If you are just getting started with homeschooling, you may feel confused by all the options available to you. If you have been homeschooling for a while, you may need some encouragement to stay the course. Whatever your situation, remember that God gave your children to you. He loves them even more than you do, and he entrusted their training to you. You can do it!

Our homeschooling family wants to help your homeschooling family teach the heart, soul, and mind. We have written a variety of homeschool curriculum and resources to make your homeschooling simpler and more effective. All of the homeschool curriculum we write has a Biblical foundation.

We offer world history, American history, U.S. government, and economics curricula for high school students. We have Tennessee and Georgia state history studies for middle school.

Use our Draw to Learn study series to help your child hide God's word in his heart and develop his art skills at the same time. Learn to Draw provides basic drawing instruction.

Help your child discover the how, why, and joy of learning from a Biblical perspective with Exploring the Library. Get encouragement for your homeschooling journey with our family resources. Enjoy one of our historical dramas on DVD performed by homeschooled students and graduates.

Tie it all together with our homeschool record-keeping book. It provides a straightforward and effective system to help you focus on the most important things in training your children.

If we can be of any assistance to you in your homeschooling journey, please contact us.
