"Consistency Pays Off" Says Bob Jones Homeschooling Mom

From elementary through high school, Bob Jones homeschooling curriculum has been the cornerstone for this family's home school; now they enjoy college success!

We have home educated two children through high school and currently have one in the 8th grade. BJU press materials have been the cornerstone of our home school.

We consistently used the spelling, language arts, math, writing and grammar materials, literature, and history (high school). The scope and sequence is very good.

We used writing and grammar through the 9th grade and added Editor-in-Chief reviews from Critical Thinking. Both my college students did so well on the SAT that they got out of a whole year of freshman English, and got credit!

I think the background of grammar from BJU, was foundational for their good progress in their high school literature classes out of home. They have both become excellent writers also.

I love the logic of the math, and think the algebra course is especially clear and builds well. I am not so impressed with the geometry and that is where I end when home schooling. They both went on to Algebra 2, and Pre-Calculus.

We especially love the high school history classes. I wanted to pull Christian history in and bought extra books, but did not need them. BJU does a great job of showing the involvement of Christianity in history.

BJU can also be more affordable than some curricula since used books are often available on eBay and curriculum sales. However, I find BJU has more teachers' manuals than needed, for the elementary school years.

Consistency does pay off! Thanks for sharing how Bob Jones has benefited your family and your college admissions success. When we are in the homeschooling trenches with our kids, sometimes we can't see the end of the tunnel. Great encouragement for all of us, thanks! :)
