Welcome to the Bourne Homeschool!

Bourne Homeschool is a curated website of secular educational materials and programs for all ages. These materials may be used by parents or teachers to augment traditional education programs or they can be utilized as resources for homeschooling families. 

Where possible, there is a particular emphasis on open source materials free to use in online course development at no cost to educators or students. This should be especially useful during the stay-at-home education adjustments necessary due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You will also find supporting sites for differentiation.
