I am looking for an online limudei kodesh curriculum for elementary age girls.

My daughter might qualify for home instruction from the board of Ed for secular subjects but I would want something for kodesh. I know Chabad has such resources but we are not Chabad and my DH would not feel comfortable with having her learn from Chabad sources.

I guess we would be called yeshivish, but we are more open-minded than some.

Does anyone know of anything out there!

It's been a while since I looked into them, it looks like Room613 isn't active anymore, sorry! It was a short (1-2 hours a day) live classroom with a few different tracks.

Melamed Academy, from what I understand, is more of a guided curriculum. It is not a live classroom. You are given a weekly packet of work to complete, mostly from online materials, and a teacher grades you and gives feedback. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I didn't actually sample a class, this is from hearing someone speak about it.)

There are several live high school options, but other than the Jewish Online School (which is Chabad run, but caters to non-Chabad students), I don't know of any other live elementary ones.

Unfortunately there is very little in the sense of a single comprehensive curriculum, you really need to DIY although the resources are out there.

Torah4children as mentioned has wonderful workbooks, as does Rietti and others linked in the JewishHomeschool wix site site linked above.

I have a curriculum goal list by grade level, but it will probably be more practical to try to follow the grade level in the school you plan to send her to eventually.

I would also check out the Jewish online school. Its not cheap though...$3,790 per year for 2 hours a day, 4 days per week. That works out at $100 per week. You could also source your own teacher and pay them privately, and/or buy your own curriculum.

This website has a good chumash curriculum if you like.
