Courses

The first step in starting Alveary is to make initial decisions on which courses you'd like to teach.

Schedule

Now that you’ve chosen your courses, create a rhythm that fits your needs. Use our print or digital planning tools to draft a schedule that works for you.

Books

View Alveary book lists to learn more about the book selections for each course and purchase the ones you need.

Lesson plans

Our lesson plans give you everything you need to know about how to teach your courses and how to use the books and supplies that go along with them.

Supplies

After setting up your schedule and looking over your lesson plans, you can go ahead and buy the necessary supplies in order to teach the courses.

End-of-term exams

An average school year consists of 3 eleven-week terms. After each term, there is one week of exams.

What’s new

Regular updates containing practical and philosophical answers to member questions, encouragement, important news, and Alveary improvements.

Need help setting up?

Don’t expect smooth sailing with a full schedule on day one. Maybe wait until week two to add math or handicrafts, and consider week one a “trial and error” week to refine your schedule. Most members start to find their groove somewhere around week three or four.
