These NEW Living Lesson Packages include everything that is in our Earthschooling Curriculum Packages but they go above and beyond by also providing you with Living Lessons.

You can use these lessons as examples to follow for your own teaching or can use them as supplements to your own teaching (we all need a break now and then. I would have loved to have these available on days I was ill or was taking care of my fussy baby).

What are Living Lessons?

Students can use these full lessons by watching each video themselves. Students can be taught by a Waldorf teacher using these Living Lessons. However, we also feel it is important that the parent/teacher remains involved in the lessons to stay true to the Waldorf methods. So Living Lessons can also be used as a classroom assistant for you and a way for you to become a better teacher by having another teacher lead, guide, and inspire you. Either way you use them – your student will greatly benefit from these full lessons taught by a Waldorf teacher!

Here are some ways in which you may use the Living Lessons:

1. You are homeschooling multiple ages and need a virtual teacher now and then so you can offer each of your students individual attention.

2. You are looking for a virtual classroom experience with a Waldorf teacher.

3. You need a break now and then from homeschooling full time.

4. You want to enhance your own skill set by watching other teachers present Waldorf lessons.

5. You want to join a community of other parents experiencing Living Lessons with opportunities for your kids to connect with other kids in the program.

6. You are running a business or working from home and need a virtual teacher to help you homeschool.

7. You recently moved or are experiencing health challenges that make it hard to homeschool full time.

8. You are new to homeschooling and need a boost of confidence to start off your year.

9. You are new to Waldorf education.

10. You feel overwhelmed with the prospect of homeschooling or you have been forced into homeschooling and are feeling lost.

*You own this program for life once you purchase it. This item is fully downloadable. We are providing you this program with the intention of providing online access for life.

General FAQ

The answers to some of the most frequently asked basic questions about Earthschooling can be found below. To see questions and answers to more specific questions (for example, “How can Earthschooling meet the needs of a child on the autism spectrum?”, please see our Blog FAQs category)

What is the difference between the curriculum packages and the Living Lessons?

Earthschooling curricula offer three different levels for purchase and each one is progressively more comprehensive. The first level we offer is the Core Curriculum options. This option provides all the curriculum you need for your grade in the form of written PDF, images, and mp3s. The second option we offer (and the next level up) is a Curriculum Package. This option provides everything that the Core Curriculum provides PLUS video tutorials for teachers. These video tutorials help you learn how to knit, do wet-on-wet watercolor, create chalk drawings, teach block crayon drawings and more. These tutorials help you teach the curriculum. The last and final level we offer is our Living Lessons. These Living Lessons include everything in the Core Curriculum and Curriculum Packages PLUS “Living Lesson” videos that provide a Waldorf Teacher who teaches the class to your student. These Living Lesson videos can be used as your student’s main lesson of the day or they can be used to help you teach. You can find a list of all the Living Lessons available for each grade by visiting this page here.

Are the curriculum packages sent by mail or are they all PDFs online?

Once you make your purchase you are able to log in with a username and password you choose. Once you are logged in you can view all the videos, mp3s, PDFs, webinars and tutorials that come with your curriculum package. All these items can be viewed/watched/listened to on any mobile device (tablet or phone) or computer. All items can also be downloaded to a USB, hard drive, or mobile device. Curriculum can also be printed. Most of our members print at least the verses and schedule. Beyond that it depends on each member as to how they use the materials. Some like to print everything and others use a tablet exclusively. One reason we rely on an online delivery system is because each curriculum package comes with a large number of videos, mp3s and webinars in addition to the written curriculum.

If I bought the first grade curriculum package this year could I use what I paid to go towards buying the lifetime family curriculum package next year?

Yes, you may receive credit for any of your previous purchases when you upgrade within a year. All you would need to do is write to us for a credit code and someone can send you a code that will give you the appropriate discount. You may also request the credit code right after your curriculum purchase so you have it available immediately when you need it.

What is the difference between a Curriculum Package and a Core Curriculum Bundle?

Curriculum Packages come with teacher support videos and a full course of Eurythmy videos for that grade. Core Curriculum Bundles do not come with teacher tutorials. However, they do come with basic teacher materials, as well as the full curriculum, all the mp3s, calendar of the year, Waldorf Basics documents, and access to the member forum. If you decide to upgrade later from the Core Curriculum Bundle to the curriculum Package you can receive credit for your previous purchase by e-mailing CustomerService@TheBEarthInstitute.com and asking for a discount code.

What is the difference between lesson blocks, monthly lessons, and purchasing the entire curriculum package at once?

Lesson Blocks: These are lessons arranged by subject where each subject is contained in one set of files. To use these files the teacher, parent, or (older) student will work through the provided lessons in order. A sample schedule is provided. However, the block system largely functions on the principle that the teacher/parent/student will be able to work through the materials at their own comfortable pace. Parents and teachers who work best with this system may have students who work more slowly or more quickly than the average student. These lessons also lend themselves well to student-led study or style of learning. This style also allows room for creativity when planning and space for outside lessons, field trips, and student additions to the subject being taught. Using one block at a time is also ideal for students that may have issues with focus, transitions, or other learning challenges.

Monthly Planners: These lessons contain the same topics as the lesson blocks, however we have put them into a detailed daily planner so you can just open the planner each day and see your daily lessons laid out for you. All the instructions, recipes, verses, stories, and illustrations are contained in the planner so you have everything you need on hand for an “open and go” experience. These lessons are ideal for classrooms that include multiple ages, families new to homeschooling or Waldorf-inspired education, or teachers/parents who function best with a firm structure. 

Curriculum Packages: Curriculum packages contain both lesson blocks AND monthly planners so the teacher/parent can try both or switch between one and the other. Curriclum packages also contain mp3s for verses, mp3s for stories (preschool only at this time), video tutorials for students and teachers, hundreds of photos of main lesson book pages, access to the Earthschooling forum, Q & A sessions with a Waldorf Teacher once a week, access to the Cultural Enrichment pages, and access to the Parent/Teacher Essentials pages (with many basic tutorials).

I was wondering what the difference between buying the entire year and monthly is?  It's more affordable to buy the monthly for us right now.  I just want to make sure my son will get the same subjects and education as he would with buying the entire year.

Yes, the content for the core curriculum itself is the same if you purchase it by the month or by the year. The benefit of purchasing the yearly curriculum is that you also receive a large number of teacher tutorials and additional enrichment lessons (which are optional) for your student.

The monthly curriculum offers the following benefits:

1. The cost is less up front. You only pay $25 – 35.00 per month depending on which grade you are purchasing.

2. What you receive is very straightforward and easy to follow. You do not need to navigate the website or read more than one file. You will receive a file with all your lessons for the month along with mp3s for the verses and three basic resource files.

3. You receive these files via e-mail and can download them to a file on your computer directly.

The yearly curriculum package offers the following benefits:

1. Your cost for the year is greatly reduced. Instead of paying per month you pay one low fee up front.

2. You receive a username and password to the website which allows you to access all your curriculum for the year from any location using a computer,  mobile tablet, or phone. You may also download these files to your computer from the website.

3. You receive access to the lesson blocks as well as the daily planners (monthly purchase) so you can choose which method of teaching you want to use or switch between methods during the year (the lessons have the same content).

4. You receive access to the member forum where you can share images and tips with other members, view their photos, ask questions, and participate in the Q & A with a Waldorf teacher once a week.

5. You receive a variety of teacher support materials based on the grade you have purchased.

6. You receive access to the “Cultural Enrichment Page” which includes enrichment lessons in language and additional seasonal and holiday materials.

7. You receieve access to the member’s blog where we put additional enrichment lessons and verses as they become available. We also archive all the past Waldorf teacher Q & A sessions here.

8. You receive access to the “Essential Parent/Teacher Guide” page which contains many documents, webinars, and tutorials that help you learn more about the teaching techniques used in the curriculum.

9. You receive access to an enrichment page and math problems page. These provide the student with optional enrichment lessons as well as math problems for practice.

My 7-year-old child is coming from the public school system and already knows how to read and write. I'm worried he won't find the Waldorf first grade curriculum challenging enough.

You are correct, the language part of the first grade curriculum may not be a perfect fit. However, he would probably find the other areas quite interesting. During the first grade year the students learn a lot of core abilities. They learn form drawing, knitting, handwork basics, tales to nurture the imagination, storytelling skills (which becomes public speaking later in life), wet-on-wet watercoloring, block crayon drawing (which is used up until 5th grade), and more. During first grade students also learn a unique way of looking at the four processes of math which always seems to delight students even if they have ‘learned’ these skills quickly in school before. Even in the public school system the four processes of math are something children practice over and over until the concepts finally seem to take hold around fifth grade. Read more on our blog post here.

Does your curriculum teach Common Core?

We follow the Waldorf/Block curriculum method of schooling in our lesson plans. We also offer sets of daily planners (you have access to both as a curriculum package member) that offer the same methods in a scheduled format. This alternative method is similar to the Block method. However, in these daily planners we have put the individual blocks into a schedule for you. This being said, many members use the curriculum in their own way. Some members even combine Montessori or another program or use “unschooling” style methods.

If a state entity does require documentation on how the curriculum you are using matches up to their Common Core standards we can show them the correlations they need to see as requested. These charts often just require us showing available material across different grades and interepreting where some lessons like “form drawing” would fit into their “boxes”.

I have a question about tests. My district is asking. Do I create exams myself or is there a pdf provided by Earthschooling?

We do not give exams at Earthschooling. However, you may choose to grade your student’s work and use some of the material provided to give exams if your state/region requires it. Our standard student evaluation method is to have the student do the assigned work in their Main Lesson Book until they show comprehension and mastery of the assignment. This means that some students may do the assignment once while others will do it multiple times.

Each time the assignment is done the teacher will offer feedback. These evaluations can include things like correcting math problems, editing grammar or spelling, or making other observations. If you would like to offer your student an exam we suggest that you use the assignments already provided and turn them into exams instead of assignments. For example, a math practice worksheet can be an exam or quiz instead of an assignment. Or, an essay assignment could be turned into an essay question on an exam.

How does testing work when we use the Earthschooling curriculum? Do you provide exams or does the parent test the student?

The Earthschooling system works on a “completion and comprehension” system which means the student will do the lesson until they complete it and comprehend it rather than take an exam after studying the subject briefly. Their completed work goes into a main lesson book which provides record and proof of their accomplishment. Parents can choose to grade this final work if they need to. This can serve as an “open book exam” if you are required to administer exams by your region.

However, because the system works on comprehension, students are prepared to take any outside exams that your region may require. For example, all of my children took the ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills) exam which is administered to anyone by the state upon their request.

Could you describe the mutli-cultural aspect of your curriculum? I'm a Filipino and would like to inject our local culture in our homeschooling and from what I have read on your website, the curriculum allows for this. Could you describe this a bit more?

Yes, we embrace and leave room for many different cultures in our curriculum. This is how we do it:

1. Our curriculum follows themes each month or each block rather than seasons or holidays. This is so the curriculum can be used in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (we do include holiday and seasonal options for the blocks for those that want to include them).

2. We provide a “Cultural Enrichment Page” that has language lessons in Spanish, French and Arabic.

3. Our “Cultural Enrichment Page” also includes extra verses and stories in other languages and from other cultures beyond Spanish, French and Arabic.

4. We include stories from cultures around the world in all of our curriculum. The stories are not all from Grimm’s fairytales or Western sources – the stories are from around the world. For first, second and third grade we even include extra stories that can be substituted for the ones we chose.

5. The curriculum is planned so that stories or lessons can be easily “switched out” if you have something local or cultural you want to include instead. 

6. Our members often share their cultural celebrations on the forum and contribute to the cultural enrichment page so these resources are always growing.

I will be homeschooling my daughters this autumn instead of sending them back to the Waldorf school where they’ve been going since kindergarden. I am now anxiously exploring my options. I’m interested in your curriculum packages, since they seem to be so complete. However, we are French-speaking - we’re bilingual, but we’re mainly speaking French, and I want a good part of our homeschooling to be in French. So do you think your curriculums would be worth it for us, considering I would have to translate big portions of it, and replace all languae blocks and some histoyry blocks with French/local content?

People all around the world use our curriculum to teach in languages other than English. Although the curriculum itself is in English we provide a variety of verses in French and Spanish. We also provide lessons that are easily adapted to any country in the world since we work with so many different students. For example, the local geography block in fourth grade provides a daily planner and detailed instructions on what lessons the child will be doing each day, however, the actual lesson itself will depend on the local surroundings the child is taking their data from. 

History blocks also include details on how to do each lesson so that it is easy to simply substitute a French history lesson for the lesson that is already in place for that block. The only extra task the teacher needs to do in that situation is to find a French history lesson. If you write to us and make a request we can do that for you. We always fill these requests and then post them on the cultural enrichment page.

Before fourth grade this is usually not an issue as the children are working on basic language skills, math skills, handwork skills, and crafts. These lessons, when being taught by the parent/teacher, can easily be translated because they do not need to be translated word-for-word. Lessons are taught through stories and there are tips on how each parent/teacher (even in English) needs to put those stories into their own words. For example, a story about a “Sally” walking around in the countryside of America can easily be told in the teacher’s own words with “Sally” being changed to any name and her location changed to a local area. I always do that when telling stories. I don’t think I have ever told the same story twice for any of the lessons as I always adapt them to my audience. I find it easy to do as I am telling the story. It becomes “second nature” after a while. 

If you do want the children to hear a story in English or you want to practice the English version we do provide all the stories in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade as mp3s so you can listen to them. Many of our English-as-a-second language parent/teachers use these mp3s.

Is the Earthschooling program accredited?

Earthschooling is used in schools around the world and has been approved for use in some public as well as private schools. The curriculum had to go through an approval process at each school to show it reaches suitable standards. In this way, Earthschooling has been accepted and accredited by individual schools. However, because of our international audience we have not sought accreditation by one entity as it would not apply to all of our students, parents, teachers, and schools. You can read more details about our certifications here.

‘Are you accredited’ should not come with a “yes” or “no” reply from any institution so we advise caution with any institution trying to push accreditation as a reason to join their program.

I see that Earthschooling includes the Old Testament in the third grade curriculum. Does this mean that Earthschooling is religious?

Earthschooling is a secular curriculum. We include the Old Testament stories for literary and historical reasons only and not for religious reasons. However, because some parents or teachers do not want to include these stories until later in the student’s educational experience there are alternative stories for the “Third Grade Old Testament Block” on the “Third Grade Enrichment” page. Also on the main “Third Grade Curriculum Page” under “Main Lesson Stories” there is an entire block you can substitute for the “Third Grade Old Testament Block”. It is called, “Third Grade Creation & Origin Myths” block. We included that block to act as a substitute for people who do not want to teach the “Old Testament Block”. However, we also recommend using this secondary block to expand the student’s experiences this year. You can also include/substitute stories from the Cultural Enrichment Pages (for example the aboriginal stories).

In the description for the third grade curriculum it touches a bit upon why the students study this block. It says, “By the third grade, children are beginning to comprehend the difference between self and other and wonder where in the scheme of things they belong. To fortify their growing personal identity, they read origin and creation stories (you can choose one or more of the following: Aboriginal, Native American, European, African, Asian, Old Testament or others). Creation and origin stories give the nine-year-old an inner picture of the vast offerings of the world and the sense of wonder and potential the world holds, provide a foundation for understanding different cultures and provide a foundation for understanding world literature.”

Because so many authors use references to the Old Testament in advanced literature (Moby Dick, etc…) it is important for the student to become familiar with these stories so they can understand the references later. In Western cultures it is assumed most people know these basic stories so references are made in political speeches, magazine articles and even daily conversaion. Some terms have even made their way into modern colloquial speech. If preferred, however, this block can be saved until the student is older. We have provided plenty of other “origin & creation stories” from other cultures for you to share with your students at this point.

I see pentagrams explored as a movement in the Eurythmy lessons. Aren't these religious?

Our program is secular in nature and does not follow any religion. Pentagrams are not religious. Although many religions have chosen them as a holy shape, that does not replace their value in math and movement. Circles, are in fact, used as a holy shape in more religions than the pentagram. Pentagrams are introduced briefly in the curriculum as complex form drawings and movement shapes that help the child coordinate brain and complex body movements. Pentagrams are actually the simplest of the “star polygons”, which is why they are used instead of the other stars. However, if you look up “star polygons” on the Internet you could substitute a more complex star shape if you feel your student is up to the challenge.

Official Definition: A star polygon {p/q}, with p,q positive integers, is a figure formed by connecting with straight lines every qth point out of p regularly spaced points lying on a circumference. The number q is called the polygon density of the star polygon. Without loss of generality, take q<p/2. The star polygons were first systematically studied by Thomas Bradwardine.

How seasonal are your lessons each month?

Because we work with students, parents, teachers, and schools from all around the globe we keep the curriculum focused on topics each month rather than seasons or holidays. We do include a light sprinkling of seasonal verses, stories, and lessons for the year so each month does have a little seasonal “flavor” but is not dependent on the seasonal flavor to use the lessons. Each of these verses, stories, and lessons are also flexible.

The majority of the extra seasonal and holiday activities are found in the cultural enrichment lessons which mesh with the curriculum itself but are set apart from it (these enrichment lessons are provided for free for all curriculum package members and are not part of the curriculum itself but do add more options for holidays and seasonal activities for those that want more).

When a month does incorporate more seasonal activities we try to make sure they are flexible and we provide ideas for people to use if they are not in that season. For example, during the month of January we have some lessons on ice (for winter), however, we also talk about how ice can be used as a fun summer lesson as well.

The lessons themselves are also meant to be balanced so you can start any time of year. This means that the language lessons we have in April, for example, do not require that you studied the ones in December first. All the lessons are self-contained.

The only exception is the month of “August.” This month does not contain any seasonal or holiday events but it does contain all the basics you need for the year so we always recommend starting with that month or purchasing it to use with the month you are starting with.

I am looking at purchasing your curriculum, but I am in Australia. What relevance will your science and geography blocks have for my homeschooling?

For our Australian members we provide the following resources/benefits:

1. A document called “My Waldorf Year in the Southern Hemisphere” that guides you through how to use the curriculum in Australia.

2. A “Cultural Enrichment Page” where we provide additional lessons for Australia including Australian creation stories for the third grade block, Australian native history stories for the fourth grade geography block, and ideas for celebrating Australian Day. We add additional items to this page upon request.

3. Our science and geography programs are designed to be universal because we have students in all areas of the world. For example, the animals we have chosen to study in the “Man & Animal” block for fourth grade are animals that are commonly found in most areas of the world such as deer. We also provide a guide on how to create lessons for additional animals. Our geography program focuses on geography skills rather than a specific location. However, we do provide ideas and suggestions for students in different areas of the world.

4. The curriculum can be started at any time of year. It does not need to be started during a certain month.

Do you offer your curriculum in Spanish or other languages?

Currently, we offer the Earthschooling program in English. However, we do have many ways in which we assist parents and teachers who speak English as a second language:

1. We offer some basic verses in Spanish, French, German, and Arabic for grades preschool through fourth grade on the Cultural Enrichment Pages.

2. We offer some short stories in Spanish and French for early childhood on the Cultural Enrichment Pages.

3. We offer a teacher guide called Language in the Dell that instructs teachers in how to include other languages in the program.

4. We offer mp3s of all the verses and stories for preschool and kindergarten. Mp3s for first grade stories are coming soon and we will be working our way through all the grades to continue this service.

5. Mp3s for verses are included for preschool through fourth grade.

6. Our video tutorials for teachers can also be used by students and provide an important visual, rather than audio instruction.

7. Since you will be telling each story to the students as well as teaching each lesson you are able to teach in any language. Even in English I always change the names, locations, and many of the details in each story.

8. Our lessons are all “open and go” and we keep the instructions basic and easy to follow.

Where can I find samples of the curriculum?

Answer: All of our samples are found on the Complete Curriculum Package Page under each individual grade as well as on the free sample page here.

Do I need to purchase/follow the blocks in order? What if we start late? What if we live in the Southern Hemisphere? Should I purchase monthly planners or lesson blocks?

There are many challenges in creating a secular curriculum that can be used for seasonal/holiday activities, that also provides enough quality content for main lesson topics, and that can also be adapted to members around the globe. For this reason we have created five options so everyone can choose the option that suits them best. There are five organizational options you have when using the curriculum:

(some of this information can also be found in the planning document My Waldorf Year that all curriculum package members have access to on the Essential Parent-Teacher Guide Page)

  1. OPTION ONE: You can use the curriculum according to the season or holiday. We have worked hard to base our Monthly “Daily Planners” on themes and blocks rather than holiday and seasonal topics so you will find some seasonal activities in each Monthly “Daily Planners”,  However, they are not dependent on the seasons or holidays so they can be used in any month. As long as you do the month of August first (this month has no holidays or seasons associated with it) you can do the rest of the year in any order as the month of August contains the basic lessons for the year. It is OK if you do the alphabet “out of order” in first grade, you do “part two” of Norse Mythology before “part one” in fourth grade, etc. We have designed the lessons to be used in any order.
  2. OPTION TWO: You can use Lesson Blocks instead of our Monthly “Daily Planners“. These Lesson Blocks do not have any association with the seasons or holidays and focus exclusively on the main lessons. You can then supplement these blocks with holiday or seasonal activities from the Cultural Enrichment Page (all members who have purchased a curriculum package have access to this page) or with seasonal and holiday activities from our blog.
  3. OPTION THREE: You can use the Monthly “Daily Planners” in order and extract holiday activities on your own. This is a lot easier than it sounds. To do this you simply need to open up two of the Monthly “Daily Planners”. Use the one that is “in sequential order” as your main planner. Use the one that corresponds with the season or holiday as your secondary planner. This means that as you follow the lessons each week you will use the main planner to teach from. However, at the start of each week you will check the secondary planner quickly to see if there are any holiday or seasonal activities/verses/stories you may want to include as well. You can simply add these on top of the main planner. This is very easy to do as all of our planners follow the exact same format.
  4. OPTION FOUR: If you are a Lifetime Family Package member you have access to our holiday/seasonal guides that can be found on this page HERE (once you click on a month please choose the option on that page that says “…preschool through fourth grade” or “…pre to G4”. These are not for individual sale on the website. They are only available to Lifetime Family Package members or members who have purchased a monthly set. These seasonal and holiday activities can be used to supplement any block or planner.
  5. OPTION FIVE: You can use either the Monthly “Daily Planner” lessons or the Lesson Blocks and add your own additional holiday and seasonal activities on top of these. Many people already have these activities established as traditions in their family, culture, or community and do not want them as part of the curriculum as well. We also have some free holiday activities on our blog you can use if you want additional holiday or seasonal activities.

I would like to share my experiences with the curriculum on a social media platform (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc...) - what are the guidelines for sharing and what copyrights should I be careful about when sharing?

When sharing work online you can share:

  2. Your child’s painting or samples of their painting work
  3. Your child’s writing or samples of their writing work
  4. Your child showing what they did that day such as holding up a doll they made and a page from the Main Lesson Book and talking about their experience.
  5. Circle time samples (not the full circle time)
  6. Breadmaking, Nature Walks, and other items not related to the curriculum
  7. Pages from the website that are open to the public (such as free sample videos, navigating the purchase options, etc.)
  8. General images of your classroom and general talking about what you are doing such as “we told Native American stories today” or “we did some gardening lessons today.”
What cannot be shared:
  1. Pages from the curriculum
  2. Pictures of the inside of the curriculum

Supply Lists

The Earthschooling curriculum comes with all the books and lessons (digital editions) you need for teaching each grade. All you need are some physical supplies like pencils, crayons, and paper! The supply lists for each grade below are recommended lists only. What you will actually need will depend on four things:

  1. What do you already have? What can your children share? You do not need to buy new supplies for each year and children can share supplies.
  2. What kind of Main Lesson Book style do you prefer? Even though we recommend different styles and sizes this is really a personal decision. You can even make them yourself! Many Waldorf teachers actually have their entire class make their own books using paper, a hole puncher, and yarn. I always used the ‘blank on one side-lines on the other side’ style for almost everything. It was our favorite. However, there are a variety of sizes and styles to choose from.
  3. What can you get locally? You don’t need to order yarn if your local farmer sells hand-spun wool and yarn. Or perhaps a relative or friend has a bunch of un-used skeins you can have? I certainly have a quite a few I’m not using right now! It doesn’t hurt to ask around.
  4. What can you make? You can make your own watercolors, main lesson books, crayons, and much more. Decide which items you want to make and which you want to buy.

How Do We Price Curriculum?

Our Prices in 1994

Some customers have been curious about why our prices have increased since we first opened in 1994 or how we have made decisions on pricing. When we first started Earthschooling in 1994, the requirements for an online business were very small. We only had to have a one page website and all the files were sent by e-mail. The company was run by one person who ran the website, the e-mail and the creation of the curriculum. This meant that old prices were based on the simple labor costs of one person. Prices were very low and product was simple and without multi-media or other options.

Our Prices in 2025

In today’s world customers expect more than a simple syllabus for their curriculum. Business are also expected to host informative and comprehensive multi-page and multi-media websites to maintain a create a user-friendly experience for the customers/members. Websites used to be free. Now they cost money. It costs additional money to send newsletters and host files for members on the website. This did not used to be the case.

What Goes Into the Cost of Your Curriculum?

In addition, Earthschooling has added much more staff to the company. Our curriculum now goes beyond a simple document. Earthschooling is now able to provide a full curriculum experience with videos for teachers that show them how to do the lessons, mp3s for verses, support from Waldorf teachers on our forum, daily support from staff and other members on our Facebook forum, and files that can be accessed on any computer, tablet or mobile phone. Our current prices are based on the following payments we make on a monthly basis to provide services and products to customers:

  1. Cost of hosting the website.
  2. Cost of paying a webmaster to maintain the complex website.
  3. Cost of hosting files online for members and customers.
  4. Cost of sending newsletters to members and non-members.
  5. Cost of paying staff to help run the expanded business operations.
  6. Cost of paying teachers who have contributed lessons.
  7. Cost of office supplies, computers, and other equipment.
  8. Cost of phone, internet, and electric to run the offices.

By pricing fairly and not offering sales we are able to treat each customer equally and offer a product we are very proud of – the product we dreamed of so many years ago but were not able to create because of Internet limitations and the limitations of running a business as one person. Earthschooling is now the premier Waldorf homeschooling product online and offers more than any other similar curricula.

Why Do Payment Plans Cost More?

Over the course of the past five years we have calculated that a payment plan costs us about $50.00 per customer on our end due to management of the plan. Even though the plans are automated, we need to upkeep those systems, make changes for customers when a payment is late, or when a card changes, and perform many more tasks to keep the system functional. We do not charge you interest. We only charge what it costs for us to maintain the plan for you.

When Do We Increase Prices?

We ONLY increase prices when our cost goes up. We do not randomly increase prices “because we want to” and we do not increase prices for any other reason. These are the only reasons we increase prices:

  1. We have added more content to the curriculum so our pay-outs to teachers increase
  2. One of our services (in the list above) has increased in price
  3. The salary of our teachers or staff has increased due to increased work on the website and helping you with your curriculum

How Do We Compare in Price to Other Curriculum Providers?

Our staff member did a comparison study comparing our prices to other curriculum providers and found that we are on the low to middle end of what is being charged for similar services. Other providers charge at least double what we charge for some of the same services. We will not double our prices to match them. At this time we feel the prices are fair to our teachers, staff, parents, schools, and members. We will not increase prices to “match the market.”

Diplomas & Transcripts

Hi Earthschoolers! As you have probably discovered by now, every area of the world and every state in the United States has a different set of rules for how they want to regulate your homeschooling experience. Some areas simply require that you submit a short list of what you are doing for the year, other states require that you consult with a teacher each month and other states require more detailed documentation.

How Are Students Assessed for Documents?

We serve as the administration and you are the teacher. Just as in a regular public or private school the teacher submits the grades and assessment to the administration and the administration sends documents to the student. Just as in a school, there is no assessment done by the administration. Assessments are all done by the teacher (we work with parent-teachers, private and public school teachers) and we assume that the information submitted to us is done in a professional manner.

Does my Student Need a Teacher Evaluation?

We serve as the administration and you are the teacher. However, if you prefer to have another teacher look at your student’s work you can register for a teacher evaluation package HERE.

Graduation Certificates and Transcripts

Earthschooling can provide your family with these documents. They can be sent to you or directly to your state. Let us know. You can order these items HERE.

We can adapt the look of the certificate our transcript or what is written on the certificate or transcript to the language required by your area. Since members live in different areas of the world we realize that the needed language may differ. Please let us know if you need any modifications to the documents or they will be sent as they appear in the photo. Once you have made your purchase we will need the following information:

  1. Student Name as it should appear on the certificate/transcript
  2. Date of graduation
  3. Grade completed at graduation
  4. Classes completed at Earthschooling
  5. Additional classes completed outside of Earthschooling
  6. Address to send transcript and certificate

Will Colleges Accept Your Transcripts?

“I just heard from SNHU and they are accepting Nils’ (Earthschooling) transcripts.” – Christa F.

“As a family, we are thrilled to share that our Kadu Titi started studies for a degree program today, his is the first Waldorf High School Diploma to be accepted for a degree program by a University in Africa.” – Kadu

Yes, colleges will accept our transcripts. Over the past five years an increasing number of colleges have accepted homeschooling transcripts. With the increase in home education brought on by the pandemic this percentage has reached almost 100%. Our certificates and transcripts go beyond a “homeschool” transcript. So, although most colleges do not require them, they will help your student go “above and beyond” and they are accepted. 

Colleges in the UK, Canada, Europe, and Australia have also accepted our documents. However, as there are different rules in each country you will need to check with your local school board or college to see what their document requirements are. You may want to refer them to our school page here so they can see how many accredited schools we work with.

Returning to Public School or Enrolling in College

Earthschooling works with many private and public schools around the world. As our curriculum is accepted in many schools we have not found that students have ever had an issue with our certificates and transcripts being accepted at their schools or colleges. Transition from Earthschooling back to public school or to college is seamless. 

However, in most cases you do not even need to order a transcript or certificate from us. Some online education academies try to convince parents that they need a special kind of accreditation or certification to be able to return to school. This is often used as a ‘selling point’ or it gives them an excuse to charge extra money for their program or require the purchase of certificates. 

We do not make these claims and requirements as they are not necessary. As a homeschooler your rights are clear in each state, region, and country you are in. In the United States this means that homeschooled children are treated the same as public school children when they transfer back to public school or when they enter college. All you need to do to enjoy these benefits is one of two things:

OPTION ONE: Do nothing. We take care of it all. Check with your state, region, or country’s laws. Some areas have laws that say that as long as you provide documentation and records (we provide those for you) that your education for the year is accepted.

OPTION TWO: Register as a homeschooler in your state, region, or country. This is always an easy process and we can help you with it.

Accreditation

Earthschooling works with certified teachers, provides core standard charts to administrators, and weekly contact with a certified teacher. Earthschooling can also provide certificates and certified transcripts to students. This is sufficient to fulfill most regional requirements for accreditation. If your region/state has specific requirements for your student please check with them to make sure these are sufficient. Note that most states in the United States, Canada and Australia do not have accreditation requirements for homeschooled students. These services are usually used by our International students.

Earthschooling is used in schools around the world and has been approved for use in some public as well as private schools. You can see a list of these schools here. The curriculum had to go through an approval process at each school to show it reaches suitable standards. In this way, Earthschooling has been accepted and accredited by individual schools. However, because of our international audience we have not sought accreditation by one entity as it would not apply to all of our students, parents, teachers, and schools.

Question from a Student: Is your school accredited?

Reply from Earthschooling: When homeschooling there are a few items to consider. Usually, schools in the United States do not require that you have attended an accredited school. You can enroll with them as a previous homeschooler. However, documents like a graduation certificate and transcript do help the school see that you have been keeping track of your work in an official capacity.

Secondly, we are able to provide them with documentation instead of accreditation. We work with many accredited schools around the world and this is actually the first time we have heard a school ask about “accreditation.” This is probably because:
  1. We work with accredited teachers. You can find those here:https://earthschooling.info/thebearthinstitute/about-us/gallery-3/
  2. We work with and are used by accredited schools. You can find those here: https://earthschooling.info/thebearthinstitute/charter-schools/
  3. We fulfill core requirements for all grades. You can find that information at the bottom of the page here: https://earthschooling.info/thebearthinstitute/charter-schools/
  4. More information on accreditation can be found here. This page also contains information on some colleges that have accepted our transcripts in the past. However, the list is not complete. Since none of our students have ever had any issues (beyond perhaps the school asking for additional documents from us) we have not re-contacted students to provide a complete list. Nor have we pursued accreditation in an official capacity as we work with students, teachers, and schools around the globe and there is no one agency for all of these.

Consultations with a Teacher

We offer you the opportunity to consult with one of our teachers on a regular basis to fulfill your state requirements or to get regular help from a certified teacher. You can purchase these services HERE.

Basic Documentation 

Iowa (my state) requires only that I provide them a simple list of concepts we are using each year. I submitted portions of the document below to my state teacher. She was very happy. Other years I have given her the indexes. However, now that we are not using the indexes you can also just print out the web-pages to show them what you are doing for the year. We have provided a sample below…

Simple List of Curriculum Concepts

 

Advanced Documentation

Some states require that you show how Earthschooling meets their common core curricula standards. We can help you through this process. All you need to do is submit a list of your state’s common core curricula standards in the format below. You can submit data for one grade, more than one grade, one subject or whatever you need.

You can easily find a list of core standards for your state or region by going to a search engine and using the terms “(Region), Core Standards”. For example, to search for Iowa core standards I put in the term “Iowa Core Standards” and it takes me to this website here: https://iowacore.gov. Usually the page you are looking for will end in .gov and will come up at the top of the search engine page. Some states/regions have a more organized website than others. The Iowa website required that I go to multiple pages to download what I needed. Other states have everything on one page.

Be sure to check at the bottom of this page to see if we have already done your state. Once we do a state/region we post it below so other members can use it.

This is the format you need to submit to us in (You can download this example and cut and paste your own state/region’s information into it to make it easier):

Grade Two Core Standards in Ontario, Canada

OR another example (with the links to show you how I cut and pasted from the original):

Grade Two Core Standards in California, USA

We will then return it to you in the format below. Below you will find all the ones that have been submitted which we have finished. You are welcome to use any of the documents below for your state if you happen to live in a place that has an Earthshooling core standard already.

Homeschooling Requirements with Your State

If you have information on how you filed with your state as a homeschooler or what the main website you use for your state (or country/region) is please let us know by sending an e-mail to: CustomerService@TheBEarthInstitute.com. We can then share this information with other members to help them!

California

We work with many charter schools, schools, parents, and teachers in California. Most of our members register with the state as homeschoolers. However, we provide them with detailed schedules, core standard charts, and transcripts to make their record keeping easy. The form to fill out in California is extremely easy to use. It is only one page HERE and is called a “Private School Affidavit”. Members that are using it have found it very easy to transition from public to homeschooling status.
