Wonderful for Homeschool

I just want to say that this entire curriculum is amazing! We are in our first years of homeschooling and nothing has worked better than core knowledge. My boys have retained so much information and it blows me away. Another huge bonus is we all enjoy it! It’s so exciting to see them connecting the dots. I just want to shout out on the rooftops telling people how great this curriculum is. Truly you all have made our homeschool journey wonderful. Thank you all!
Agatha Fan!

Informative!

Enjoyed listening to the episode about CKLA international. So interesting to see how we’re all experiencing similar issues with regard to CKLA and its implementation. Thank you!
