What is I.H.I.P.?

What is I.H.I.P.?  It stands for INDIVIDUALIZED HOME INSTRUCTION PLAN.
This is the document which is supposed to be written out for the state to accept your home-schooling life.  This document contains the child's (or student's) subjects, curriculum, and syllabus.

I think we all know what is the definition of "subject".  It's the general word describing the thing/object of interest. What's our subject?  It could be reading, writing, arithmetic, health, geography, etc.

But what is curriculum?  And syllabus?

cur·ric·u·lum
[kəˈrikyələm]
NOUN

  1. the subjects comprising a course of study in a school or college.
    synonyms: syllabus · course of study/studies · program of study/studies · educational program · subjects · modules · timetable · schedule
     
syl·la·bus
[ˈsiləbəs]
NOUN

  1. an outline of the subjects in a course of study or teaching.
    "there isn't time to cover the syllabus" ·
    synonyms: curriculum · course · course of study · program of study ·
  2. (in the Roman Catholic Church) a summary of points decided by papal decree regarding heretical doctrines or practices.
     

So these two terms are basically synonyms!! They are essentially the same.
