help placing with comparable levels in HOD

[ninipelley]

I have actually 2 more friends who are coming from Sonlight, Winterpromise, and MFW who need help comparing the equivalents of levels...
for example it looks like HOD Beyond may be similar in skill level to MFW Adventrues, Sonlight Core D, and Winter Promise American Story 1
HOD Preparing may be similar to Sonlight Core B,C
They are both super excited to find out more information and have been looking through my books and teachers manuals
Can anybody else compare levels?

Hmmmm, I think it's tough to compare levels among different curriculums because HOD covers different skills sometimes, and they are woven into the plans incrementally in stages over years through guides. Maybe the placement chart could help you compare levels? As well as the first week of each guide's plans (which can be found by clicking on each guide and then clicking on a "first week of plans")? Or, do you and your friends have HOD's catalog yet? That really goes into detail about each guide, and has a 2 page spread of the plans with bullets explaining each part of the plans in detail. Here's a link to the placement chart...

You can order catalogs under "See What's New" on the home page too. I bet between the placement chart and catalog, you and your friends know whichever other curriculums you have used really well and can start to see which HOD guides would fit next for placement, though it probably won't be cut and dry across the board. Hope something here can help - how exciting you and your friends are going to get to enjoy HOD together!
In Christ,

I can say that Adventures and Beyond are the same level as I have used both. I don't know about the rest though.
