Testimonials

We first published Exploring America in 2002. Exploring World History followed in 2004. Exploring Government came out in 2006. In 2008 we released new editions of each course. We have had customers in all fifty of the United States plus Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and several U.S. military bases.

We have thousands of satisfied customers, many of them repeat customers, and many of our new customers come to us because of a referral from a friend. Here is some of the feedback we have received:

Exploring World History

"I truly feel [Exploring America and Exploring World History] have been the most pain-free homeschool products I've ever purchased!" (Arizona)

"Your history has been such a blessing to our daughter. She loves to curl up on the couch and 'digest' it. She hates to be hurried through it. Thank you for helping her fall in love with history. She also feels empowered to have conversations with people about why things are the way they are and what is behind it. We have your obedience to God's calling on your life to be thankful for." (Florida)

"My daughter grew spiritually this year. I attribute a lot of her growth to [Exploring World History]. Ray Notgrass taught this history in such a way that she learned to look at history from God's perspective, which helps her to interpret current events in light of God's word. She came to me every day so excited about what she was learning about God and His ways." (Oklahoma)

"I can't say enough good things about the curriculum. There is enough detail in the history reading to be a solid high school program, yet it's written in an interesting manner. The writing assignments have a lot of variety and are thought-provoking questions and subjects. We are very pleased with the curriculum!" (California)

"We have been using Exploring World History for the past school year with our [16-year-old] son, and he is truly enjoying it. We have found the writing assignments and Bible questions to be challenging and thought provoking and the literature choices satisfying. Thank you for such a great product." (Oklahoma)

"My 9th grade daughter is taking your World History course and, I have to tell you, this is the most enjoyable school year she has ever had! She thanks me all the time. My daughter was always an excellent student, but never enjoyed reading of any kind. Now, she can't wait to get to her history lesson and read what is in the text for that day. As well, for the first time in her life, she is enjoying reading literature. The key for her was to get her into a curriculum that presented the subject from a wholly-Christian perspective." (Georgia)

Exploring America

A review by Amy Puetz

"[My daughter] is using your American History curriculum and absolutely loves it! She says she likes it because it is easy to read (not dry) and doesn't just give you the facts about history, it tells you about the people and politics that lead up to events in history. She loves to read the speeches and documents that go along with it, too. We plan on using your curriculum for all of our history needs, and other curriculum that you have available." (Pennsylvania)

"I was very thankful to find a history curriculum that looked at history from God's perspective. I especially like the Bible study that is included in each unit because it really shows the student God's perspective on what man was doing during that time period. This curriculum has enabled me to feel confident that my daughter is getting a good education but not one that is boring and dry." (Oregon)

"I enjoy the completeness of the volumes. It is immeasurably beneficial to be able to purchase and have an all inclusive curriculum (such as the English-Bible-History course we are going through right now). This helps our organization, our continuity and our sanity." (Tennessee)

"My daughter did the American History last year and really enjoyed it. I loved the layout of the entire curriculum. I've homeschooled my children for the past 15 years and your curriculum is my favorite for the high school level!" (Pennsylvania)

"We just finished up Exploring America and I just cannot tell you how very much my sons and I enjoyed it and how much we learned. I am so thankful for this curriculum! Yes, we learned American History, but we gleaned so much more as we learned this knowledge through the lens of Scripture. THAT is how I desire for my children to learn everything! I tell everyone I know about your materials!" (Virginia)

"I just wanted to send a little note thanking you for the wonderful American History Curriculum, Exploring America! We just finished our second volume a week or two ago and it has been a wonderful experience. . . . Our daughters learned so much from your simple and easy format for each unit. Your writing style is so easy to follow and understand. . . . I plan to do it again with my younger daughters in a few years." (Florida)

"I love this curriculum. I'm using it with my two daughters . . . 10th and 11th grade respectively. Both of them say History is now their favorite subject! You don't understand the magnitude of that but here in our household it is amazing! In 11 years of homeschooling Exploring America has become the number one favorite!" (Kentucky)

"I love the Exploring America curriculum! It has been a great help in teaching American History to my high school age son. This is the first time I have stuck with a program." (California)

Exploring Government

"We are completely thrilled with the books. Each lesson is chock full of information, and the review questions and exams are excellent. . . . [My daughter] is receiving a high-quality education, with standards much higher than those found in public high schools." (Florida)

"My son has just started your American Government curriculum and we both love the style in which it is written. He understands what he is reading and everything is explained thoroughly. . . . Thanks for a great government curriculum from a Biblical viewpoint." (Georgia)
