  • Creative Freewriting Adventure

    Freewriting exercises can help even students who don’t like to write produce amazing, creative work — no preparation work is required; simply set the timer for 15 minutes and get writing! An introduction is given, and is followed by a “journey” that sets the stage for the writing assignment, which asks students to describe the scene, background, dialogue, and incorporate the senses into their writing.

    Some exercises are taken directly from the Philosophy Adventure course and are based upon a Greek philosopher; additional exercises based upon The Wise Woman by George MacDonald and Scripture are also included.

  • Home Art Studio

    Home Art Studio homeschool art curriculum DVDs are designed to increase students’ love and appreciation for the visual arts while providing an opportunity to improve their abilities to problem-solve, think creatively, and express themselves artistically. Art history lessons are also integrated throughout, as well as cross-curricular suggestions for math and social studies. Students are introduced to drawing, painting, and sculpting, while lessons emphasize how art is everywhere.

    Just one lesson per week will allow you to complete the program in less than a year. You simply need to provide the supplies! Lesson plan PDF documents are included on the DVD-ROM to help teachers make the most of each lesson-time. Easy-to-follow lessons are age-appropriate and concepts are reinforced in later grades; students may work at their own pace without any fear of falling behind. This program is perfect for parents who don’t have a lot of art experience, but who want to ensure that their children receive a well-rounded arts education.

    For grades K-5.

  • Horizons Mathematics

    No more hours of boring, endless repetition – your kids will actually thank you for this interactive math curriculum! Each level has two student workbooks, but the teacher handbook is the main component of the program. All instruction is provided through one-on-one teacher instruction, which is the biggest difference between Horizons and the self-guided Lifepacs.

    Another big focus in Horizons is hands-on learning using a variety of manipulatives, which can mostly be found around the house: pencils, pipe cleaners, play or real money, thread, a timer, clock, yardstick, etc.

    Novice home-educators should not be intimidated by the amount of teacher involvement as it is carefully layed out in the beginning of each year’s teacher handbook. The teacher handbook also provides a variety of teaching suggestions and supplemental activities for additional practice.

    For grades K – 8 (Algebra I)
