The Natural Curriculum

Your child already has a way of learning.

This is how you find it, and then build a whole education on top of it.

Start with who your child is, their nature will show you how to teach them

The Natural Curriculum is a framework for homeschool families who are done trying to re-create school at home — a way to take what your child is already interested in and turn it into real projects, real skills, and by the time they’re grown, a real portfolio to show to the world. It starts with identifying their Nature. Are they a Builder? Performer? Artist? Knowing your child is the first step in leading their education, and this doesn't happen in traditional schools.

Join a movement of families creating a new wave of education, each asking:

Who are my children born to be, and how can I guide them?

Your other curriculum is missing something.

You bought the beautiful curriculum, the one with the color-coded binders and every week mapped out for you, and you sat your child down at the table and watched their eyes go glassy in about four minutes. So you tried the other direction, threw the whole thing out, went curriculum-free, and what you got was chaos.

And somewhere in there you started wondering if the problem was you — whether you were organized enough, or consistent enough, or teacher enough to be doing this at all.

You're not the problem, and neither is your child. That glazed over look isn't a child failing at learning. It's the learning style failing the child, and it will keep failing them no matter how expensive it is, because it was never built for the way they are supposed to learn: which is naturally.

Grab the handbook, forty-four dollars. Works for each of your children.

Start where they already are.

Every child you've ever met has something they'd talk about until you secretly wished they would stop — snails, Roman soldiers, dirt bikes, Pokémon, sharks, drawing the same horse forty times. Most curriculums treat that obsession as something different than real learning, but it's actually the raw material that true learning is supposed to be made of.

The Natural Curriculum takes any given interest and walks it all the way through a full learning cycle, and along the way your child does research, planning, building, writing, measuring, and presenting — everything school teachers wish they could get from their students, but just can’t.

  1. Interest
  2. Activities
  3. Rhythm
  4. Projects
  5. Portfolio

Five verbs run the whole engine: Discover, Plan, Create, Share, Explore. The natural way humans learn, broken into steps.

The Heart Behind It

Meet Taylor

I'm Taylor. I have four boys, and when my oldest was small we chose to homeschool, which was the easy part — the hard part came after. I tried every curriculum I could find and they all felt like school in a prettier font, so I started watching my children instead, paying attention to what lit them up and what put them to sleep, and after a few years of that I had a system. This is it.

Start with two minutes and a question: how does your child create?

Some children build. Some children notice. Some children have to take the thing apart before they'll believe how it works. We call these ways of approaching the world the Nine Natures. Every child has a primary one and a secondary one.

When you can name it, everything downstream gets easier. You stop guessing which projects will land. You stop buying the wrong supplies. You stop reading your child as difficult when they're just being themselves at full volume.

The base curriculum

The Natural Learning Handbook

$44 · instant download · one purchase covers every child in your house, ages 5 through 18

What you get:

  • The Handbook, online and as a PDF you keep
  • The community, a room for every Nature
  • Your child's secondary Nature
  • An account with every child's Nature saved, activity ideas for them, and a record of what you did
  • One purchase, every child, nothing to renew

Seventy-six pages, and nothing you have to keep up with. This is the whole framework written out — how to spot an interest worth following, how to turn it into a week that actually holds together, how to build a rhythm that survives a busy week, and how to end up with a portfolio instead of a transcript.

What's inside:

  • The full six-step framework, with real examples
  • The Five Learning Verbs — the engine of the whole system
  • The Nine Natures — how to tell which one is your child, and what that changes about their week
  • The Interest Inventory — printable, with handwritten samples from actual children
  • The Interest Map — one interest, turned into a full week of learning
  • Weekly and daily rhythm templates, two structures to pick from
  • The Clarifying Toolkit — for when a generic interest of the week is "animals" and you need help turning that into something you can actually work with
  • Portfolio guidance, physical and digital, for every age

What comes with it

Buying the Handbook gets you into the community, which is a private group for families using this. There's a room for each of the nine Natures and one room for everyone, so when you want to know what another parent did with a nine-year-old who only wants to talk about ants, you can go ask the other parents of Naturalists.

It's new, and it's the part I'm most interested in growing. Come introduce yourself and your kid.

You also get an account where each child's Nature is saved, with activity ideas for them by Nature and age, and a place to note what you actually did.
