VERDICT

Should I use Beautiful Feet Books?

K-12 literature-based homeschool curriculum and literature packs - bfbooks.com

Depends. Buy if you homeschool with a Charlotte Mason / living-books style and can spend $255–285 per history course. Skip it if you want a secular, workbook-style, or all-subject curriculum.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14+ public sources; most user-review snippets were truncated, so verbatim quotes were unavailable.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Teacher guides are often sold separately from book packs — price the full package first.

medium

Independent review volume is thin (one aggregator lists ~9 reviews) — hard to judge support.

low

Regular prices shown crossed out ($30x vs $255.95) — sales look constant; never pay list.

low

Charter funding requires emailed purchase-request letters — expect admin back-and-forth.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Deep K-12 catalog spanning history, geography, science, and art
  • Course packs bundle books and guides; frequent discounts off list price
  • Charter-school funding accepted with a purchase-order process
  • Long track record: founded 1984, Inc. 5000 honoree in 2021
  • Covered by Cathy Duffy Reviews across several subject areas

Cons

  • Courses cost $255–285 upfront — steep for one subject
  • Faith-flavored titles (character/Bible studies) — not secular-neutral
  • Guess: read-aloud-heavy; needs substantial daily parent time
  • History-focused catalog doesn't replace math, phonics, or grammar
