Science Curriculum — Charlotte Mason · Eclectic — Books — Secular
Noeo Science fills an important niche: rigorous, literature-based science education that is explicitly secular. Many science curricula in the homeschool market are either Christian (Apologia) or textbook-heavy. Noeo uses living books — real science narratives, biographies, and illustrated references — combined with hands-on experiments and notebooking, following Charlotte Mason principles.
The curriculum is organized into three subjects (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), each offered at three levels. Each level includes a detailed schedule, a curated list of living books, and an experiment guide. Families purchase the instructor guide and then source the books (many are available at libraries). Experiment supplies are generally household items.
Noeo was created by a secular homeschool parent who wanted science instruction that was both engaging and worldview-neutral. The curriculum presents scientific concepts through narrative and discovery rather than rote memorization. It's particularly strong for families who want their children to develop a genuine interest in how the natural world works.
The curriculum is published by Logos Press and available through their website and homeschool retailers.
