Enhance your homeschool curriculum with comprehensive supplements for creative expression, musical development, and physical well-being
The arts, music, and physical education are not just "extras" but essential components of a well-rounded education. Our curriculum supplements are designed to integrate seamlessly with your core academic program, providing structured, engaging activities that develop creativity, musicality, and physical wellness.
Drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media
Singing, rhythm, basic instruments, and music appreciation
Movement skills, games, fitness, and outdoor activities
This comprehensive curriculum supplement spans 36 weeks across all grade levels, designed to support elementary and middle school learning. Our approach emphasizes the development of increasingly sophisticated technical skills and expressive capabilities as students progress through the grades.
Our curriculum aligns with general principles and content areas found in standards across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, providing a solid foundation that meets regional educational requirements.
As students advance through grades, our curriculum fosters independent application and critical analysis. Each grade builds upon previous knowledge while introducing new concepts and techniques appropriate for each developmental stage.
Beyond technical skills, our curriculum fosters deeper understanding and personal engagement in each discipline. Students are encouraged to develop their unique artistic voice, musical expression, and physical capabilities through meaningful projects and activities.

No special training is required. Our curriculum supplements include detailed instructions and teaching tips for parents with any level of experience. The activities are designed to be accessible for both you and your child to learn together.
Each grade level includes a comprehensive supply list. Most art activities use common household items and basic art supplies. For music, simple rhythm instruments can be made at home, though recorders or ukuleles are recommended for upper grades. PE activities require minimal equipment like balls, jump ropes, and outdoor space.
We recommend 2-3 hours per week total across all three subjects. This could be arranged as three 40-minute sessions, daily 20-minute activities, or whatever schedule works best for your family. The curriculum is flexible and can be adjusted to fit your needs.
Each grade level's supplements are designed to complement the themes and content of our core curriculum. For example, Grade 4 arts activities connect to New York State history, while Grade 6 explores ancient world art and music traditions. Cross-curricular connections are highlighted throughout.
Each activity includes modification suggestions for different ability levels and learning styles. For children with exceptional talents in these areas, extension activities and advanced options are provided. The process-oriented approach makes these subjects accessible to all learners.
Absolutely! While designed to complement our core curriculum, these supplements stand alone as comprehensive arts, music, and physical education programs. They can be used alongside any academic curriculum or as enrichment for traditionally schooled children.
