More families are choosing to homeschool their children today than at any other time in recent history. With over 3 million children enrolled as homeschool students, the number of companies offering homeschool curriculum continues to grow. The playing field is as crowded  as it’s ever been. Yet, as supply rises to meet demand, Abeka Academy continues to outperform competitors in nearly every feature category including cost.

In order to make homeschool curriculum comparisons as accurate as possible, we’ve charted how Abeka Academy compares to other solutions with similar offerings.

So how does Abeka Academy stack up? See the table below for a line-by-line assessment, and check out these five takeaways.

1. Cost:

When it comes to affordability, the cost of Abeka Academy is 23% less than its most-affordable competitor. Meanwhile, homeschool families will save more than 70% when opting for Abeka’s homeschool solution over K-12 Private Academy, the most expensive competitor curriculum included in the table.

2. Proven Results & Longevity:

Among its competitors, Abeka has been around the longest at 50-plus years. The curriculum publisher and homeschooling pioneer was founded in 1972, when the modern homeschool movement was just beginning to gain traction. Abeka quickly separated itself as a curriculum that sets its homeschool students up for academic success. Early on, Abeka also became known for its Master Teachers, who write and test Abeka curriculum, and its intensive phonics approach, where young students learn to read a large number of words early, quickly, and accurately.

3. Subjects, Objectively Speaking:

When we look at how Abeka Academy stacks up against similar homeschool curriculum publishers, we see a well-balanced and robust selection of subjects offered. Core subjects like language and arithmetic are presented to students using the spiral learning approach, and across multiple subjects, not just math and reading instruction. Even more, these core competencies are complemented by instruction in Spelling and Poetry, Handwriting, History/Geography, Science, Bible, Health, and Art.

4. Transcripts, Additional Fees:

While some curriculum companies like Abeka make student transcripts available at no extra cost to students in the accredited track of Abeka Academy, others require homeschooling families to pay a fee to obtain transcripts. When selecting a homeschooling program and accessing costs for each, be sure to make note of additional costs like application and administrative fees not reflected in the bottom-line cost of the curriculum itself.
