What is Schoolhouse Teachers?
SchoolhouseTeachers.com was created with the vision to provide quality homeschool materials from the best teachers in many subject areas. We offer daily, weekly, and monthly lesson plans and activity ideas.
The tagline “Blended Learning, Innovative Education” means so much…..
“Blended learning is the use of both classroom teaching and online learning in education.” Our approach believes in the combination of face-to-face learning—i.e., home education and homeschool co-op settings—combined with the latest in technology. And that’s where innovative comes in. We’re using the latest in technology: online learning, E-Books, apps, back issues of The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine archived, and more. And there’s much more (video, audio files) to come.

Our Experience:
When I first logged on to this amazing site it was a bit overwhelming. There is such a vast amount of information and planning and lessons. After spending a bit of time looking around I was really impressed with how there really is something for everyone. There are lessons that come up monthly, weekly, and daily! The lessons are provided by amazing teachers such as Terri Johnson, Diana Waring, Michelle Miller, Andy Harris and Kim Kautzer—just to name a few! As a parent/teacher I can log onto my account and look for lessons that we want to cover or even daily activities I want my students to work on! Just to name a few-filmmaking, lapbooking, and voice lessons! I really enjoyed watching some of the filmmaking lessons! Wow, these aren’t lessons you can just find anywhere, not to mention for this price! Of course, there are all the usual types of subjects as well—history, grammar, chemistry, economics, writing, literature. I want to mention here that some of the lessons are video based and some you just print out and go from there!
One of my favorite aspects of this membership is the planners are now included. In past years I have paid $30 for a planner for me and another $10-20 for each age group I needed planners for! No more! Free with your membership! I love these planners. The teacher planner is 800+ pages—choose the pages you need and print them out. They are also editable—I would type in our weekly lesson plans and print out copies for my kids! There are planner pages for your homeschool as well as your household!
Daily plans include–writing, math, grammar, today in history and much more. I will definitely be using some of these this year with my kiddos. Daily grammar explains a grammar rule and then has practice exercises to go with it! There are also 10 copybooks available if you want your child to work on copy work…no more needing to hunt down what you want them to do, these are all put in once place and nicely laid out!
All I can really tell you is there is more on this website than you could ever need and it is updated daily to include new content. Also included are all the back issues of TOS Magazine–my favorite homeschooling magazine—this is a goldmine right here!
What I liked:
- The value here is amazing…so much information and lessons for $5.95/month!
- The variety of the lessons provided–film making?, voice lessons?, as well as the traditional subjects.
- It really is a one-stop shop for all your homeschooling needs, and the best part is you only pay 1 low monthly price!
- There are daily lessons as well as weekly and monthly-something for every type of homeschool.
- Love the planners!!!!
- Love the back issues of TOS magazine as well as the new monthly digital magazine!
- Some of my favorite homeschool curriculum writers are teachers here!
What I didn’t like:
- hmmm, hard to find something!
To sum it up: For just $1 for the first month you can try out this amazing homeschool resource. I highly suggest you do yourself a favor…it will save you time and money in the long run!!!
