This is an excellent curriculum, winner of several awards. It emphasizes the "mastery learning" method, which states that students learn best when they truly master the content or the skills taught in one level before progressing to the next. With its parent/teacher-directed activities, self-test, and final test, makes "mastery learning" a reality with each child.

This highly motivating and challenging multimedia-enhanced CD-ROM program offers a wide variety of interactive problems to keep your student actively involved in learning. Material is thoroughly taught and reinforced with the "Focus Learning" system.

Through a unique instructional method called incremental development, all Saxon programs introduce concepts in understandable parts which build upon each other. Previously learned material is continually reviewed and practiced throughout the year. Topics are not dropped, but grow in complexity so learning is systematic and sequential. For more information about the Saxon philosophy, please see the inside front cover.

Italic is a modern handwriting system based on enduring letter forms that are highly suited to rapid and legible writing. Italic conforms to natural, rhythmic hand movements. Italic builds on previously learned concepts and the letter shapes remain the same from basic to cursive, eliminating the abrupt leap from "ball and stick" to looped cursive. Self-assessment is an integral part of the program.

Power Glide courses are designed to help you discover grammar by yourself, as you gradually soak up the language. The difference between Power Glide and so many other language programs is that Power Glide doesn't rely on mere shortcuts or tourist phrases. Power Glide offers real language learning--the kind where you internalize the language and begin using it as your own.

The best time to acquire languages and a life-long love for them is at an early age. Power Glide developed a Parent's Guide so parent (teacher) could go through the learning experience with their child. The Parent's Guide includes instructions, objectives, lesson plans, tips, and suggestions for activities to be done with your child. Instead of only written words, the Children's Course uses pictures.

An exciting, new, easy to use, enjoyable Science curriculum. It has been developed especially for the home school family.

"Exploring Creation With Physical Science" is designed to be a systematic introduction to science and is recommended for 7th or 8th grade students. "Exploring Creation With General Science" is recommended as an 8th or 9th grade course, generally taken before high school biology.
 

"Exploring Creation With Biology" is designed to be a first-year high school science course, and is recommended for the same year that students take Algebra I.

"Exploring Creation With Chemistry" is designed to be a first-year high school chemistry course for the student who has already completed Algebra I.

"Exploring Creation With Physics" is designed for the student who has completed chemistry, with plenty of science experience.

"Advanced Chemistry In Creation" for the student who has already completed one year of high school chemistry. When added to that first-year course, this course "fills in the gaps", giving the student the equivalent of the first year of college chemistry.

 This series encourages students to conform their thinking to the standard of God's revealed Word. More than ever before, young people need to be equipped with the whole armor of God's Word.
