Cathy Duffy Reviews home>

Welcome to the premier site for homeschool reviews!

Since 1984, Cathy Duffy has provided resources for the homeschooling community like her latest title 100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum. This site also features articles and reviews of other books Cathy believes are important for those interested in homeschooling, education, and related politcal and spiritual issues.
While we stretch beyond homeschooling, our primary goal always remains the same:
To help families successfully educate their own children!
 Note: Publishers, authors and service providers never pay to be reviewed. They do provide free review copies or online access to programs for review purposes.

HomeEdExpert.com is Cathy's newest project. This FREE online tool walks you through the curriculum selection process in a manner similar to her book. It goes on to make recommendations most likely to suit your children and your situation. Click here to try it out.

One of the best sources for homeschool curriculum is the Homeschool Buyers Co-op, founded and operated by homeschoolers. The Co-op uses its purchasing power to get its members super low prices for homeschool curriculum, including many of my Top Picks. Co-op membership is FREE and qualifies you for lots of benefits, including free SmartPoints that can be used to purchase curriculum. Ordinarily, you get 100 SmartPoints when you join, but enter CATHY in the Referral Code space on their sign up form, and I'll get a small bounty in support of my website, and you'll get 500 FREE SmartPoints, which are enough to purchase a number of products in their SmartPoints Vendor Hall.
