Simply Be Wild and Free
Free Online ElectivesFree school electives and online homeschool resources!
NOTE: Some platforms that have both a paid for and free version (marked with an *) may be completely free during the Covid-19 Pandemic! Those that are offering their full service for free should have a notice at the top of their website.
When Utilizing Free online Resources and Platforms, Please be aware of the Following!
The websites listed below have many great freebies to use in your homeschool – such as online lessons, demonstrations, and interactive resources that can be used as school electives.
Some however, are only partially free and may require a subscription to access their full content or to gain ad free usage.
Speaking of ads — Please remember that few FREE online platforms will not have ads. Please pay special attention to the ones that your children will be utilizing independently. Make sure children are always aware of what things shouldn’t be clicked on!
Take note of all freebies that are marked with an * (asterisk) – These free educational resources for electives either have a large number of (possibly distracting) ads or require a subscription/signup of some sort for complete/ad free resources or versions.
With that said, I took time to weed out (and chose not to promote in this online homeschool programs resource center) the websites I found as too distracting or not worth the effort.
I did however, spend countless hours researching each one of these online educational websites to build a one of a kind hub for homeschool moms to help them utilize online school electives resources with ease! I found all of the ones listed below to be useful when teaching various school electives in an online homeschool environment!
I worked hard to make sure everything is marked correctly and I spent time on each platform so that I would only be recommending the very best.
However, things get updated and website content will change from time to time! Please make sure to check out my other free homeschool resources.
So please, if you notice mistakes, something doesn’t work, or you have any additional feedback on this online elective courses resource center – please contact me HERE.
