Secular, and specific about it

Secular homeschool curriculum

"Secular" gets used two ways in this market and the difference matters. Sometimes it means neutral: the religion has been taken out of the covers but the science still hedges. Sometimes it means what you actually wanted, which is a curriculum that teaches the scientific consensus because it is the consensus. You should be able to check which one you are buying before you pay, so here is how.

Check the biology course yourself, right now

Grade 9 biology runs 11 units and 98 skills, from molecules and enzymes up through cells, energy, genetics, evolution, ecology and the human body, ending in a capstone where your child defends an argument about a real biological case. Evolution is a unit in the sequence, not a footnote or an "alternative view" panel. You do not have to take that on trust: the course is readable in full, right now, with no account and no card.

Aligned to NGSS and Common Core, and it says so

Courses carry their standards alignment openly. That is the least ambiguous signal available in this market, because a curriculum built to the Next Generation Science Standards has already made its decision about evolution, the age of the earth and climate, and cannot quietly hedge in the chapters.

No religious content in any subject, including the ones nobody checks

Parents check science and forget history and literature, which is where a worldview usually enters instead. There is no religious framing in the social studies sequence, no providential history, and no devotional material in the reading. Religion appears where it is the subject, as history, taught as what people have believed and done rather than as what is true.

71 courses, not a science patch

The whole K-12 catalog is one curriculum: 14 maths courses, 12 English, 11 science, 14 social studies, plus health, PE, art, music, computer science and world languages. You are not assembling a secular science bolt-on onto somebody else's year.

No advertising and no trackers, on any page

Not a values claim, a technical one: there is no ad pixel, no tag manager and no advertising network anywhere on this site or in the product, including the pages your child uses. It is in the privacy policy in those words, and it stays true because we do not install them.

What this is not

  • It is not anti-religious. Religion is taught in history because it is most of history. What it does not do is teach any faith as fact, in any subject.
  • It is not accredited and does not issue a diploma. It prints a transcript of what was taught and mastered.
  • It is not a classical, Charlotte Mason, unschooling or literature-based curriculum. It is a standards-aligned sequence with a teacher built in, and if you want one of those philosophies specifically, this is not it.
  • There is no religious-studies or comparative-religion elective yet.

Questions parents ask

Is Clareza Academy a secular curriculum?

Yes. There is no religious content in any subject, and science is taught to the Next Generation Science Standards, which means evolution, deep time and climate are taught as the scientific consensus. Every course is readable in full with no account and no card, so you can verify that before paying anything.

Does the biology course teach evolution?

Yes, as a unit within the standard sequence, between genetics and ecology. It is not presented alongside an alternative.

What about history and literature?

No religious framing and no providential history. Religion is covered as history, as what people believed and did, rather than as doctrine.
