A Bible Course for Children
By Author: Claire Larsen
Shalom! God has a big story to tell to God's children of all ages. From beginning to end, God's story is action-packed and suspense-filled, while at the same time, it's the greatest love story ever written. So, the aim of the God's Great Covenant series is to relate the Bible narrative in a simple, unified way that emphasizes God's faithfulness through the ages and God's Kingdom established on the earth. The climax of the story, of course, is Jesus Christ who came to earth as Redeemer and King! Yet God is too complex to be understood using only simple language and two-page stories. The purpose of this blog is provide a place to ask questions, share teaching ideas and resources, and explore together the mystery of who God is and what this story He has written means to us.
Learn More than How to Order a Taco

The goal of the Spanish for Children series is to teach students "why." We focus on the rules that govern the language and spend a large amount of time comparing Spanish and English grammar. In many ways the series doesn't teach just Spanish, it teaches how to go about learning a language in general. This is different from the "scenario-focused" approach of many other textbooks, where students learn vocabulary that relates to specific subjects, and then learn to discuss those subjects. While students using Spanish for Children do memorize vocabulary each week, using groups of related words to talk about various subjects and scenarios is "the icing on the cake"--the "cake" being an understanding of the patterns of the Spanish language, knowing which word belongs where and why. For a place to ask questions, teaching tips, and fun resources check out the Spanish for Children blog!

Classical education is the method of teaching and learning that has been used throughout western history, and has many facets. A current renaissance of this movement is spreading through the country, both in schools and homeschools, and we are proud to be a part of it. One term to describe the particular branch of classical education that we support is “trivium-based education.” This movement within classical education was inspired by Dorothy Sayers and Douglas Wilson to restore the trivium as a model for shaping primary and secondary education. Other emphases of a classical education are the integration of subjects, the study of a classical language, often Latin, and the reading and discussion of the great books.
