I have my 12 yo doing the Apologia General Science for 7th grade this year, and quite frankly, it's tough!! I'm amazed that this is recommended for 7th grade...it's VERY meaty and gets into a lot of philosophical depth. The tests are very difficult imo. It's a BIG textbook with A LOT of reading. My ...

This is our 4th year of attempting to make MFW work over here. I know, slow learner over here. We started with their ECC program (which we really enjoyed) and then embarked upon the 4 year History cycle.

I'm just thinking that if we're already reading a read aloud ...

Thanks for all of your replies. I'm looking forward to giving HOD a try with my 2 youngest. I do like the choices for books that I see, and have already used many of them with my older 2. I plan to see if our library has CHOW so I can have a look at it. (Our homeschool bookfair may have it too.) I'm...

Hi! I learned of this company over at another board and I'm very interested in it. I have a few questions though. First, I was wondering if there's a statement of faith/denomination background for the Bible portion of these programs. I noticed that a lot of the books used are from Christian Liberty ...
