KONOS, a unit study which does history, Bible, science, arts and crafts, drama, literature, while studying godly character traits. The history is not in chronological order (except for Vol. 2, which is early American history), but in the course of the three volumes it's all covered, and the timeline puts it all together.
Beautiful Feet Books study guides don't have grade levels, but they don't start with Creation.
Greenleaf Press's "Famous Men of..." series begins with Creation.
The Weaver is a unit study which begins with Creation.

For science, you might consider God's Design. It is made to be used by multi-levles and goes through 8th grade. Sample pages at CBD.

Steck-Vaughn is similar to MCP in that it uses letters instead of grade levels for most of their series. Winston Grammar only uses "basic" and "advanced" for their series. Wordsmith (www.cspress.com) uses "wordsmith apprentice", "wordsmith", and "wordsmith craftsman". LLATL uses colors instead of grade levels. Even Singapore Math's secondary levels start back at 1 for their books. A lot of math books in middle school and high school are labeled with the course name rather than grade level (i.e. fundamental math instead of 7th grade, prealgebra instead of 8th, etc.)

I know I saw Sonlight but I don't think I saw anyone mention Winter's Promise.

Are you overwhelmed yet????? :)
There's so much out there!!! It's crazy, really! Now you know why we need so much support here! LOL! Way too much of a good thing, ya know!?
In fact, I think you'd be better off just weeding out the programs that DO have specific grade levels on the books, which are mostly the major traditional school publishers...except ACE. ;0) The programs listed here in this thread are *mostly* written BY homeschoolers, FOR homeschoolers who are thinking along the same lines as you are..."learning-levels/ranges" rather than "grades".

You are right. I quickly found what I wanted was mostly unit studies written by homeschoolers.;0)

So many suggestions! I think it's overwhelming to know how many materials are available to homeschoolers now! And I'm going to add to the list. LOL
I didn't see these listed so far:
LFBC (Landmark Freedom Baptist Curriculum)
http://www.landmarklfbc.com/
ACE (Accelerated Christian Education)
http://www.schooloftomorrow.com or
http://www.aceministries.com
Neither of them have grade numbers on the materials, but rather put a reference number on them. LFBC states they did it on purpose. Not sure about why ACE did it that way.
