Several curricula, one plan
Can I mix different homeschool curricula, and how do I keep it from getting messy?
Yes, most homeschool families mix curricula, and the way to keep it tidy is one main program per subject, anything else used only for practice, and one simple list of what each child uses for each subject.
One main program per subject
Two full math programs at once means two sequences, twice the work and methods that can clash. A practice site on top of one main program is fine when it is set to the same level.
Check for gaps and repeats
Lay the scope and sequences side by side, especially for math and reading, where skills build in order. Clareza's is free to read and print at /scope-and-sequence.
One list, one log
A table with each child, each subject and the program for it, plus a note of where each program keeps its records. Help choosing the main program is at /homeschool-curriculum/how-to-choose-a-homeschool-curriculum.
Using Clareza in the mix
You can add or remove individual courses for each child, so you can keep only the subjects you want and use something else for the rest. You can also add a course from another grade, so a child can be ahead in one subject and behind in another.
What Clareza does not do
- The price is the same $29 a month for the household whether you use one course or all of them.
- It does not import work, grades or hours from other programs, and its transcript lists only Clareza courses.
- Its lessons are not lined up with any other program, so where both teach a subject, expect some repeats.

Questions parents ask
Is it OK to use a practice site like IXL with another curriculum?
Yes, many families do. Keep it at the same level as the main program and use it for practice, not as a second sequence.
How do I keep track of several curricula?
One list of who uses what for each subject, and one short weekly log.
Can I use Clareza for just one subject?
Yes. You can turn courses off for each child. The price stays $29 a month for the household.
