Abeka Homeschool vs Memoria Press

Abeka Homeschool provides curriculum and teaching materials for students from K4 through grade 12, with textbooks, video lessons, teaching aids, kits and digital products. Abeka Academy offers full-grade video instruction across language arts, math, history and geography, science and health, and Bible. Lessons are taught by master teachers and available by streaming or DVD. The curriculum is faith-based and uses a spiral approach that revisits material through repetition and reinforcement. A family dashboard can support calendar customization, lesson assignment and tracking, grades and assignments, though available functions depend on purchased products. Digital textbooks come through VitalSource, with notes and highlights exportable to Microsoft OneNote. Abeka Academy’s accredited program is accredited by FACCS and MSA CESS; report cards and transcripts cost extra. The hybrid curriculum includes lesson plans, assessments, parent guidance and offline access. Abeka offers a free trial but no free plan. Prices vary by grade, courses, program option and book purchases, and additional fees can apply.
