For the 10-11 school year, we are using the eclectic approach, selecting the best of
the best to suit our children's learning styles Here's what we are using...
For Composition and Grammar, we are using Institute in Excellence in Writing
(IEW).as a way to learn how to compose written material. There will be plenty of
writing opportunities not only with this course but also with their history and
science studies.
For Vocabulary, we are using SAT Vocabulary Set 1 and 2 for 9th grade and
Vocabulary Cartoons - SAT Word Power Volumes I and II for 7th grade.
For Reading/Literature I have customized a literature curriulum for each of the
kids using some Progeny Press Study Guides.
For Math, we will be finishing Bob Jones Algebra and then starting AOP's
Geometry for 9th grade and Bob Jones Pre-Algebra for 7th grade.
For History and Geography we are using and Bob Jones Cultural Geography for
grade 9 and Bob Jones World Studies for 7th grade.
For Science, we are using Apologia Biology for 9th grade and Apologia General
Science for 7th grade.
For Foreign Language, we are using Rosetta Stone Spanish and French and
Memoria Press' Second & Third Form Latin.
For Physical Education, the kids take Karate at Fit for the King in Madison, IN.
They take formal lessons twice a week for an hour+ each and they practice an hour
or so daily at home.
For high school this year, Megan will also be using AOP's Health for 1 semester.
We will also be starting Logic this year using The Fallacy Detective for 7th grade
and Critical Thinking Book 1 for 9th grade.
We try to stick to the Charlotte Mason approach of keeping a certain amount of
flexibility in our schedule. I provide the kids with their lesson plans and they have
the flexibility to decide how/when they want to do them - as long as they are
complete by week's end. This gives them experience in proper planning and study
habits and allows them the time they need for their special interests. Click here to

| Extra Curricular Activities |
As far as extra-curricular activities, we try to enroll the children in activities
that are of interest to them -- and try to keep things in moderation so as not to
overwhelm them (or us!) You can see what their current extra-curricular
activities are by clicking on Megan or Ian to see their pages.
