Curriculum Units

Research demonstrates conclusively that parent involvement in their children's education is the single most important indicator of student success. LHS materials for parents and families help make this success a reality. While many LHS curriculum activities can be adapted for homeschooling or other family/community use, there are also a number of products specifically designed for the parent/family audience. These include the world-famous Family Math program, parent education workshops, and a new line of home science kits. LHS educators are happy to further discuss with you ways you can use our materials and products in family settings.

The following are primarily designed for Parents/Care Givers, Families, and Kids.    More units
