welcome friend!

My name is Crystal and we’ve been homeschooling since 2014! We’re passionate about adventures and living books…

After reading Charlotte Mason’s volumes and dabbling in various homeschool methods, I created Simple Studies in 2019 as a way to incorporate classic, living books, narration and nature study with our kids every morning at the table together.

Now, I feel incredibly humbled that thousands of families enjoy Simple Studies around the world! My goal is to bring joy and simplicity to your multi-age homeschool or classroom using handbooks with lessons on everything from American and world history to earth science, mammalogy, entomology, fairy tales, language arts, character development, and more.

Each Simple Studies guide offers either K-6 or K-8 children simple, comprehensive lessons using living chapter and picture and chapter book lists, narration prompts and discussion questions, exciting printables, diagrams, coloring pages for Pre-K students to use during read alouds, Handbook of Nature Study guidance when appropriate, and depending on the study; poetry, songs, illustrations, copywork, maps, simple projects, drills and more.

Thank you for considering Simple Studies today. Blessings to you and your family!
