There are more and more resources out there for Catholic catechesis and Catholic homeschooling curriculum than there was even 5 years ago. While it’s great that there are more options, it can make weeding through them to select the best Catholic homeschool curriculum that is best for your family a little more tricky.
I’ve narrowed down my top choices for the best Catholic homeschool curriculum and at-home Catholic catechesis so you can find what works best for your family AND your budget.
Bear Good Fruits™ Catholic Liturgical Homeschool Curriculum
Bear Good Fruits™ Season of Light, Year A
Year A is for Advent 2025 – Lent 2026!
The scripture will NOT line up for this coming Advent 2026!!!
Season of Light for Year B will be available in late October
Grades PreK – Highschool
If you are looking for an at home catechesis resource that is open and go, family style, and actually brings the faith to life in your home, Bear Good Fruits™ is the answer. It includes Scripture, saint stories, nature study, poetry, art, hands on projects, crafts, recipes, copywork, discussion prompts, and gentle reflections that follow the liturgical year. Everything is woven together with a soft Charlotte Mason inspired touch, making it rich in beauty yet simple enough for even the busiest families. This is catechesis that flows naturally, feels meaningful, and keeps your children rooted in the heart of the Church.
What makes it truly special is that it works for the whole family. Instead of trying to juggle multiple grade levels or buying several expensive books for each child, Bear Good Fruits lets you teach everyone together. The lessons are written so older children can go deeper while younger children join in through story, nature, play, and hands on learning. It is perfect for unschoolish families who value curiosity, conversation, and real life learning over rigid, workbook heavy routines. Children stay engaged because the lessons connect to the world around them and feel like real experiences, not a checklist.
When we could not find a resource that combined Scripture, saints, nature, beauty, Charlotte Mason principles, and family style learning in a way that actually worked for real Catholic families like ours, we decided to create our own! That is how Bear Good Fruits™ was born.
If you are tired of complicated plans, bored children, and curriculums that require you to be in five places at once, this will be a breath of fresh air. It brings peace, purpose, unity, and joy back into your homeschool while helping your children grow in faith and virtue day by day.
Into the Deep from Into The Deep Co
Grades 1 – 6
Where your homeschool lessons meet faith formation. If you are looking for a thorough, rich Catholic catechesis for your children, Into The Deep might be good fit for you.
If you are looking for straight forward lessons for a smaller family, then you will love Into The Deep for at-home catechesis. Brought to life with exquisite art and illustrations, your children will learn about the Catholic faith along with hymns, poetry, stories, copy work, and more.
Level 1 is geared towards Grades 1-3
Level 2 is geared towards Grades 4-6
Level 3 is geared towards Grades 6-8
There are 72 lessons so you can do a simple schedule of 2 lessons per week for the standard 36-week school year or stretch it out over the course of the entire year if you choose.
I love that this curriculum has a heavy focus on both the call to a relationship with God as well as sound doctrinal exposure and explanations. To “follow Him” is both an act of the heart and ascent of the will, something that is so important for children this age group to learn.
Each book is easy to use and straight forward so there is little preparatory work for parents. At the same time, there is lots of room for parents to tailor the content to their family’s preferences.
Price point: $60/book ($35 for digital download)

Spirit of Truth – Sophia Institute
Grades K – 8
Spirit of Truth is available for both classrooms and homeschool. We personally use the homeschool edition for our 3 oldest children.
Teaching the Faith at home doesn’t have to be boring, dry, or fluffy! Spirit of Truth Homeschool Edition is a refreshing way to bring our Catholic Faith — and all its beauty, goodness, and depth — to your children.
As the first and primary teacher of your child, you’ll find Spirit of Truth to be a beautiful resource that deepens your family bonds by growing in faith together all while helping you lead your children into a profound encounter with Christ in your catholic homeschooling.
Price point: $15 for the workbook and $40 for the parent manual
Our Holy Faith – Tan Books
Grades K – 8
Give your child a solid foundation in the faith with the acclaimed Our Holy Faith series of religion textbooks. Our Holy Faith has long been a great orthodox resource for families looking to impart the truths of the Catholic faith to their children. Now, these beautifully re-typeset TAN Books editions have been revised to include modernized language and updates to the practices of the Catholic Church and enhanced with additional content, including further explanations of core concepts and relevant quotes from the Bible, the saints, and the Catechism.
But catechesis is only half the battle; we also want our children to be holy. The Our Holy Faith series aims to engage your children spiritually as well as intellectually with various activities provided in the “For Me to Do” sections of each lesson. These new TAN editions also include traditional prayers from the saints and other faithful sources that are pertinent to the topic under discussion for your children to exercise their faith.
These books are beautifully done and I personally think they are a great choice for most families.
Price point: $20-35/book

Spirit of Truth Sacramental Preparation
Personally, I have found the Spirit of Truth sacramental preparation programs to be the best. They provide you with teacher-written, classroom-tested lesson plans to prepare your students for receiving the sacraments.
The Spirit of Truth series uses a lesson plan format that equips the catechist to take the lead in catechetical formation and lay a secure foundation for young Catholics. While it’s not being marketed at Catholic homeschooling curriculum and is geared for use in schools and parishes, it is still suitable to use in your own home.
