Our verdict on Master Books
Master Books is a Christian homeschool curriculum for parent-led families teaching from preschool through high school. Its grade-level Basic 4-Subject Sets combine math, language arts, science, and history, with teacher and student materials, schedules, daily lesson plans, worksheets, quizzes, and answer keys. The curriculum emphasizes a biblical worldview and uses a hybrid format that includes print curriculum, downloadable resources, and supplemental online video instruction.
The curriculum’s strongest fit is for families seeking an open-and-go structure rather than assembling separate resources for each lesson. Daily plans provide a defined path through the material, while assessments and answer keys give parents built-in tools for tracking work. Free math and language-arts placement tests can help families identify an appropriate starting point. Downloadable printables and worksheets add flexibility for home use, while Master Books Academy extends the curriculum with online video courses.
Master Books is less suited to families looking for a broad, fully digital platform or a curriculum organized around subjects beyond the four included in the Basic sets. The published Basic set lineup covers Grade K through Grade 7, while the broader catalog is described as serving preschool through high school. Families should also expect to remain involved: the program is designed for parent-led homeschooling, and the video component is a supplement rather than a replacement for the core print and digital materials. Choose Master Books if you want structured daily guidance, parent materials, and a biblical worldview across four core subjects; consider another option if you prefer minimal parent direction or a primarily online experience.
