Compare alternatives

Most curriculum mistakes happen because a program sounds good in isolation. Similar options worth weighing:

The Good and the Beautiful

Better if families wanting beautiful, faith-based, open-and-go, low-cost curriculum.

Watch for Math is gentle — not for families wanting advanced or rigorous math.

Sonlight

Better if families who love reading aloud and want a literature-rich, Christian, open-and-go box.

Watch for Reading-heavy and parent-intensive (lots of read-alouds); pricey.

Memoria Press

Better if families wanting a rigorous, classical, Latin-centered Christian education.

Watch for Rigorous and teacher-intensive; Latin-heavy.
