What it is
A library to explore, not a curriculum to follow.
The Home School Barn is
- An independent resource brand and a growing library of printable materials
- Free resources, individual resources and curated collections
- Made for curious children aged roughly 3 to 10, and the parents who learn alongside them
It is not
- A prescribed curriculum or a fixed sequence to follow

Free should not mean lower quality.
Free resources are not watered-down samples of paid products. They are complete resources, made with the same care, and yours in exchange for an email address.
Frequently Asked Questions
What ages are the resources for?
The resources are made mainly for children aged roughly 3 to 10. Age ranges are a guide: you know your child best.
What format do I receive?
Resources are digital, downloadable PDF files, designed to be printed and used at home. Nothing is shipped.
How do free downloads work?
Free resources are available at no charge in exchange for an email address. Asking for a free resource does not sign you up to the newsletter; joining it is a separate choice.
Are free resources cut-down samples of paid ones?
No. Free resources are made to be excellent in their own right, with the same care as everything else in the library.
Are the resources tied to a particular curriculum or teaching method?
No. The Home School Barn is independent. Resources stand alone and do not follow a prescribed sequence. Some may share ideas found in approaches such as Waldorf education, but the library is not tied to any one method.
Are the resources only for homeschooling families?
They are made with homeschooling families in mind, and can also be used by parents looking for thoughtful ways to supplement their children's education.
