We have had the joy of using Veritas Press as our curriculum provider for the last number of years. I love the recommendations they make for reading, they have wonderful literature guides, and I appreciate how I can pay them to plan my year of academic work for me! (Bless them!)
This fall they offered us (and anyone else, for that matter!) a chance to try out their online Scholars program of classes, for 30 days. We took them up on the offer, so my 1st and 2nd kiddos worked their way through the self-paced courses. L did "Explorers to 1815" and E did "OT and Ancient Egypt" online.
What we found was wonderful. The videos were entertaining and attention grabbing... the course was full of stories, quizzes, games, and a ton of review. They used all types of interactions between the material and my children - and they drew so much more from the history (and Bible, too!) than I can with my limited time and knowledge. I loved it when I had to fold laundry and got to listen in! If I had the $250 to enroll my children in the courses I would do it. If you are in need (or just want) some more support - these online courses are wonderful and I have to recommend them. For those of the classical/chronological history persuasion, these courses are ideal.
They are self-paced.. which was great, but meant my kids just wanted to do history all the time for the 30 day trial! (How many things can you say that about?)
I have to give Veritas Press 2 thumbs up for these courses. I look forward to seeing what other online offerings they plan for the future!
