When people find out we homeschool one of the things they are always curious about is college. Many people know someone who has homeschooled for a few years, but homeschooling all the way through and sending a child to college is still unusual. I have sent two kids to college from homeschooling, and have learned […]

Roman Roads: The Greeks Homeschool Curriculum Review
Classical education is something that has always interested me, because the Great Books of Western Civilization underlay so much of our culture. So I was happy to get the chance to review a classical curriculum from Roman Roads Media. Roman Roads Media is a company dedicated to publishing Classical Curriculum for use in homeschools. They […]
Lightning Literature – Shakespeare’s Comedies Review
Shakespeare’s plays are something everyone should be exposed to, but they are not something I feel confident about teaching without help. So when I had the chance to review a literature curriculum from Hewitt Homeschooling I thought one covering Shakespeare would be perfect. I received the Lightning Literature and Composition: Shakespeare Comedies & Sonnets Student’s […]

Progeny Press’s goal is to help children understand […]

Artistic Pursuits: Construct Schoolhouse Crew Review
Art is not my son’s favorite subject in our homeschooling. And I am not the most artistic person either, so we have mostly outsourced our art instruction. But when I saw the new books from ARTistic Pursuits I was intrigued, because they cover Sculpture, which sounds much more fun to both my son and I […]
Mere Christianity Journal – Schoolhouse Crew Review
While C.S. Lewis is perhaps best known for his Chronicles of Narnia book series he was also a prolific writer of non-fiction books, many of which are about Christian apologetics. I have read and enjoyed much of his non-fiction, because he is an engaging writer who makes complex subjects understandable. Mere Christianity is a compilation of […]
