What is Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool?

Easy Peasy helps enable families to homeschool who thought they couldn’t because of a lack of time, money, or know-how. Others join EP just because it’s easy and fun and they’re confident of the quality of education. We seek to free families from the burden of pursuing the “perfect” and encourages them to let it be “enough.” Each family and each child is different and we want to encourage your family to be who you were created to be.

In 2011, I (Lee Giles) began putting my children’s assignments online so that they could work independently and so that I had the assignments saved for their younger siblings. I also wrote it from the beginning to be able to be used by other families. EP grade levels and individual courses include 180 days of homeschool lessons and assignments. It covers reading, writing, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, math, history/social studies/geography, science, Spanish, Bible, computer, music, art, PE/health, and logic. It uses only free materials found on the internet.

This site holds preschool, kindergarten, and first through eighth. We have a separate high school site. Choosing a level (on My EP) will set reading, language arts, math, computer and logic, any of which can be switched to a more appropriate level without affecting the others. Choosing a theme enables all of your children to study the same topic at the same time. The themes are based around the history courses of ancient history, early American history, geography and cultures, and modern history. Music and art are part of these themes and science is set to what would typically be studied at the same time.

You choose the courses. Set it and forget it. Then your child just clicks on the assignment box for each course (found on My EP) and does their assignment. It will track what lesson they are on and their days. It does not save any other information. We do not keep any records of your students. It’s just an aid for you.

And yes, it’s all free. You’ll need paper, pencil, etc. and some minor supplies if you choose to do the experiments and art projects, but all of the reading materials, etc. are all free and online. We do offer offline courses for math, reading, and language arts, which you can find in our store. In the store you can also find workbooks of Printables, the worksheets used in the online courses so that you don’t have to print. There is a suggested donation for using My EP if you so choose.

My hope is to enable families to continue homeschooling no matter their life circumstances. A sister site, All-in-One High School, holds the high school courses.

You can read my responses to the questions “Is it enough?” and “How can this be free?”.

You can read more about the curriculum on the About and Overview pages. You can also see if your questions have been answered on the FAQ page.

Note: EP is not an online school. We are a homeschool resource. Your home is the school! You are the administrator. We’re just here to help you on your way.

New on the Site

This was announced on My EP, but there is now a PIN protection option on the parent settings page if you have a need of it to keep kids from changing settings.

This was announced on the high school site, but there’s a new half-year math course on the site, Everyday Math Applications.

It reviews basics and then is based on word problems from around the home, from figuring out how much paint you need, to adjusting recipes, to saving money on your electric bill. Our other two half-credit math courses are Consumer Math and Business Math. I had a student email me and tell me how helpful the Consumer Math course was and how grateful she was to have taken it. She said what she learned has really come in handy and she understands so much more than her friends.

Is Your Faith in God?

Did you ever “believe” for something and it didn’t happen? What was wrong?

What went wrong is that we place our faith in the wrong thing. We put faith in our faith. We’ve made a “Christian” copy of the “Power of Positive Thinking.” We try to control things. We’re not God.

We make terrible gods. You shouldn’t want to control things. You don’t know the future. You don’t know the plan. You don’t know the best way. If you have goals other than God’s perfect purposes being worked out in and through you, then you are aiming at the wrong goal.

We want God’s “perfect” for ourselves and our loved ones, and hopefully for everyone! What’s our part in bringing it about? We believe. Our part is having faith. But what do we have faith in?

Did you ever wonder at Elijah’s faith that it would only rain at his word and then wonder at his lack of faith, running away in fear? What happened? Why was there faith in one circumstance and not the other?

God had told him that it wasn’t going to rain and when it was going to rain again. He had the Lord’s sure word. He could rely on His God’s faithfulness to keep His truthful word. He had no word from the Lord about Jezebel wanting to kill him. He fled instead of running to God.

We need to put our faith in what we know. We don’t know God’s plans. We don’t know how He’s going to do things. If He does more than we can ask and even imagine, then we’re never going to be able to have faith for the specific thing God is doing. We don’t know what it is! We can’t even imagine! We want that more-than-we-can-even-imagine, not the limited-view thing we want and try to “believe” for. Even if we feel sure we know what is promised us and can have faith in that, I still say, it’s a limited view of faith to put your faith in a thing to happen. Even if you are absolutely right that promise is coming and can believe it, you don’t know the steps along the way to get the fulfillment. Don’t put your faith in what you think should happen next.

So, what do we put our faith in? Faith is knowing. We can only put our faith in what we know. Knowing is different than trying to stir up faith through declarations. If you know something, you don’t need to keep trying to convince yourself it’s true!

What do we have faith in? We put our faith in God. He is steadfast, sure, unchanging. He’s a steady rock to plant your faith on. We can know He will always be good. We can know His motivation will always be love. We can know He will be faithful. We can know He will be true. We can know He will be righteous and just. We can know He will be wise. We can know He knows it all!

When the doctor said my son’s surgery couldn’t wait, I didn’t have faith for healing. I would have been faking it and trying to stir it up. I would have been trying to make his healing happen through my work of faith. (That’s working in your own strength.) But there was something I knew. The doctor said it was “impossible” for my son’s condition to improve, that it would only deteriorate. I knew it wasn’t impossible. I told God I knew it wasn’t impossible. I knew my God was able to do what the doctor called impossible. That was our faith as we prayed for healing, though we didn’t know what would happen. My faith was in what I knew to be true about my God – He is able, He is good, He is in control, etc. It wasn’t impossible. My son’s condition improved, and years later now, he’s still never had that surgery that “couldn’t wait.”

How much easier could you pray if you weren’t trying to have faith for things, but rested in prayer in true faith in the good God who does all things well?

Know Him. That’s your pursuit, knowing Him. We’ll be getting to know Him for all eternity. You won’t reach the end; the relationship will never grow stale; there will always be more to glory in when it comes to our glorious God.

Desire Him and all His “perfect” for your life. Trust Him and rest in Him with gratitude.

Love Not Fear

Most of you are familiar with the famous story of Job from the Bible. He was the wealthiest man of the East in his time. He also had seven sons and three daughters. And although he feared God and stayed away from evil, there was something else he feared.

Job 1:5 …Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually.

Job was afraid his children would sin and die and so he acted as mediator between God and his children and made offerings to God on their behalf, wanting to justify them before God. He was trying to save his kids.

Are you homeschooling out of fear? Are you trying to save your kids? Whether you are wanting to save their souls or save them from the school system, fear should never be the motivator, and saving your kids is not your job.

We feel the heavy weight of homeschooling because we take on a burden that isn’t ours. Your child’s future is not in your hands. You don’t know the plan. Someone else does, though.

Don’t carry the weight of a burden that you were never intended to carry. You aren’t the primary teacher, provider, protector, comforter, rescuer, and savior to your kids. Those are words that describe God. You are not God. Taking on a role that’s way too big for you will crush you. Even if you are a “Pintrest perfect” mom and seem to be crushing it today, you will never have the ability to see into the future to know what your children need today to be prepared for tomorrow.

There is Someone who can work it all out for the best, who can meet every need, and who gives you a specific job to do: love your children. Enjoy them. Enjoy being with your kids.

Fear is not the motivation to homeschool; love is. Do it out of love.

Job loses all of his children. He loses all his possessions. He gains an understanding that God is awesome, bigger than we can imagine, in control, all-knowing, all-powerful, only good and always loving. Job learns that he isn’t God.

I will not encourage you to self-empowerment; I will encourage you to truth. The truth declarations I remind myself of are that I know nothing, can do nothing, and have nothing. Jesus is my all in all. In Christ I have everything, can do everything, and in trusting Jesus, I know that I don’t need to know everything; I just need to know Him.

If you are carrying a burden too big for you, give it over to God. Just pray. Tell Him you are giving it to Him to carry. Thank Him for taking it and for doing a better job than you could. If you don’t know God, tell Him you want to get to know Him. Who wouldn’t want to know an always good, always loving God? And to start getting to know God or to get to know Him better, I would suggest to you the Bible study on our site, “This Is Eternal Life.”

Don’t Make Haste

March 4, 2025Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool10 Comments

Maybe you’ve heard it said, “God is never in a hurry.” I was thinking this morning that applies more broadly than it may seem at first.

Jesus stops on the way to heal someone’s dying daughter. She ends up dying before He gets there. He still goes, unhurried. He raises her from the dead. But you know when else Jesus didn’t make haste? Before He overturns tables and drives the merchants out of the temple courts, he makes a whip.

You can get the idea that Jesus sees the temple marketplace and in His zeal for His Father’s house starts scattering coins. But He doesn’t fly off in a rage. He stops. He stops and makes a whip first.

How often are you reactionary?

Do you ever make homeschooling decisions as a reaction? Things don’t go well one day and you jump ship and try something else without considering maybe there’s a miracle up ahead if you stay the course.

Do you ever make a decision in a moment of zeal without first looking over what’s needed?

I can remind myself even in the kitchen, “Don’t make haste,” if I start hurrying about. It will get done. Things get done if you just keep moving, no need for the hurry.

There’s the busy kind of haste, where everything seems to be hurry up and go. I determine not to be busy. I keep well ahead of things so it doesn’t come down to, “I HAVE TO do this now.” If something’s on the calendar, it’s because we chose to have it there, not because we HAVE TO do something. There are choices. We can choose to not be rushed about. We can choose to not make haste.

I live a slow life. I learned it several years back. I asked the Lord to teach me to live in His strength. The result of that prayer was a slow life. I don’t make haste. I stay the course. I wait on the Lord and trust Him. I’m not here and there and back again. I do what’s in front of me to do right now without feeling the weight of all that’s still left to do.

And I stop and pause and pray because I don’t want to make decisions as a reaction and I don’t want words to come out as a reaction.

I don’t want to make haste. I want to make peace in my life and in my home.

Thanks Giving

I started cooking on Tuesday for our Thursday feast. I’m hosting in Pennsylvania and will have guests from North Carolina and Georgia. As I’m standing at the stove, I’m working on giving thanks for the chance to serve and show love and praying for all the others standing at the stove stirring pots. So, maybe I prayed for you 🙂

I do pray for my EP family regularly. That’s all of you and your kids and your families. Whenever I’m bagging up our groceries at the store, I pray especially for any EP families struggling with the budget. I pray all sorts of things for you all. I pray for your kids for the schooling. I pray for relationships in the home. I pray for things like the fruit of the Spirit to grow in orchards in your homes 🙂 I pray for prodigals to return. I pray for the Lord to raise up laborers from our EP kids.

I am thankful you are part of our EP family. That is how I refer to you all, my EP family. I hope you are full of thanks. The sun rose each day this year. You are alive and reading this. Always find the place of thanks giving in each day.

Below is Psalm 145 written out as a prayer.

We exalt you, our God and King. We praise your name forever and ever. We praise you every day; we will praise you forever.

Great are you Lord! You are most worthy of praise! No one can measure Your greatness.

May we tell of your mighty acts and proclaim your power.

May we meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles and awe-inspiring deeds.

May we proclaim your greatness and share the story of your wonderful goodness. May we sing with joy about your righteousness.

Lord you are merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. You are good to everyone. You shower compassion on all your creation.

May all of your works thank you, Lord, and your faithful followers praise you.

May we speak of the glory of your kingdom and be examples of your power.

May we share the good news of your mighty deeds and the majesty and glory of your reign.

For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and you will rule throughout all generations.

Lord, you always keep your promises. You are gracious in all you do.

Lord, you help those who have fallen and those bent under a heavy load.

May we always look to you in hope. You will always supply what we need. You open your hand to us and satisfy our hunger and thirst.

Lord, you are righteous in all you do; you are filled with kindness.

You are close to all you call on you in truth and you grant the desires of those who fear you. You hear our cries and rescue us. You protect us who love you.

We will praise the Lord. May everyone on earth bless your holy name forever and ever.
