Mater Amabilis, by Dr. Kathryn Faulkner and Michele Quigley
http://materamabilis.org/ma/
Years Covered: Preschool to 8th grade (Years 1-9).
Lesson Plans/Schedules Included? Lesson plan ideas for selected subjects and notes on how often each subject is to be studied each week are included for each level (1-2 years).
Distinguishing Features: Another Charlotte Mason curriculum, so there are lots and lots of books. Contains options for both U.S. and U.K. families. Written from a Catholic perspective.
Additional Cost: Moderate to high depending on which books are chosen; most are still in copyright and may or may not be available used.
Gentle? I didn't see any of the usual subjects on the site for this curriculum. However, I am not completely up to speed on Catholic punitive teachers.

Easy Peasy All-In-One Homeschool
http://allinonehomeschool.wordpress.com/
Years Covered: Preschool ("Getting Ready 1") to 8th grade. The author is working on higher grades.
Lesson Plans/Schedules Included? Detailed daily lesson plans are included for all levels.
Distinguishing Features: Intended for families with very tight budgets and families living overseas, this is essentially a stripped-down virtual school. Each day's lesson plan includes instructions for the student, guidelines for the adult or older child helper, and links to free online lessons from all corners of the Web. The lessons are brief so that children of multiple ages can share one computer and still get all of their work done. Written from a modern American conservative Protestant perspective.
Additional Cost: Minimal. By design, no books whatsoever need be purchased. Some printing is required. Additional supplies needed are basic back-to-school items.
Gentle? I couldn't find any discussion of child training, but I didn't read every blog entry or lesson on this massive site. If you find otherwise, please post here!

This is all I could find for curricula that provide clear directions for all subjects for one or more years, level K or higher, for free. If you find anything else in this category, please feel free to post it here.
