Master Books is a Christian curriculum publisher that has grown rapidly in the homeschool market with its promise of 'open and go' simplicity. Every course comes with a daily lesson plan that tells you exactly what pages to read, what assignments to complete, and what discussions to have — all laid out day by day for the full year.

The curriculum is anchored in a young-earth creationist worldview, with science courses authored by well-known creation scientists. Their math program (Math Lessons for a Living Education) uses a story-based approach that many families find more engaging than traditional textbooks. History courses use living books and biographical narratives rather than dry textbooks.

What to Know

Master Books courses typically cost $80–$120 each and are designed to be used with minimal parent preparation. The daily lesson plans are the key selling point — parents don't need to plan or create schedules. Just open the book and follow the day's instructions.

The curriculum works well for families who want a Christian worldview thoroughly integrated into every subject with minimal planning overhead. It's particularly popular for science and history. Some families find the academic rigor lighter than programs like BJU Press or Abeka, which can be a pro or con depending on your goals.
