Homeschooling is a rewarding experience, and like parenting, it requires patience, hard work, dedication, and of course time.

Choosing a comprehensive homeschool curriculum for your children that also offers the right tools for you can make all the difference in your homeschooling routine and also save you a ton of time.

But with so many homeschool programs to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you? Before making a decision, you need to first ask yourself what is most important to you in a curriculum.

The following charts illustrate many of the common elements parents consider -- aside from whether it's a good fit for their children -- when evaluating homeschool curricula. With so much required of homeschool parents, Time4Learning's award-winning, PreK-12th grade homeschool curriculum strives to give you back more free time.

If gaining back your day is high on your homeschool curriculum "must have" list, find out more about how Time4Learning can help you do just that.
