The 100 Best Educational Websites of 2017 - Purple Stamp of Approval
To inaugurate the new year, Homeschool Base recognizes educational, informational, and invaluable websites and online tools by posting our curated list of the top educational websites for the new year, 2017. Our TOP 100 list is an ideal way for teachers, educators, parents, and homeschools to discover new websites recommended by their peers.
Each website has received our endorsement and Purple Stamp of Approval. The Homeschool Base Purple Stamp of Approval honors exemplary websites, programs, and products that offer quality, innovative, unique, cost-effective, or significant value to homeschooling families.
Our TOP 100 websites are derived from the 10 categories of TOP 10 lists. All websites were all recommended by multiple teachers, home educators, and homeschool parents through surveys, email feedback, and research. Highly regarded companies and products that are not primarily website-based are not included. Homeschool parents and educators recommended both free and paid resources, curriculum, websites, and apps. Websites cannot pay to be listed as a Top 100 or Top 10 website. This list is subject to change only if a site closes. Honorable mentions have been included at the discretion of the staff.
