Homeschool Buyers Club Provides Low Cost Homeschool Curriculum and Resources
The Homeschool Buyers Club is the world's largest buyers club for homeschooling families. Founded in 2005, we are a business dedicated to providing top-quality curriculum at the lowest price possible.
Like you, we are homeschoolers with a
love for family and a deep commitment to homeschooling.
Like you, we made the
profound and life-changing decision to assume full responsibility for our children's education. We understand the sacrifices and joy that this entails and have decided to devote our energies and talents to help other homeschooling families who have chosen to walk the same path.
On this page, you will learn why we started the Club, how we help you and other homeschoolers, what it costs to join (sneak peek:
it's FREE!), how we make our money, and why we hope you will join us.
Whether or not you join, you are welcome to browse our site, return as often as you like, and take full advantage of our many wonderful
homeschooling resources and services for homeschooling families!
Why have a Homeschool Buyers Club?
School districts get educational discounts -- why not homeschoolers?
The reason is simple: school districts have
purchasing power and homeschoolers don't because we buy
homeschool curriculum as
individuals.
The Club changes by combining the purchasing power of hundreds of thousands of homeschooling families around the country to give homeschoolers the same purchasing clout as school districts.

It is a simple proposition, and it works! Just take a look at the many educational suppliers in the
Index of Offers section to see the homeschool resources and curriculum
from 10% to 90% off their retail prices.
How the Club helps you...
- Great Deals: We offer the best deal anywhere for the vast majority of the products we sell. Our philosophy is that, as a buyers club, if we can't get you a better deal than you can get on your own, then we don't offer the product.
- Great Products: We are very selective about what products we offer. We look for products that have strong, independent validation, and we pay particular attention to products that are requested by our members. We are not interested in offering every product under the sun -- we seek only the best. However, we realize that no product works equally well for everyone, so we strive to give members some choices.
- Free Resources: We maintain an array of free and useful resources, including:
- A fully searchable database of reviews of free homeschool curriculum
- A vast database of homeschool field trips, many with reviews by homeschoolers, in our Field Trip Finder.
- The Internet's largest database of educational Contests & Scholarships available to homeschooled students.
- And more! Just look in the "Free Resources" section in the upper menu of any page on our site.
- SmartPoints Rewards Program: We give you 100 SmartPoints when you join, provide ways for you to build up your balance (view a complete list), and give away lots of SmartPoints for free as part of various promotions we run. When you have enough SmartPoints, you can use them to purchase more curriculum and supplements for your classroom from our catalog.
How much does membership cost?
Most people usually assume that, with all these great services, the Club must charge
something to become a member?
No! Club membership is ABSOLUTELY FREE!
But don't we sell your information to other companies?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Read our
Privacy Policy.
Here are our promises to you:
- We will not sell, rent, or otherwise make your personal information available to other people or organizations without your permission, except as may be required by law, except as needed to fufill orders, and except in conjunction with the sale or transfer of the Club and its assets to another business. See our complete Privacy Policy.
- We will never send you unsolicited emails. You have total control over your subscription on your My Profile page, available when you sign in.
- If you want to get our weekly newsletters or special offers, we will send you exactly what you ask for -- nothing more and nothing less.
- If you subscribe to our emails, each and every one we send will have an easy and convenient way to unsubscribe. Also, you can come back to our site at any time, sign in, and change any of your subscription options in My Profile.
- We will do our best to find the best deals for the best products for you to save your time and money.
How do we make our money?
Yes, membership is free. And yes, we give you the best deal on the planet for the products in our catalog. And yes, we have lots of expenses to cover, including salaries, advertising, servers, software licenses, etc. So how do we pay for it all and still give you the best value anywhere for the products we bring you?
- We keep our expenses low. We have no office buildings or fancy equipment. Our staff work out of their homes and communicate by phone, email, Skype, and online conferences. We do not staff a call center, but we pride ourselves on providing fast, courteous email support with priority to those who have billing issues. And, we don’t have a shipping facility – our suppliers drop ship your order for physical goods directly from their own warehouses.
- We charge service fees to help defray some of the direct costs of processing your order, such as credit card merchant charges and special setup costs.
- If we decide to bring their products to our membership, then the publishers not only give our members the best deal on the planet, but they pay us to advertise their offer to our membership and the wider homeschooling community. In some cases, that payment is a flat fee or a commission on sales. In other cases, they sell us the product at a wholesale price, marking it up just enough to cover our expenses. But no matter how it happens, we always take care to ensure that our members get the best deal on the planet.
But don't take our word for it -- do your homework! If we don't have the best deal, please
Let us know. We can't monitor the entire Internet by ourselves! If we can't give you a better value, we'll send you to someone who can.
