Apologia
Last year’s Crew members had the opportunity to review several Apologia science products. You can read those reviews here. If you’d like to learn more about their science curriculum choices, you can see the elementary curriculum choices here and the junior high and high school level choices here.
This past year, Apologia Educational Ministries has undergone some changes and has added some new features to their ministry. One new addition is the Apologia Academy, which offers online classes for your students in the areas of Bible, Apologetics, and Worldview. Apologia Press offers curriculum and parent resources.
The entire Crew will be receiving The Ultimate Guide to Homeschooling by Debra Bell from Apologia Press. Here’s some information about the book (taken directly from the website):
Debra Bell’s best-selling manual has been revised and updated for a new generation of home educators! This indispensable resource belongs on the shelf of every family taking part in home-based learning. Inside you will find:
- Six ingredients of a successful homeschool
- Subject-by-subject guidelines and program recommendations

I think that I checked an older edition out of the library once when I started homeschooling. It still has usefulness, even if you've been homeschooling for a while. I used one of the suggestions today!

I had read through an older edition, but really find the information contained to be very helpful in our homeschool. This is definitely a book for any Christian homeschooler to consider reading.

This should be on every new homeschooler's shelf and every veteran homeschooler should have it to loan out.
