2026 Parent Choice Awards!
You already know what makes Alveary special: living ideas, engaging books, and a curriculum designed to help your family thrive. This year, Alveary has been honored with three 2026 Parent Choice Awards! 🏆🏆🏆
One member captured their experience:
“I have had a curriculum epiphany!
This is our first year homeschooling and after reading volume 1 of Charlotte Mason over the summer and doing endless research, I felt like the Alveary was the best choice. But that familiar friend FOMO crept in, as she often does, and I purchased books from another curriculum and tried that for 2 weeks of term 2. It was crazy and my husband groaned and the kids groaned. And the love of learning was diminished. I kept having this feeling that classic books equals better books. But I’ve really been reading these posts, watching YouTube videos of people discussing curriculum choices, and I've reaffirmed that Alveary is the best for us.” Read the full story →
