Unique and engaging sites that will spark a love of learning in your child
Online learning is here to stay but it can get expensive if you're not careful. We've compiled a list of websites that offer completely free learning options to help your kids study the subjects you feel they need.
Whether you're new to homeschooling or have been doing it for years, it's always helpful to have new options on hand to engage kids.
Don't Miss the Ultimate Guide to Online Learning at Home
This list offers suggestions for pre-k, elementary, middle, and high school students. We've left out the most obvious sites, such as Khan Academy, in favor of offering you other unique, engaging options that include basics like reading, science and math but run the gamut from art history to music.

01 The Metropolitan Museum of Art
What We Like
Extremely easy to navigate.
Turns art history into fun, simple lessons.
Multiple ways to engage kids of all ages.
What We Don't Like
We can't find one thing we don't like.
The Met is famous for fashion but a well-kept secret is its website for kids, #metkids. The site offers three different ways to engage kids in historical art facts: A clickable map that lets kids explore 5,000 years of art from around the world; a time machine lets them select different eras to explore; and a video section offers lessons on everything from making a stained glass window (kid-style) to learning about children who live in other parts of the world.

02 National Geographic Kids
What We Like
A wide variety of learning formats.
Factual information presented in entertaining ways.
What We Don't Like
It can be a bit difficult to find a desired subject in a specific format.
National Geographic is known for its factual information and its site for kids is no different. What's great about this site is that it offers lessons in gaming, video, and photo formats. Kids of all ages appreciate the short written lessons that accompany the visuals and even the quizzes on the site are designed to engage minds with short attention spans.

03 Open Culture
What We Like
Thousands of available courses.
Easy to use alphabetical list of topics.
What We Don't Like
You're not always sure where you'll end up online.
Open Culture compiles free upper level classes from universities all over the world and offers the links to users. Study archaeology from the University of Reading, public speaking from Missouri State, or psychiatry and mental health from the University of Sydney plus thousands of other topics. Classes are offered in both written and online formats (including audio books).

04 Funbrain
What We Like
Offers fun ways to problem-solve.
Is gated by grade level.
What We Don't Like
It's a little tricky to find certain subjects sometimes.
Lots of ads.
If you're looking for a site that offers math and reading options, plus offers games, videos and a general online playground, you've come to the right place. Funbrain is for kids from Pre-K through 8th grade and offers hundreds of free interactive games, books, videos, and printables.

05 Whyville
What We Like
Lots of unique activities to engage young minds.
It's sponsored to avoid ads.
You can explore the site on a limited guest account.
What We Don't Like
It's fairly juvenile for most teens.
Created by scientists, Whyville is a site for kds from 3rd to 8th grades. It offers an online community that engages kids by letting them explore, create and solve problems. They can learn to protect coral reefs, use a Whyville currency, participate in the Whyville Senate, and more.

What We Like
Unique approach to educational games.
Works on computer, laptops, and mobile devices.
What We Don't Like
You can't search by age or grade.
If you're looking for a site that has games that are out-of-the-box, try Toy Theater. These aren't racing games; they focus on teaching children about different topics such as learning time, the alphabet, measurement, numbers, and much more. The games are very easy to play and cover math, reading, art, and music using online manipulatives and other interactive options.
