Illuminations is a practical, comprehensive, customizable curriculum guide, covering Bible, language arts (grammar, writing, copywork, spelling, and vocabulary), literature, science, geography, history, and life skills built to wrap around The Mystery of History series or All American History series. (Math is not scheduled in Illuminations.) Each year of Illuminations contains lesson plans, guides, and reading schedules for grades 3–12. If you have younger children, they can join in with the older students thanks to the additional teaching ideas for grades K–2. In Illuminations we’ve chosen curriculum that you can pick up and use without a lot of advance preparation. Purchase the novels, textbooks, and resources on our book lists, and all of the planning for the entire year is done for you! Use our Illuminations Build-A-Bundle Tool to make purchasing even easier.

North Star Geography gives students a deep understanding of how geography impacts all of us every day-with real-life applications for college, career, citizenship, and ministry.

Written from a distinctly Christian perspective by a homeschool grad (now a homeschool dad), North Star Geography is a full high school credit. It covers:

Geography Skills (such as reading maps and navigation)
Physical Geography (the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere)
Human Geography (social structures, culture and heritage, interacting with the environment)
The Companion Guide (included on CD) contains:
Hands-on activities and projects
Map work, memorization, and geographic research questions (with answers!)
Quizzes, a final exam, answer keys, and a grading rubric
Reproducible outline and reference maps, note-taking pages, and graphic organizers

Points, lines, planes, angles, circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, Pythagorean Theorem, conic sections, proofs and more.

The Geometry Instruction Pack contains the instruction manual with lesson-by-lesson instructions and detailed solutions, and the DVD with lesson-by-lesson video instruction.

An Online Co-op Class is available for this level.

TruthQuest History puts God back at the center of the past.
Centered on “living books,” this creative approach to history integrates elements of both Charlotte Mason and Classical methods.
Short, very informal introductions are written directly to the student and open up each topic with a distinctly Christian perspective. Suggestions for activities or writing exercises are often included as well. The booklists follow, with selected annotations on what pages or sections to read and appropriate grade levels for each entry. Incredibly flexible in nature, families can proceed at the pace that’s best for their students as they select “spines,” biographies, in-print books, and out-of-print classics from the extensive lists.

Proceeding chronologically, entries include lists for Native American Indians, Middle Americans, Maria Mitchell, Helen Keller, Visual Arts, Music, Literature, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, The Civil Rights Movement, and other relevant unit-study topics.

Grades 1-5; may be adapted for younger or older siblings. 143 pages, softcover, spiral-bound.

Full resource list is included at the back of the book.

The Integrated Physics and Chemistry course from Paradigm Accelerated Curriculum (PAC) will introduce students to the people, places, and principles of physics and chemistry, including the scientists whose discoveries we rely upon today. This course has deliberately avoided complex math in order to draw students into high-school level science; it’s therefore perfect as a slow introduction to the topic, or for students who need remedial help! It can be used for pre-high school students, or for high school (recommended Grades 9-10 remedial).

12 Chapters with 180 lessons; non-reproducible pages, stapled bindings, paper covers. Suggested for Grades 9-10 remedial. Designed to cover two years.
