Celebrating our New Website!
Posted by Hal and Melanie Young in Book and Product Reviews, Contests, Homeschooling Boys

UPDATE: Congratulations to Jodi from Vermont, who won the Apologia American Literature set!

We are delighted to be launching our new website! Our eldest son, John Calvin Young, has been working on it for a long time – to make it more mobile-friendly, easier to use, and more attractive. He’s a developer for RoleModel Software and is ridiculously busy, so we’re super grateful he pulled this together for us before the holidays!

In celebration, we’re going to giveaway something new every week day!!!

Today we’d like to invite you to subscribe to our newsletter and by doing that, to enter to win Apologia’s new American Literature Curriculum!

This program is seriously great! In the past, Melanie has generally designed her own high school literature assignments because she just couldn’t find one she really liked — until now!

Apologia American Literature is written by Bryan College professor and homeschool dad, Dr. Whit Jones and it is the perfect balance between challenging and doable for your high schooler! It’ll give your students insight from a Biblical worldview into the treasures of the American literary tradition.

Here’s what Apologia has to say about it:
