Our Experience
We have been using SchoolhouseTeachers.com consistently for the past year in our homeschool. A great feature with this site is that no additional text books are required. Also most of the supplies needed for courses are usually found around your house or easily acquired through a local store or online if needed. But usually you can find away to do the class without additional expenses. Sometimes library books are suggested, but you can usually find everything you need on the internet for FREE.
We had used SchoolhouseTeachers.com a few years ago, prior to this past year, with a break in-between, and after using it again this past year I can honestly say their website just gets better and better each year with more classes and resources offered with your membership. I missed it the year we took off and was truly glad to have a subscription for 2017. As a member of the Homeschool Review Crew, we were sent a new 1 year subscription for 2018 in exchange for writing an honest review.
I like the variety of courses available to us, 350+ courses, plus videos, World Book eBook Library, printable resources, and more. I also like the freedom to choose as few or as many courses as we want that fit our family’s needs. I like the flexibility of doing the classes at our own pace and the ability to change courses if we desire and there are no penalties. I like all the special features for parents like making calendars, lessons plans, certificates of completion, and help with dinner menus. I especially like the variety of self-paced highschool courses available.
Some of the classes my kids used this past year from SchoolhouseTeachers.com are:
- Introduction To Architecture
- Elementary Art
- Drawing With Realism
- Leadership 101

For this course, and most of the courses we have used, we have had the option to download all of the lessons onto our computer with the provided link or use the lessons online. He wanted to download them, and he had quick and easy access and it was easy to download and save them to the computer.
Each time he logs in to his course at his convenience, he reads through his lesson, watches a few linked videos, prints out and completes a worksheet that includes vocabulary and definitions, world maps of locations of buildings, he researches and then puts this into his 3-ring binder, and then he completes a building challenge in almost every lesson.
Some of the building projects have been 3 D paper models of famous structures around the world such as Roman Coliseums and Pantheons and the Great Wall of China. One of the projects was building a ginger bread house. In the curriculum, there are many links to paper models you can print out and build and my son has made a few of them, but he prefers to use 3 D models made of metal, plastic, wood, or building blocks for building famous bridges and other structures. He has made a wish list of various models available on Amazon and Ebay that he wants us to buy for him and he plans to put them on a display shelf in his room when he finishes them. He is only half way through the course at this time and is really enjoying it.
Course Example 2:
Elementary Art
Elementary Art covers 22 lessons /weeks including learning about 12 famous artists, 10 advent art lessons, art techniques, suggested library books, and looking up resources about each artist online and more.
12 Artists
My kids have enjoyed studying about 12 famous artists and their unique styles of art, and the projects they did in each style.
Lesson 1: Michelangelo
Lesson 2: Pablo Picasso
Lesson 3: Vincent van Gogh
Lesson 4: Georgia O’Keefe
Lesson 5: George Caleb Bingham
Lesson 6: Cassatt
Lesson 7: Grant Wood
Lesson 8: Rembrandt
Lesson 9: Pierre Renoir
Lesson 10: Andy Warhol
Lesson 11: Leonardo da Vinci
Lesson 12: Claude Monet
Here is an example of Lesson 2 and learning about the Abstract Art Style called Cubism by the famous artist Pablo Picasso. 
Their project assignment for this lesson was to use various shapes cut from colored papers to make their own masterpiece. They really enjoyed this lesson.
Here is an example of Lesson 3 and a Van Gogh painting project.
We found a coloring page of Starry Night by Van Gogh. The kids didn’t want to finger paint this day, so they modified painting the picture using the pressure technique with a brush.
Advent Art
The course also contains another 10 lessons called Advent Art that centers around the Christmas holiday and the birth of Jesus Christ.
Lesson 1: First Saturday of Advent – Luke 1:26-28, 31 An Angel Appears
Lesson 2: First Sunday of Advent – Luke 1:46-55 Mary’s Song
Lesson 3: Second Saturday of Advent – Matthew 1:20 Joseph’s Dream
Lesson 4: Second Sunday of Advent – Luke 2:4-5 The Journey
Lesson 5: Third Saturday of Advent – Luke 2:6-7 He Has Come!
Lesson 6: Third Sunday of Advent – Isaiah 9:6 Prince of Peace
Lesson 7: Fourth Saturday of Advent – Luke 2:8-11 Good News of Great Joy
Lesson 8: Fourth Sunday of Advent – Luke 2:13-18 Glory to God in the Highest
Lesson 9: Christmas Eve – Matthew 2:1-11 Three Visitors, Three Gifts
Lesson 10: Christmas Day – John 1:14 The Word became Flesh!
We did not do all of the Advent Art section of the course as it is listed. Many of the arts and craft projects are designed to create a baby Jesus with felt, or paper plate angels, or star ornament with popsycle sticks, etc.
However there were a couple of projects in this section that I really liked such as Lesson 6 where the kids learn the “Names of God” and create a word picture.
Father God has many names. The lesson provides several names for your picture, however there is still room on the page to add several more.
Yahuah = Father, He who breaths life
Yahusha = Yahuah Saves
1. YAH (“I am”) = Father and Judge (Creator and King)
2. YAHuah (“I am He who breaths life”) = Father (Abba)
3. YAHusha (“I am He who saves”) = Yahuah Saves = Son (Jesus)
4. Ruach HaQodesh (“the Dedicated Breath”) = Holy Spirit
5. Adonai (“Master”) = Lord
6. HaMashiach (“the Dedicated One”) = MessiYAH (Christ)
7. HalleluYAH = “You follow The Way of YAH”
Learning the names of God and making a list of his names on beautiful paper is fun to do. This makes a lovely picture to hang on the wall, or put in a frame, and remind yourself and your kids of how great and loving Father God is and that he sent a part of himself, his only son, to save us.
I plan to tweak the Advent section of the Elementary Art course. I want to add in a few other bible art projects, while still focusing on the suggested bible scriptures about God sending his son Jesus to save mankind. One tweak I am making is to help my kids create a bible art journal that includes the scriptures about Jesus Christ the Messiah. I alternated colored paper and lined writing sheets so they can have plenty of space for writing and for art. It has a “Jesus Christ Messiah” theme instead of a “Christmas holiday” theme and I believe will be more beneficial in learning about and focusing on faith in Jesus year around. I am debating what binding to use for this project, so for now, the pages are loose and put into a folder. I may simply use a three ring binder for them so it will be easy to add more pages when desired. This journal will be a great way to keep related bible art projects and bible scriptures together and will make a fun memory book and encourage their faith.
