Best Free Homeschool Curriculum

Only four programs on this site cost nothing, and they solve different problems: one is a full accredited school, one is a from-scratch classical curriculum built by volunteers, and two are strong single-subject tools. None of them is a drop-in replacement for a purchased all-in-one curriculum, but stacked together they can cover a surprising amount of ground for a family working with no budget at all.
