The Curriculum - An Overview

Our innovative Christian homeschooling curriculum uses living books and Charlotte Mason methods to teach history, science, language arts and fine arts.

We teach history chronologically, divided into nine historical periods. We call them units.

Within each historical unit, we study: history, science, language arts and fine arts.

Integrating subjects in this manner allows school to be:

• more relevent
• more memorable and,
• more enjoyable for both teacher and student!

Our Christian homeschool curriculum methodology, especially successful with younger students, uniquely applies the study of history from Creation to Modern each year.

Beginning again every year allows students to:

• move to fresh material more quickly 
• stay more engaged 
• recall information learned more easily, as it hasn't been years since it was introduced 
• allows a layering effect to take place, making it easier to connect new knowledge to already-learned information, which according to experts, is the way we learn   

The flow of history and connections between historical events become clear as history is studied in this relevant manner!

Reading exciting, well-written literature about characters to whom they can relate and emulate draws students into history in a way that textbooks cannot!

We offer two curriculum options...

plus our high school courses...

Option #1

Our Unit Programs

Unit Programs -- our most flexible, cost-effective option, Unit Programs can be used for three years each following our methodology.

Using unit overviews, history, science and music/fine arts booklists divided by topic, along with the suggested projects and activities, we provide the tools enabling you to write your own lesson plans, or, if you prefer a more delight-directed or unstructured approach - our Unit Programs would be perfect for you.

Our Unit Programs are best for homeschooling Moms (and Dads) who prefer:

• teaching without a set lesson plan 
• want the freedom to take advantage of "rabbit trails" as they occur, rather than be tied to a particular schedule lesson
• less structure

Option #2

Daily Lesson Plans

Daily Lesson Plans -- our most teacher-friendly option, our Daily Lesson Plans are

 perfect for the mom who wants to provide a perfectly planned, high-quality, biblically-based education for her children using whole, living books.

For history, science, language arts and fine arts, all daily lessons are already planned in advance.

 Our Daily Lesson Plans include weekly goals and objectives for each subject and daily lessons planned integrating the studies of history, science (K-8), language arts and projects.

Our Daily Lesson Plans are best for homeschooling Moms (and Dads) who:

• are just beginning to homeschool and desire a structured curriculum 
• want to concentrate on teaching rather than taking time to do the planning, too 
• would rather "tweak" a plan to fit, rather than needing to "create" the plan from scratch
• have just had a baby or are teaching students of several ages and are craving structure
• have children who prefer to work independently 
• desire the confidence that a comprehensive, easy to follow curriculum provides 
• be assured that they are covering "enough"
