Guest Hollow

Welcome to Guest Hollow!

We’re so glad you’re here! Relax, you’re among friends. Get ready for a big boost in your homeschool enjoyment level!

My name is Jenn Guest, and Guest Hollow originally began when I started creating homeschool curriculum for my own children. Like many homeschooling parents, I wanted lessons that were engaging, meaningful, and memorable. I began designing materials to help spark my children’s curiosity and to make learning something our whole family could enjoy. ❤️

Over time, what started as something just for my own kids grew into something much bigger. Other families began using the materials I created, and Guest Hollow gradually grew into the business it is today.

My goal is still the same as it was in the beginning: to help families create lasting memories while learning things that truly stick. When lessons spark curiosity and keep both parents and students engaged, homeschooling becomes something everyone can look forward to!

In March 2026, Guest Hollow became a three-generation family business. My daughter Hannah, a second-generation homeschooler, became Guest Hollow’s social media and marketing manager. Hannah is now homeschooling her own children, giving her firsthand insight into what today’s homeschooling families want and need. My mom, Gay, also joined the team, rounding out our family effort.

As a former homeschooling mom, I understand the joys, challenges, and everyday realities of homeschooling because my family lived it ourselves. Everything I create at Guest Hollow comes from that real-life experience and a genuine desire to help other homeschooling families thrive.

We care deeply about homeschooling families and the incredible work you do every day. And when you need help, encouragement, or support, we’re always here for you!

We also pride ourselves on the community we have developed and invite you to join us on our many Facebook groups which you can find here: https://www.facebook.com/guesthollow/groups

Why choose Guest Hollow?

Kids who’ve disliked their other curriculum(s) love the switch to Guest Hollow! That’s the comment we have heard over and over again, and it’s no wonder. Guest Hollow’s non-traditional approach features curricula that not only make use of outstanding book selections, but also engage students with a plethora of activities, videos, recipes, and much more. We also schedule educational materials and printables designed to help make teaching and learning easier, while engaging both gifted and reluctant learners.

“I went to public high school and took Chemistry 1 & 2, but nothing in those classes would have actually helped me to pursue a science related career. My kids are learning so much more than I ever did in those classes and have retained it all! I memorized formulas, vocabulary words, methods, and all the other traditional chemistry concepts, but it meant nothing because it was all for a test and a grade. The things my kids are learning with this program are being learned organically and the concepts are coming up in everyday situations. They know their stuff!!!”

“We just completed our year of Beowulf’s Grammar. We all loved it and learned so much! My ten year old son actually cried when we did our last page.”
Beowulf’s Grammar Customer
We are loving this LA program! My 10 year old has ADHD and it has been a struggle to get her to write ANYTHING the past few years. We backed off when the pandemic started in March and just picked back up with Guest Hollow in September. She is willingly writing (even on her own!) and enjoying it. My 7 year old would not even write a sentence by herself last year and now she’ll write a paragraph with confidence and doesn’t have a meltdown when I help her correct spelling & grammar.
Language Arts Customer
“My son is starting college next year and this curriculum has sparked a love of history. He wants to minor in history now next to political science. He loves the curriculum.”
High School American History Customer
“I hated biology before I found Guest Hollow! I am a visual learner, and Guest Hollow Biology gives tons of videos to watch, reading interesting books, and hands-on activities like dissecting and experiments. Now I love biology thanks to Guest Hollow!”
Callie C. – A student using Guest Hollow Biology
This is our last week with Anatomy & Physiology and my son loved it. We used Biology last year so were familiar with the format…we love all the living books, the variety (books, videos, activities), the schedule. It was perfect for my humanities-minded son. On to Chemistry in the Kitchen next year!
High School Anatomy Curriculum Customer
“Guest Hollow’s Botany curriculum is fantastic! This program is easy to follow and full of various projects, activities, and resources to tackle all learning styles. I have been a homeschool parent for over 10 years now. I get frustrated with standard curriculum that often lacks fun supplementals or ideas to change up learning when things get overwhelming, so I was determined to seek out a new program last year and am so happy I ran across Guest Hollow! It helped to create the best subject in our school year yet! Excellent customer service and thorough research obviously went into this program. I’ve been an avid gardener for numerous years and very much enjoyed this program with my son. We both learned a lot and enjoyed every moment. We wish we could do it again this year!”
Tosha B. – Botany Customer
“We absolutely loved this curriculum! It was so sweet and fun!”
Jessica W. – Science of Seasons Curriculum Customer

Nurturing a love of learning and an excitement about what may be around the next bend is our goal. With Guest Hollow, rather than begrudgingly having to endure tomorrow’s pre-programmed and totally predictable textbook page assignment, we hope to engender a sense of anticipation, and even an eagerness to “do school”. We do this by keeping fresh and engaging material coming at your student through creatively scheduling a multiplicity of diverse materials and activities in our curriculum. We have gotten anecdotal reports of some students expressing real disappointment that they have to ‘stop for the day’ and return to the curriculum tomorrow for the next lesson. We count that as true success.

Take a look at our free samples on each curriculum page and see for yourself why so many students and parents want to stick with the Guest Hollow style of learning!

Where We’ve Been & Where We Are Going in the Future

Guest Hollow has been around for many years, but up until a few years ago, we were just a hobby site devoted to sharing our love of homeschooling with tips and opinions.

We decided to throw ourselves fully into the homeschool materials business and were rewarded with copious amounts of customer accolades and surprising early success. In fact, we’ve repeatedly won numerous Practical Homeschooling’s Reader’s Choice Awards and we’ve been picked as one of homeschool luminary Cathy Duffy’s Top 103 picks!

Thanks to our customers who spread the word about us, Guest Hollow, LLC is becoming better known and is growing at an astounding rate. As both new and veteran homeschoolers all over the world discover our materials and see for themselves the impact that our curriculums have on their students, they have been kind enough to tell others about Guest Hollow. For that we are truly indebted and extremely appreciative.

We Really Do Care About YOU

We LOVE our customers, and we offer unprecedented extras and freebies in honor of God’s many blessings in our lives. You’ll notice our beloved and extensive online biology curriculum is absolutely FREE, and will always remain so, as a part of our ministry to the homeschool community.

Our curriculum customers love the fact that they get a printable curriculum schedule, as well as access to an online schedule in a more visual format, with easy access to internet links and videos.

We believe that life is more than just money and while Guest Hollow, LLC provides us the income we need for gas and food, we do not make money the foremost priority.

We price our materials so that they can be afforded by almost anyone, and we will continue to do so. We have people tell us regularly that we should charge more… and perhaps they are right, but it is important to us to keep things as affordable as we can. We also offer quite a few free items on the site, including full length, interactive online textbooks.

In special circumstances we may choose to offer some of our normally for-cost Guest Hollow material for free, to a limited number of families who are suffering serious financial hardship on a case-by-case basis. If you are enduring severe financial hardships, please click here for more information.

We also have a blog where you can get hints and tips as well as read some of our recommendations and personal stories.

Communicating and interacting with our customers is very important, so we also manage a number of Facebook pages where you can interact with other homeschoolers using or considering our products, interact with us, and ask questions or offer opinions to the community. Click here for a list of those Facebook pages and a list of places we interact on other social media outlets.

Of course, you can contact us directly at any time!

Guest Hollow, LLC may not be the most fancy-looking and flashy curricula and
homeschool product website out there, but our site is packed with love and a fresh way of creating materials that are different.
