Everything your child needs to learn before graduation—clearly mapped.

A simple, K-12 guide designed to quiet the worry of "missing something important" without requiring a new curriculum or a rigid schedule.

You aren’t missing anything important.

Most homeschool parents carry a quiet worry: What if my child graduates with gaps I didn't see coming? This fear often leads to over-accumulation and exhaustion. We created this map to answer that question clearly so you can return to the work of living and learning together.

A clear, big-picture map for the whole landscape.

  • Decision-Reducing Reference: Use it when questions arise to see the whole picture at once. 
  • Standards-Safe Overview: A bird’s-eye view of what belongs in a complete education without the micromanagement. 
  • Curriculum-Independent: Understand how families approach every subject without buying piles of consumable programs.

Education is a vocation, not a project.

We believe parents are the responsible stewards of their children's education. This guide is a servant to your judgment, not a master to your schedule. It exists to remove unnecessary burdens so your family can live and learn faithfully within the gifts God has given.

What to expect inside the guide.

Organized by subject and stage, each section shows you:

  • What typically belongs in a complete K-12 education. 
  • How learning naturally unfolds over time. 
  • Classical and Living Arts Press recommendations for a calm, sufficient approach.

This is not another checklist.

In keeping with our commitment to restraint, this guide is not:

  • A daily schedule or a day-by-day plan. 
  • A requirement to overhaul what you are already doing. 
  • A measuring stick for comparison.

A Note from Sarah Rose Larson

Sarah is a mother, teacher, and founder of Living Arts Press™. Rooted in a confessional Lutheran understanding of vocation, Sarah writes to provide homeschool families with the clarity and confidence they need to move slowly. She created this Learning Map to bridge the gap between classroom standards and the quiet reality of life at home.

I created this because I know the weight of the "quiet worry."

You are allowed to move slowly.

Clarity returns when you can see the whole again. Whether you are just starting or nearing graduation, you are allowed to choose what is sustainable. This guide is here to remind you that much of what matters is already happening in your home.

Reclaim your confidence.
