Heron Books (founded 1991) publishes Heron Curriculum™ educational materials, portions of which are offered at this website. This rich K-12 curriculum of self-paced courses was originally developed for a group of independent schools that wished to:

1. Give more attention to usefulness and application of what was learned,
2. Have less governmentally mandated bias than was common in most commercially available curriculum offerings, and
3. Empower their students to proceed rapidly (but at a pace appropriate to them individually) through subject-area courses while building a strong core of basics.

Although more of the Heron Curriculum courses are being added regularly to this site, not all of the full curriculum is available here. In particular, the core basics materials, called the Heron Basics™ Programs, are not available without specialized instructor training. If you wish to learn more about acquiring these, contact us at programs@heronbooks.com.

What is offered here is a collection of excellent beyond-the-basics courses and resources for students in regular school programs or in homeschools.

Try these courses out in your homeschool or school program—see how they satisfy children's hunger for effective, efficient and useful educational materials.
