Why use digital homeschool curriculum?

Digital curriculum is a great option for homeschool families because it saves money (often half the price), it is easy to store, you can print copies for multiple children, can buy editable products, and more.

How to access, organize, and print digital homeschool curriculum

This video provides a start-to-finish explanation of how to access, organize, and print digital homeschool curriculum and products.

Access your Treehouse Schoolhouse digital files by logging into your customer account. Download your Treehouse Schoolhouse purchase and save the product to your computer. Each download includes a collection of files that corresponds to the product or curriculum. There are separate files for each product, including the teacher’s guide, the student sheets, worksheets, booklets, and more. 

For best printing results, we recommend opening the files with Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free application.

For at-home printing, simply open the files in a PDF viewer on your computer and print out the desired number of copies. I recommend using a quality printer, such as the Epson EcoTank wireless printer, and printing on bright white cardstock paper.

Tips for using the Treehouse Nature Study digital download

For Treehouse Nature Study, I like to store my printed copies in a 3-ring binder for each season. I insert the pages into page protectors and separate each week of the study with dividers. If I need an additional student sheet or display sheet as we go through each week, I simply print additional copies. 

You can also send the product or curriculum to a local printer, and specify your printing instructions.

Tips for using the editable, customizable Homeschool Planner

Homeschool Planner

For the digital Homeschool Planner, use the fields to customize each week of the year by child, your curriculum choice for the school year, or your daily rhythm. When it is customized to your liking, print the pages at home, double-sided, or send to a local print shop for printing.

Once printed, I recommend using a binding machine to bind the pages together or taking it to a local print shop to have it bound.
