Year 7 Homeschool Curriculum Program
Price range: $440.00 through $780.00 inc. GST
Course Overview
Year 7 marks the beginning of secondary school with a curriculum that challenges and inspires. Students explore great ideas through classic literature, ancient history, science, geography, and civic understanding—all inspired by Charlotte Mason’s ideas.
Aligned with the Australian, NSW, and WA curriculum frameworks, our course provides a literature-rich, integrated approach that encourages critical thinking, meaningful connections across subjects, and personal growth. With guided narration, independent projects, and rich discussions, students are equipped for deeper learning and greater independence.
7A Summary (Term 1 & 2)
Semester A Overview
Semester A sets the tone for a vibrant and well-rounded year of discovery. This first half of the course helps students build confidence in structured learning while introducing them to the people, ideas, and forces that have shaped our world.
English
Students explore the theme of heroes through classic poetry, narrative writing, and literary analysis. Shakespeare copywork and visual text interpretation begin here, alongside a rich reading of The Richest Man in Babylon, which introduces timeless financial wisdom in story form.
Science
Science unfolds in two parts: Observing the Universe offers students a chance to explore the wonder of Earth and space science, while Simply Chemistry provides an introduction to atoms, elements, and chemical change.
Geography
In Geography, the topic Water in Our World examines the global water cycle, water scarcity, and real-world case studies from Australia, Japan, Vietnam, and Morocco. History invites students into the ancient Mediterranean, with engaging stories and visual timelines tracing the civilisations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome.
Arts
The semester also includes art and music appreciation, as well as opportunities for narration, personal notebooking, and project work—supporting both academic growth and creative expression. It’s a rich beginning to the year that fosters connection, curiosity, and confidence.
7B Summary (Term 3 & 4)
Semester B Overview
Semester B builds on the foundation of the first term with new opportunities for reflection, analysis, and global awareness. Students explore more complex texts, deepen their science investigations, and engage more directly with civic and social ideas.
English
In English, students learn about critical thinking, fallacies, and bias in literature. They complete a novel study using The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis, study persuasive writing techniques, and further expand their grammar and reasoning skills. Visual literacy is developed through text response tasks, and students are encouraged to write with both clarity and imagination.
Science
Science continues with Life in Order, a gentle yet rigorous introduction to biology, classification, and ecosystems. In Secrets of the Universe, students explore forces and motion through physics concepts that are clearly explained and visually rich.
Geography
Geography focuses on Liveable Places, encouraging students to consider what makes a community thrive while exploring fascinating locations around the world. Civics and Citizenship is introduced through A Civil Society, where students learn about democracy, justice, and the role of active citizenship in modern Australia.
History
In History, students explore Ancient China, with options to study either Deep Time and the First Australians (ACARA pathway) or Aboriginal Perspectives on Colonisation (NSW pathway). Additional literature such as Marvels of the East and compelling historical fiction enriches the experience.
Arts
This semester also integrates art, music, health, and physical education, with practical activities and opportunities for creative and critical expression. It is a deeply engaging and holistic second half of the course that encourages independent thought, connection-making, and a growing sense of global awareness.

Additional Costs
A separate maths curriculum will need to be purchased, as mathematics is not included in My Homeschool courses from year 3 onwards. Many families choose to use programs such as Maths Online, for which we are able to provide a 50% discount. Each semester also includes a small number of additional novels and non-fiction titles. A few options are provided from our living book lists, allowing families to choose what is most accessible for them. Some of these texts are available online for free, while others may need to be purchased. Families should also allow for general printing and stationery costs.
