How we label

Every fact on a card was read on the publisher's own website on the date shown, and the page it came from is linked. A fact we could not confirm there is left out. Costs are for one child and one year of the main package, as the publisher's page showed them that day; prices and sales change. Method and format are the publisher's own description where it gives one. The only thing we say about religion is one label, secular or faith-based, given by the rule above; where the publisher's pages don't settle it, the card has no label.

Secular. We label a program secular when the publisher's own pages call it secular, or describe the program and the publisher without any faith terms.
Faith-based. We label a program faith-based when the publisher's own pages describe the program or the publisher in faith terms.
Traditional. Textbooks or lessons with workbooks, practice and tests, much like a school course.
Literature-based. Real books, often read aloud, carry the lessons instead of a textbook.
Charlotte Mason. Living books, short lessons, narration, copywork and nature study.
Classical. The trivium: memory work and facts first, then logic, then rhetoric; often Latin and history in order.
Montessori. Hands-on materials, a prepared space and a child who chooses the work.
Waldorf. Stories, art, music and handwork in a steady rhythm, with formal reading later.
Unit studies. One topic at a time, with several subjects taught through it.
Mastery. One skill is taught until it is secure before the next, rather than many topics spiralling back.
Books and workbooks. Printed or printable books, workbooks or PDFs; no screen needed for the lessons.
On screen. Interactive lessons on a computer, tablet or app.
Video lessons. A teacher on video does the main teaching, often with workbooks beside it.
Books and screen. Sold as standard with both a large print part and a large screen part.
Cost a year. One child, one year of the main package, from the publisher’s own price that day. Monthly prices are counted as 12 months. Extras, shipping and sales change what you pay.
