Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool

Easy Peasy is a complete K-12 Christian homeschool curriculum that costs nothing. It is the work of one homeschool parent, Lee Giles, who built it for her own family and made it public. There is nothing else like it in the market.

Who the publisher is

Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool was launched in 2011 by Lee Giles, an American homeschool parent who began organizing daily lesson plans for her own children and posted the result publicly. What started as one family's planning system has grown into a complete preschool-through-twelfth-grade curriculum used by tens of thousands of families worldwide. Giles maintains the project largely herself, with help from a small group of contributors and a community that crowdsources error-checking and resource updates.

The structural anomaly of Easy Peasy is its funding model. The curriculum is genuinely free, not freemium, not ad-supported in a way that gates content, not free-trial-then-paywall. Operating costs are covered by optional donations, modest revenue from a separate store selling printable offline workbook companions, and Giles's own labor. Families who want everything Easy Peasy offers pay nothing for the curriculum itself, only for the internet connection and any printed workbooks they choose to buy. There is no comparable free K-12 program with anywhere near this scope.

Theologically, Easy Peasy is explicitly Christian, broadly Protestant, and Bible-throughout. The site describes itself as a "complete, free online Christian homeschool curriculum" and includes substantial Bible content as a core subject. Old Testament, New Testament, Scripture memory, and devotional readings interleaved with academic material. The Christian framing is not cosmetic; it is structural. Families looking for a secular free option will not find it here. Families inside the broad Protestant tradition typically find the worldview register comfortable rather than denominationally specific.

The core pedagogy

Easy Peasy's pedagogy is best understood as curated and sequenced internet learning. Each day's lesson at a given grade level is a webpage that the student opens, reads through, and works through in order. The page contains short Lee-written instructional text, links to videos (often Khan Academy, YouTube, or other free resources), public-domain texts to read, exercises to complete, and writing prompts. The student moves through the day's links, completes the activities, and is done with that subject for the day. The next day's page extends the sequence.

The pedagogical posture is eclectic rather than loyal to any single school. Reading instruction blends phonics with reading-aloud and copywork in a Charlotte-Mason-adjacent register. Math leans on a combination of Lee-written explanations and external video instruction; the math sequence works through arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and into calculus by high school. History runs as a multi-year cycle covering ancient, medieval, early modern, and modern periods. Science covers biology, earth science, chemistry, and physics through the K-8 levels and into formal high school courses. Language arts includes grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and composition.

Signature mechanics: (1) Daily lesson page as the unit of instruction, the entire structure of the curriculum is "today's page" rather than chapters or lessons. (2) Aggregated free resources, most of the actual instruction comes from outside sources Giles has selected and sequenced; the original Lee-written content fills gaps. (3) No login, no progress tracker, no platform, students bookmark the day they are on and move forward. Optional My EP is a paid assignment-tracking tool families can use if they want progress logging. (4) Substitution-friendly, the curriculum invites families to swap recommended resources for preferred ones, since the structure is sequence-and-prompts rather than proprietary content.

A day in the life

A fifth-grader using Easy Peasy starts the morning at the Year 5 daily page, which lists the day's assignments across subjects. Bible (15 minutes, a passage read, a question answered, a memory-verse drill). Math (30-40 minutes, a Khan Academy video, a few practice problems, a Lee-written review section). Reading (30 minutes, a chapter of the assigned literature for the year, plus a comprehension question). Writing (20 minutes, a prompt with a model). Spelling and grammar (15 minutes). Science (30 minutes on alternating days, a video, a reading, a notebook entry). History (30 minutes on alternating days). Spanish, music, art, and PE rotate through as shorter units. Total instructional time: roughly three to four hours, mostly student-driven, with parent involvement for read-alouds and oral instruction in the early years.

A high school student using the companion high-school site is largely self-directed. They work through a course catalog selecting English, math, science, history, foreign language, and electives; each course has a daily-page structure similar to the elementary years. The parent's role is verification and discussion rather than presentation.

What they do exceptionally well

Cost. Easy Peasy is free, full-scope, and legitimate. No other K-12 curriculum in the homeschool market matches this. For families in genuine financial constraint, military families on tight budgets, large families where per-student cost compounds, families homeschooling on a single modest income, the cost-floor Easy Peasy establishes is significant. Families have used it as their entire curriculum for years without paying.

Single-author coherence. Because Lee Giles has been the primary author and editor for over a decade, the daily-page format, the tone, and the sequencing have a consistency that aggregated curricula rarely achieve. A student who used Easy Peasy from kindergarten through eighth grade has worked through one continuous body of work, not a stitched-together set of vendor products.

Substitution flexibility. Because Easy Peasy is built around sequence-and-prompts rather than proprietary content, families can swap any recommended resource for a preferred one without breaking the curriculum. Don't like the recommended Year 4 history spine? Substitute another. Want to use a different math program? The Easy Peasy page becomes a checklist rather than a script.

Public-service ethos. Giles has resisted commercializing the project in ways that would have generated meaningful income. She has kept the curriculum free, has kept the optional revenue streams modest, and has continued personally answering questions through community forums. This is rare in homeschool publishing and worth noting on its own terms.

What they do poorly

Visual design and platform polish. The site looks like a curriculum built by one person over many years because that is exactly what it is. Pages are functional rather than designed; navigation is simple HTML; there is no automatic progress tracker or grading system. Families accustomed to consumer-grade educational software will find the experience underbuilt.

No teacher support, no live instruction, no formal grading. The parent is the entire support apparatus. There is no way to ask a math teacher a question, no live class, no auto-graded quiz that flags weak spots. For families whose strength is not direct teaching of upper-level math or science, this gap is real.

Accreditation and college-prep documentation. Easy Peasy is parent-issued credit. Families using it for high school college-prep need to pair it with external validation, standardized testing (SAT, ACT, AP, CLEP), dual enrollment, or an accredited umbrella, to produce a transcript colleges will treat as documented. The curriculum is rigorous enough for adequate college-prep when paired this way; without external validation, a competitive college will scrutinize the transcript more closely than it would scrutinize an Abeka Academy or Sonlight transcript.

Worldview saturation in subjects where it is structural. The Bible content is a daily subject and Christian framing recurs in the literature selections, the discussion prompts, and the science narrative posture. Families substituting these out are doing more than skipping a few prompts, they are reshaping a structural piece of the curriculum.

Who it fits / who it doesn't

• Pick Easy Peasy if: you are budget-constrained or value-oriented and want a complete K-12 curriculum at zero cost; you are inside the broad Protestant Christian tradition; you have a self-directed middle or high schooler who works well from a daily checklist; you want substitution flexibility; you are testing homeschooling before committing financially; you have a large family where per-student cost compounds.

• Skip Easy Peasy if: you are secular, Catholic, Jewish, LDS, Orthodox, or otherwise not aligned with the curriculum's broad-Protestant framing and don't want to do significant substitution; you want polished consumer-grade software; you need teacher support, live classes, or formal grading; you are college-prep-serious and don't want to layer external validation; you want an accredited transcript out of the curriculum itself.

Cost honest assessment

Easy Peasy is free as of April 2026. The curriculum itself, the daily lesson pages, and the linked external resources cost nothing. Optional purchases include printed offline workbooks sold through Giles's separate store at roughly $5-$25 per workbook, My EP assignment tracking at a modest annual subscription, and any external resources families choose to buy (math manipulatives, science kits, additional reading material).

Compared to the next-cheapest options, the gap is substantial. The Good and the Beautiful offers free PDF downloads of its core language arts and math products but charges for printed materials and full-scope packages. Ambleside Online is free but is a Charlotte-Mason book list rather than a daily-lesson curriculum. Easy Peasy is the only complete daily-page free curriculum in the market. A family budget for one or more students using Easy Peasy with a few printed workbooks and modest supplemental materials runs $50-$200 per year all in.

ESA eligibility notes

Easy Peasy is free and therefore not directly relevant to ESA reimbursement workflows. ESA-funded families using Easy Peasy as their core curriculum can deploy ESA funds toward supplements, math manipulatives, science kits, art supplies, tutors, dual-enrollment fees, standardized test fees, that the free curriculum does not provide. Some state ESAs require that funds go through approved vendors, which Easy Peasy is not; this is a logistical fact rather than a barrier, since the relevant ESA spending happens on supporting materials rather than on the curriculum itself.

Alternatives

• The Good and the Beautiful, a family would pick TGTB over Easy Peasy because TGTB offers a more polished consumer experience and free PDF downloads of core subjects, with the trade-off that the broader curriculum is paid and the worldview is LDS-authored.
• Ambleside Online, a family would pick Ambleside over Easy Peasy because Ambleside is also free, Charlotte-Mason-faithful, and book-list-driven, which suits families who want a literature-and-narration approach rather than a daily-lesson-page approach.
• Khan Academy, a family would pick Khan over Easy Peasy because Khan is also free, secular, includes formal video instruction and auto-graded practice, and can serve as the math and science backbone for a family that does not want a Christian-framed full curriculum.
