What parents say

Parents describe it as open-and-go with a very full teacher guide that carries the background, so you do not have to research. They like one guide for several ages and that it ties Bible history to apologetics. The cost adds up with workbooks, tests and a video subscription, the program is young-earth throughout, and some families skip activity pages because there are so many.

Parents love

Single teacher guide covers every grade from K to 5
Background notes in the guide mean little outside research
Short lesson videos and memory-verse songs for variety

Common complaints

Young-earth creation is taught as the position of the whole course
Videos need a separate Answers.tv subscription
Activity pages are plentiful; most families pick and choose
