A full year of print-ready homeschool curriculum for Pre-K through 8th grade — Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies — completely free with a Lumi Academy account. No purchase, no trial, no credit card. Here's exactly what's inside and how to get it.
Open the Vault — Free →Lumi Academy's Curriculum Vault is a set of full-year, print-ready PDF workbooks — one per grade, Pre-K through 8th — covering the four core subjects most homeschool families need to plan a school year around: Math, ELA (reading and writing), Science, and Social Studies. It used to be a paid add-on. It isn't anymore. Every current grade, and every grade added in the future, is free for any Lumi Academy account, whether or not that account has a paid app subscription attached to it.
To be direct about what "free" means here: you don't pay anything for the Vault itself, but you do need a Lumi Academy account — free to create, no card required — because downloads are tied to a signed-in account rather than sitting on an open public page. That's the only step between you and the PDFs.
A full 36-week scope and sequence with teaching notes per unit, student practice pages (20–30 problems per set), unit assessments, and a complete answer key — from number sense through pre-algebra depending on grade.
Original reading passages with comprehension questions, grammar lessons and practice, weekly spelling and vocabulary lists, guided writing prompts, and handwriting practice pages for younger grades.
Five full units per grade spanning life, earth, physical, and space science, each with parent teaching notes, student pages, simple at-home experiments, diagrams to label, and unit quizzes.
Four to five units on history, geography, civics, and economics matched to grade level, including map activities, timeline projects, primary source readings for older grades, and unit assessments.
Every grade runs 70+ pages once you count all four subjects, prints to standard US Letter size (8.5×11), and is 100% secular — there's no religious content built into any grade or subject, so it works regardless of your family's worldview.
Pre-K/Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade — nine full grade levels, each with its own complete four-subject curriculum. You aren't limited to one grade per account either; if you're homeschooling multiple kids in different grades, every grade's PDFs are available to the same account.
This fits families who want a real, structured backbone for a homeschool year without paying for a boxed curriculum — whether that's a primary curriculum for the whole year, a supplement alongside another program, a backup for days the internet or an app isn't practical, or simply something to flip through before deciding whether Lumi Academy's full app is worth trying. It's genuinely usable as a standalone print curriculum; you don't need the Lumi Academy app itself to get value from the PDFs, though the app's daily guided lessons are a separate, complementary way to cover the same subjects on a screen.
To be upfront about scope: the Vault is static, print-only content — teaching notes, practice pages, and answer keys on paper. It doesn't grade itself, track progress automatically, or read questions aloud to a kid the way the Lumi Academy app's guided lessons do. If you want the interactive, spoken, auto-tracked version of this same subject coverage, that's the paid or free-trial Academy app, not the Vault. The Vault is the printable version, and it's free on its own regardless of whether you ever try the app.
It's actually free. The Curriculum Vault is included with any Lumi Academy account, including the free tier — no purchase, no trial period, and no credit card required. You do need to create a free Lumi Academy account (just an email and password) to unlock the download page, but nothing beyond that is required.
Pre-K/Kindergarten through 8th grade, with a full-year curriculum for each grade covering Math, ELA (reading and writing), Science, and Social Studies — four core subjects per grade, nine grade levels total.
Each grade's curriculum downloads as a print-ready PDF sized to standard US Letter (8.5x11 inches), so it prints cleanly at home or at a copy shop and fits a standard 3-ring binder. Printing double-sided saves paper if you're building a full-year binder.
No. A paid Academy subscription is not required. The Curriculum Vault unlocks for every signed-in Lumi Academy account, free or paid, because it's a separate free benefit rather than a subscription feature.
Fully secular. There is no religious content in any grade level or subject, so it works for any homeschool family regardless of worldview.
Nine grade levels, four subjects each, completely free — sign in or create a free account and start downloading.
Get It Free →The free printable curriculum in the Curriculum Vault is part of Lumi Academy's broader homeschool system: daily lessons for kids, practical records for parents, and a simple setup that supports more than one child in the same family.
The product combines guided lessons, child profiles, parent dashboards, attendance, report cards, standards tracking, printable resources like the Vault, and app-store/PWA access. The goal is to reduce planning while keeping learning visible.
Instead of asking parents to assemble separate tools for curriculum, grading, records, and motivation, Lumi keeps those pieces connected inside one learning flow — and the printable Vault is simply the paper-based half of that same subject coverage.
On paper, kids work through teaching notes, practice pages, and unit assessments at their own pace. In the app, kids start from their own profile and move through a guided session with a friendly on-screen teacher, short explanations, interactive questions, and instant encouragement.
Parents can review lesson history, scores, subject progress, standards touched, attendance, and printable summaries in the app, or simply grade the Vault's included answer keys directly. That turns daily learning into usable homeschool documentation instead of a vague "we did school today" memory.
Because the Vault is free and stands on its own, you can use it as your entire curriculum, mix it with the app, or keep it as a backup for offline days — without ever paying more than the cost of paper and ink.
Most families treat the Vault one of two ways: as the entire year's curriculum on its own, printed and bound like a boxed program, or as a print companion to the Lumi Academy app — using the app for daily guided lessons and the Vault's pages for extra practice, review, or days away from a screen. Both are reasonable ways to use it, since neither the Vault nor the app requires the other.
If you are comparing free curriculum sources, look closely at whether a "free" page actually gives you a complete, gradable, full-year product or just a handful of sample worksheets. The Vault is a full-year, four-subject curriculum per grade with an included answer key, not a sample pack.
Yes. Each grade's four-subject PDF is designed as a complete, standalone year of Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies — not a supplement-only sample.
No. The Vault works entirely on its own. The Lumi Academy app is a separate, optional way to cover similar subjects interactively on a screen.
Open the Curriculum Vault, sign in or create a free account, and download the grade (or grades) you need — then decide whether to use it standalone or alongside the app.
