find_curriculum
Use this when a user wants to find or get recommendations for homeschool curriculum, educational programs, or learning materials for their children. Searches a curated database of 350+ expert-reviewed homeschool offerings and returns personalized matches based on the child's grade level, learning style, family values, budget, and special needs. subjects is a hard filter results always satisfy. worldview is too, but it widens: a specific worldview request also returns worldview-neutral offerings, which suit any household. grade_level is a hard filter except that an offering with no grade range recorded appears at every grade. budget_max filters on an offering's annual cost where known, otherwise its lowest listed price, so a result may cost more at higher levels, and one whose price is unknown may appear at any budget. offering_types, when given, is a hard filter; each match reports its offering_type. learning_style, special_needs, parent_time, and format_preference influence ranking. Do not use for lesson planning, scheduling, legal compliance questions, or tutoring.

}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| subjects | No | Always pass as an array, e.g. ["math","science"]. Use ["all"] for comprehensive curriculum. | |
| worldview | No | Family's religious/philosophical preference. 'any' means no preference. | |
| budget_max | No | Maximum annual budget in USD, compared against an offering's annual cost where known (a monthly price times twelve, for example), otherwise its lowest listed price. Results carry price (the publisher's figure, its period and its currency; USD unless stated, a few offerings are priced only in GBP and are compared at face value) and annual_cost when known. 0 selects offerings with a free tier; many of those also sell paid levels, and an offering whose price is unknown carries no price range at all — so do not tell a family something is free without checking what the result actually shows. | |
| grade_level | Yes | The child's current or target grade level. | |
| parent_time | No | Daily parent teaching time. 'minimal' = under 1hr, 'moderate' = 1-3hrs, 'intensive' = 3+hrs. | |
| special_needs | No | Always pass as an array, e.g. ["adhd","dyslexia"]. Any learning differences or special needs. Use ["none"] if none. | |
| learning_style | No | Always pass as an array, e.g. ["visual","hands_on"]. How the child learns best. | |
| offering_types | No | Optional hard filter on the kind of offering, e.g. ["online_school"]. Leave it out to search every type. online_school enrolls a student in a school that issues grades or a transcript; curriculum is materials a family teaches from. See dataset://vocabulary. | |
| format_preference | No | Always pass as an array, e.g. ["online","hybrid"]. Preferred curriculum delivery format. |
