Curriculum

A curriculum is a planned set of materials and lessons for a subject, usually bought from a publisher, such as a math program or a history series.

Homeschool families often combine curricula from different publishers, or build their own from books and resources. The word is also used for the whole plan of what a child studies.

For the record you keep

Record the curriculum name with each subject; subjects and materials are among the first things an evaluator or reader looks for.
