About the CLRC Complete Integrated Homeschool Program for Grades 1 - 4

Everything You Need to Homeschool with Confidence

In this well-received program, 25-year veteran homeschool mother Esther Phillips teams up with the CLRC to share her decades of homeschooling experience with parents of elementary school children. This is a complete and flexible homeschool package for elementary school which can be tailored to each family’s unique circumstances.  Families receive guidance and resources in all areas of their own Home School.

This year, families have the option of choosing from two curricula themes: ANCIENT TIMES (the new name for the curriculum Esther offered during 2020-2021) and MEDIEVAL TIMES.  These are stand-alone programs, and can be taken in any order of interest or preference.

    • The program includes:

      • A weekly live class which parents and children attend together
      • A complete integrated homeschool curriculum
      • Parent meetings and individual help

    "I have had the privilege to work with Esther Phillips in a classroom setting for the past five years.  Her integrated curriculum and teaching style have blessed my family in many ways.  The children have developed a love for learning, and I have developed the confidence to homeschool my children.  Esther includes multiple subjects woven together, which enables the children to make connections to the material on their own. Numerous resources and support are offered, which creates an environment that allows parents to be assured they are giving their children the highest quality education. She is a gifted teacher who inspires others to enjoy the journey of homeschooling." -- Tiffani G., Idaho

    Esther Phillips, Integrated Homeschool Program Coordinator

    Esther Phillips began homeschooling her own children over 25 years ago and quickly became a proponent of Charlotte Mason and Classical education. Though from England, her childhood was spent mainly in Kenya and Hong Kong until her family settled in rural Lincolnshire, UK. Esther's father, himself classically educated and able to read Latin, Greek and Hebrew, inspired in Esther a love of learning and lifelong wonder and discovery. She has spent 15 years setting up, directing, and teaching homeschool co-ops and has served as a consultant to many homeschool families, with a desire to foster in them confidence and joy.

    Esther has five children, two are still at home completing their homeschooling journey. She lives in Idaho and enjoys reading (of course) and writing (when she gets a chance).
