR/LOTW) is a Canada-based
program. As such, its creator has no plans to
align with the CCS, and everything she has
written (and will write going forward) has no
intentional connection to the initiative.
Additionally, most of the resources pertain to
toddlers and preschoolers and/or are largely
based on literature and music that have no
official connection to the CCS. With school-age
materials, BBR/LOTW does suggest a few
resources from some entities that have
correlated with or aligned to the CCS since the
program was created (Explode the Code,
Starfall, etc.), but the suggested literature itself
has not changed (that is, correlation only occurs
in teacher's guides that BBR/LOTW does not
include), and BBR/LOTW offers multiple
options (i.e., for phonics instruction) so parents
wanting to use the BBR/LOTW program can
easily avoid the CCS if desired.
Brightstorm creates videos based on the content
found in textbooks from a variety of
mainstream publishers. If the CCS is
incorporated into such books, Brightstorm
videos may include such content as well.
Though the content at Britannica Online does
not appear to have been changed to
accommodate the CCS, the site clearly shows
CCS correlations for every grade level.

CMASAS uses material from many other

parents and students would need to work with

since the default coursework regularly includes
aligned material.
Materials written directly by Christian Cottage
are not aligned, but its full curriculum uses
some materials from companies, including
Easy Grammar and BJU, that are correlated
with the CCS and others, such as Modern
Curriculum Press, Evan-Moor, and EPS, that
offer many explicitly aligned products.
Christian Cottage consults with families to
create a custom curriculum program for each
student, so parents desiring to refrain from
using CCS-related materials could discuss that
with the consultants.
Materials written directly by Christian Liberty

the CCS was adopted and the one text from a
company with many aligned books that has a
later copyright (a Glencoe woodworking book

eventually updates any books from aligned

of the CCS, but the program is an AP-approved
course. AP courses are not directly covered by
the CCS because they are the equivalent of
freshmen-level college courses, but it's worth
noting that all AP classes must be approved by
the College Board and that the College Board is
in the process of changing AP courses and tests

The teaching guides and other materials written

curriculum does currently suggest the use of
three CCS-correlated Usborne books in the
Grade 1 program. However, I noted only that
small coincidental connection as I looked
through all the LBC recommended materials,
and LBC is looking to replace those titles.
Additionally, the LBC publishers pointed out
that, “None of our books [is] ‘required’ in the
sense that the curriculum cannot be
accomplished without it. The thing that is
required is the method of living books and life
experience. Our oft-repeated slogan is, ‘It’s not
the books; it’s the method.’” Thus, a parent
could easily substitute alternate, non-aligned
books for the three Usborne titles.

Scholars Online is committed to maintaining its
distinctive approach to classical Christian
education and has no interest in aligning with
the CCS. It does utilize textbooks from
mainstream publishers, most of whom have
now aligned, but the publication dates of most
of its required textbook editions pre-date the
CCS. I did, however, note the inclusion of a
2011 biology book published by Benjamin
Cummings (a Pearson subsidiary) and a 2010
physics book by McGraw-Hill. I do not know if
those particular texts have been aligned, but
both parent companies are strong CCS
proponents. Additionally, the aligned
Geometer's Sketchpad is required for the
Scholars Online geometry course, and several
Scholars Online courses are AP. AP courses are
not directly covered by the CCS because they
are the equivalent of freshmen-level college
courses, but it's worth noting that all AP classes
must be approved by the College Board and
that the College Board is in the process of
changing AP courses and tests to “reconcile”
AP with the CCS. Thus, in order to maintain
College Board approval, the Scholars Online
AP classes will have to make related changes as
well

resources from a wide variety of publishers in
The Well-Trained Mind. The CCS did not exist
when TWTM was first published, and the
book's latest edition came out in 2009 (just
prior to the introduction of the CCS), but some
of the providers mentioned in the book have
since chosen to align. Thus, readers seeking
non-aligned resources should check out the
CCS position of the entities discussed in
TWTM.

and analysis techniques advocated in the CCS.
That said, the company has no plans to actually
alter its content for the CCS.

Williamsburg Educational Programs
COR
In response to my query, I was told that
“Colonial Williamsburg is dedicated to
teaching accurate high quality history and
civics lessons. You are welcome to review our
offerings and draw your own conclusions with
respect to your questions.” Thus, I did review
the WEP offerings and determined that, while it
does not appear that the programs have actually
been changed to align with the CCS,
correlation is clear.

WiloStar3D is aligned to pre-CCS Florida state

wanting to avoid the CCS should confirm the

Woodside Learning Center is not interested in
making any content changes for the CCS and
is, therefore, almost entirely independent of it.
However, it has an optional AP track for a
history course. And, though AP is not directly
covered by the CCS because it is the equivalent
of freshmen-level college courses, it's worth
noting that all AP classes must be approved by
the College Board and that the College Board is
in the process of changing AP courses and tests
to “reconcile” AP with the CCS. In order to
maintain College Board approval, Woodside's
AP option may have to make related changes as
well.

Word Central (Merriam-Webster)
COIN
Because Word Central uses a technique called
“reading and marking” - whereby “accumulated
evidence...for English as it is used in books,
magazines, newspapers, and so on” is collected
as the site's editors “read and mark a wide
variety of classroom materials, from popular
textbooks to a large selection of classic and
modern children's literature,” it's probable that
it has coincidental connections to the CCS (i.e.,
through inclusion of CCS key words in the
textbooks that are analyzed) especially because
all mainstream textbook publishers have
aligned.

IND
COIN
World Book – for both its print and digital

WORLD Magazine is unaligned. WORLD has
entered into a partnership to provide content for
Dew Learning, which is explicitly aligned, but
it appears that WORLD is simply providing a
service to Dew subscribers, not writing any
aligned or correlated content itself.
Worldview Weekend links extensively to antiCCS information.
Write from the Heart offers an AP English
course. Though not directly covered by the
CCS because it is the equivalent of freshmenlevel college courses, it's worth noting that all
AP classes must be approved by the College
Board and that the College Board is in the
process of changing AP courses and tests to
“reconcile” AP with the CCS. In order to
maintain College Board approval, the AP class
offered by Write for the Heart may have to
make related changes as well.
It is worth noting, though, that Write from the
Heart has always placed parental authority and
biblical standards above AP literature
suggestions; thus, it's possible that the
program's author may also seek ways to work
around any CCS-related AP course content
changes. And non- AP Write from the Heart
material is independent of the initiative.
