Can you list all the complete "box" curricula available? My friend is a humanist and doesn't want to have to filter through books to see if they are secular. This is her first year and she's a little nervous. Grades 2, 3 and 5, if that matters. I've told her about Oak Meadow, but she would like to look at others. :)

I've used both and if you compare apples to apples, Sonlight is hugely expensive. Sonlight Core A (Kindergarten) $733.98 (complete) Oak Meadow K $385 (complete with craft kit and K-3rd manuals) Heart of Dakota LHFHG $242.37 My Father's World K $338. Living Books Curriculum Kindergarten $499 I think any *complete* curricula you purchase will have sticker shock, but it is a bargain basement price compared to any private school.

Add knitting and an instrument, and there you go. I think i
