What parents say

Parents like how affordable and self-guided it is, with Scripture memory built into each lesson and little prep. The courses are short and workbook-driven, and Christian Light's Anabaptist convictions (such as nonresistance and plain-living teaching) come through in places, which some families welcome and others avoid.

Parents love

Very low cost for a full course
Students can work through much of it independently
KJV memory work is built into the lessons

Common complaints

Written from an Anabaptist perspective, which some families avoid
Consumable workbooks, so you rebuy for each child
KJV language can be hard for young readers
