Evaluation Criteria

4 strengths · 2 neutral

Teacher TrainingStrength

The curriculum provides strong support through detailed handbooks, online scheduler, and customer service, making it accessible for inexperienced homeschoolers. Materials are designed to require minimal preparation.

Cathy Duffy notes the resources are 'easy to use and make it simple for inexperienced homeschoolers to jump into lessons without hardly any advance planning,' and multiple reviews praise the comprehensive handbook guidance

Direct InstructionStrength

The curriculum provides structured lesson guidance through detailed handbooks and clear instructions for each resource. Most materials are self-contained with additional instruction provided when needed.

Each kit includes a grade-specific Curriculum Handbook with explanations for using each item, and for high school, instructions are written directly to students assuming independent work

Knowledge CoherenceStrength

The curriculum builds coherent knowledge through carefully selected, sequential resources that create a shared knowledge base. Each grade level includes materials that build systematically on previous learning.

Cathy Duffy notes the inclusion of knowledge-building resources like Story of the World and America the Beautiful, while reviews mention how materials can be used across grade levels without gaps or unnecessary overlap

Cross Curricular IntegrationStrength

The curriculum achieves meaningful integration through thematic connections and shared knowledge building across subjects. History content from Story of the World connects with geography and science materials, while STEM activities reinforce math and science concepts.

Reviews note how components work together across grade levels and subjects, with resources like Story of the World connecting to geography materials and STEM kits reinforcing academic concepts

Retrieval PracticeNeutral

The curriculum includes some retrieval practice through Test Prep books and activities, but systematic review across subjects is not explicitly emphasized. The focus is more on engaging activities than cumulative review.

Complete and elite kits for grades 1-8 include Test Prep books, and materials like Learning Wrap-Ups provide practice, but reviews don't mention systematic retrieval practice or spaced review

Individual Subject RigorNeutral

Each subject maintains appropriate rigor through inclusion of well-regarded programs like Math-U-See and All About Reading. High school kits may need supplementation for college-bound students in sciences.

Kits include established programs like Math-U-See Geometry and All About Reading Level 2, though Cathy Duffy notes families might want to add more rigorous science courses for high school college-bound students
