2023 BJU Press Homeschool Catalog

You Made the Right Call

ou have already taken the first step. You’ve brought your child into the safe learning environment of your home. Perhaps your work situation changed. Or your family moved to another state. Or you simply became aware of what your child was being taught. Whatever the reason, you have brought your child home to learn and taken on the responsibility of teaching and equipping your child for life. And now, you have only options in front of you. You are fully empowered to make the best educational decisions for your student. God has given you the task of raising your child for His glory, and now you have even more influence on the ultimate direction of your child’s life.

In deciding to homeschool, you decided to give yourself options. The greatest value of a homeschool education lies in its flexibility, and when you homeschool, you can shape your student’s education according to his or her needs. You are the one who charts your child’s path to success. You can choose targeted subjects for where your child excels and more general courses for where your child struggles. Homeschooling enables you to create an education that fits your child.

Education is not a rigid checklist of items that must be completed to the letter to achieve a desired result. We give you tools to succeed so you can give your child tools to succeed. With the flexibility of a homeschool curriculum, you can homeschool anywhere you want, how you want, and when you want. You can shape your child’s education to match and challenge his or her abilities. You can learn to recognize God’s fearful and wonderful design in your child and build on that design. You can give your child the spiritual, physical, and educational foundation he or she needs to enjoy a lifelong journey of learning. You can prepare your child to be a part of advancing the kingdom of God.

You have options. You can homeschool anywhere you want. So, let’s take a look at where you can go.

Equipped to Think

Learning is so much more than repetition. Parents want their children to go beyond merely repeating facts and use those facts to discover and understand more of life. Using knowledge wisely enables students to explore and master the world around them. And a valuable education doesn’t dictate what students think; it teaches them how to think.

The BJU Press Homeschool curriculum lays a thorough foundation for students that equips them to discover, investigate, and measure the world around them. Our courses offer multiple hands-on activities that enable students to experiment and analyze on their own. Students are exposed to numerous authors, ideas, and cultures from around the world and are given concepts to tackle difficult day-to-day problems.

We don’t hand students a diagram and dictate that they follow every step. We give them tools for learning, teach them how to use them, and inspire students to create new and exciting things using those tools.

Empowered to Think Biblically

But parents want more than children who can think. They want children who can think biblically. In the world that we live in, applying biblical principles to everyday situations is especially important. Can your child work through a conflict with someone else using a biblical understanding of love? Can they share the truth of God’s Word with unbelievers?

Our homeschool curriculum will offer your child a solid biblical foundation built on timely principles that come from memorable Bible stories. Using activities, Scripture memory passages, catchy songs, and colorful visuals, your child will consistently encounter the eternal truth of God’s Word. We discuss Bible truths in ways that are easy to understand, yet deeply profound. Bible discussions lead students through applying biblical truths to situations they encounter every day of their lives.

Learning to live based on the values expressed in God’s Word will make your child more than a productive member of society. Your child will be an exciting part of God’s redemptive plan to build His church and redeem the world for His own glory.

The Big Story

All our products align familiar stories and eternal truths with the grand narrative of God’s Word. Each principle points to God’s grand design and His unfolding plan to redeem His creation. So what is the grand story that God is unfolding?

Creation

In the beginning, everything was perfect. God had fashioned a beautiful world out of nothing and created man to occupy it and cultivate it. Mankind was meant to subdue the earth—to discover, harness, and nurture its usefulness for the glory of God and the benefit of others. Man’s innate design carried many resemblances to God Himself, and man was to use those designs and abilities to cultivate the earth.

Fall

But mankind made a choice. Though man lived in paradise, man chose to violate the one command God had given him. Because of his disobedience, mankind was banished from paradise, and the world was subjected to the consequences of his sin. Work became frustrating and futile. Life became hard and painful. The world fell far from where it should have been, and history would come to offer numerous accounts of man misusing the earth for his own selfish purposes.

Redemption

But by the kindness of God, man’s story does not end here. Mankind deserved God’s punishment for his violations, but God in His unsurpassable kindness chose to rescue His own creation. The Maker of the Universe gave His own perfect Son to be punished instead of man. Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, became a man Himself and lived a life of perfect obedience to God. But in spite of His perfect obedience, Jesus died falsely accused and publicly executed. Jesus died tortured on a cross bearing the eternal consequences of mankind’s sin. Jesus was sentenced to death so that man could have life.

The cross is God’s masterpiece—His pivotal act of pursuing and redeeming His fallen creation. Satan and sin have infected the world with darkness and grief, but God is at work to restore the paradise that once was. An education aligned with these three phases of human history will enable your child to see the world as God designed it, see the damaging effects of sin, and then act with knowledge and wisdom to counter those effects. Using biblical principles to love and care for others, using math and science to solve problems, and using history to examine the effects of decisions can all point to the brilliance of God and His loving care for His creation. A biblical education enables your child to live a life in step with God’s ultimate plan to redeem His fallen creation.

Here’s What We Recommend

We want to do everything we can to make the beginning of your school year as smooth and simple as possible. No two homeschools look exactly alike, and we believe that’s best for everyone. Homeschooling gives you the freedom to discover and decide the most helpful way your student learns. And with all the different learning styles out there, you will want to be sure to choose an approach that fits with what your student needs.

Video Course Kits

These are your best option if you want a well-structured program with clear expectations where your students can work through a course independently and at their own pace. This option also gives your children one-on-one instruction with engaging teachers through a variety of activities. With our online video course kits, you can bundle items, save money, and enjoy:

• Access to a full year of video lessons on our Homeschool Hub

• An adjustable year-long school schedule

• Printed textbooks

• Digital versions of textbooks and teacher editions

• Printed tests for grades 1–4 and digital tests with automatic grading for grades 5 and up

• Plenty of notes and guides in the teacher editions

• Resources for additional activities

• Printed textbooks, teacher editions, tests, and test answer keys for all grades

“Mom, I want to go home now!”

It was March 2006 and my little girl was sobbing in my arms. Our very ill nine-year-old daughter had just been through a total colectomy. As spring turned into summer, her health needs increased, culminating with multiple hospital stays, and even requiring an emergency surgery. Because of my daughter’s numerous health issues, my husband and I decided to educate our children at home and began researching the best curriculum to support us in this new endeavor. That fall, the Lord led us to try the BJU Press Homeschool Video Courses. We began that journey with two babies, a preschooler, and five children from kindergarten to 6th grade.

Although homeschooling these past 16 years has been very challenging, BJU Press Homeschool has offered us incredible resources to help us be successful.

One of the biggest challenges for me was teaching multiple ages simultaneously. The year our

eleventh baby was born, we were homeschooling eight children with a child in every stage of life: newborn, preschool, elementary, middle school, high school, and college. Because the BJU Press Homeschool Video Courses are taught directly to the child, the curriculum gave us all the resources to educate each child in every developmental stage of their education: expert teachers, visuals, full-color textbooks, scheduled assignments, testing, lesson plans, and grading. With the new BJU Press Homeschool Hub, I can create class schedules for multiple children and keep better records. I spend less time preparing and more time just being a mom.

Another big challenge is balancing multiple children’s academic and emotional needs while keeping the household running. There were days when the house was not clean, the kids were fussy, and the laundry covered the entire couch! I feared, “Can we really do this?” and “Will our children learn and be ready for college?” I knew that if God was in this, we could succeed with His help. I set up

a schedule for the home that included chores, laundry, meal planning, and school times. Using the BJU Press Homeschool Videos Courses, we could educate our children at home without me having to teach every child individually. I instructed my children to follow my schedule and to work independently in school. This allowed me to care for the youngest children, take care of the house, and give attention to those who needed help in school.

It was important to us to have not only welleducated children but also godly children. One of our biggest goals was to teach our children to love the Lord with all their hearts. And we desire that our children not only read the Word of God but also learn how to apply it in everyday living. By formulating their textbooks with a Christian worldview, BJU Press Homeschool came alongside us and helped teach our children critical thinking skills and God’s plan and purpose for this world. By the grace of God, we will be starting our 17th year of homeschooling with one in high school,

one in middle school, and one in elementary. We will have graduated seven children out of our homeschool: three working on their graduate degree, three in university/Bible college, and one serving on staff at our church. Yes, homeschooling can be challenging, but BJU Press Homeschool has helped our family succeed, and we give glory to our God in every step!

Melissa Vosburgh

Homeschool Mom & HomeWorks Consultant

I first encountered BJU Press at a homeschool convention. We had started our homeschooling journey when our oldest was four, but by the time my son entered sixth grade, we knew that our curriculum was not a good fit. Something had to change. I had purposed to give my children a quality education with a biblical foundation that prepared them well for life, but when I arrived at the convention, I felt defeated and unsure of what to do next.

But then, things changed. That convention turned out to be a significant turn in my journey. After sitting with a kind Homeworks consultant who patiently listened to my children’s needs for hours, I felt the courage to begin again. The consultant ensured that I left our meeting with everything I needed, and I started the next school year with the BJU Press curriculum. My heart soared as I saw my children learn to love school again. We started with me teaching them their courses directly, and my children thrived on the material. We started the school year with a renewed enthusiasm, and my kids couldn’t get enough of their BJU Press courses. We eventually switched to video courses, which was one of the greatest blessings of the entire journey. My kids were now learning a wealth of information that I could never have taught them on my own. Nine years later…our family has grown. We now have

eight children—two of which have entered college and are thriving academically. My children can communicate with other kids of all ages, and our home has become a safe environment where they can learn about Jesus every day. Our family has also grown closer together as my children have learned more about God and the world around them.

Our BJU Press experience has given my children a firm foundation in God’s Word as well as academic excellence. While I would never state that homeschooling is easy, I can say with certainty that God has sustained our family day to day as we’ve navigated the thrills and challenges of homeschooling.

To any mother considering homeschooling, I have to say that homeschooling is absolutely worth it. It can be done day by day. Your school days will not look identical to mine…and that’s okay! God has chosen you to educate your children, and you are the best person for this important task.

Now, I’ve become a Homeworks Consultant myself, and I cherish the opportunity to help families thrive as parents prepare their children for spiritual success. When the days are long, remember that God will guide you and empower you to show your children His love. He will give you the grace that you need so you can give your children the education that they need.

Homeschool Education Verified.

Is this you?

The desire to give your children the best education you can offer goes hand-in-hand with the fear that you’re not doing it right.

Partnership with the Academy of Home Education gives you the reassurance and confidence that you’re doing everything you need to so your children can have any future they choose.

What is the Academy of Home Education all about?

The AHE team has dedicated themselves to serving homeschool families by providing record-keeping support, official transcripts, and an accredited diploma.

Our team empowers you to give your children an education that will let them take whichever steps they want after high school—whether those next steps are to an Ivy League university or a trade school. Our students have gone on to confidently apply to Clemson University, Virginia Tech, Ohio State University, United States Naval Academy, and Baylor University.

Why accreditation?

The Academy of Home Education’s new accreditation track can clear obstacles for the future. It’s hard to predict where your homeschool journey may take you. So if your journey leads you back to transferring to a high school requiring accreditation or an international school, we’ve got your back.

I want to give my children an education to be proud of!

Academy of Home Education Graduate Spotlight

Jeff Kowalk, CPA

I believe homeschooling prepared me for the workplace (and my current role) because I had the ultimate student-to-teacher ratio 1:1. My mom chose BJU Press material because she knew its robust standards would provide the academic excellence my brothers and I needed. Her theory and work as a home educator proved out: when I got to the business world, I found that my communication skills were significantly above average. All the sentence diagramming and emphasis on proper grammar finally paid off! I was well-equipped in all subjects, and that gave me confidence going to college and entering the workforce.

The Academy of Home Education fulfilled an important role by helping us maintain legal and reporting requirements, but even more importantly, it provided peace of mind that my brothers and I would receive a high school diploma and be able to demonstrate the academic excellence my mom instilled through her teaching. As an added bonus, we actually participated in a graduation ceremony with all of our “classmates,” and I still maintain contact with some of them. In short, the AHE filled a vital role for accreditation, record keeping, support, and camaraderie. I don’t know who I’d be or what I’d be doing if my family had gone a different route, but I can confidently say that the AHE, BJU Press curriculum, and the homeschooling process definitely set me up for success in my current role as a CFO.

From Families of the Academy of Home Education

“I’m thankful for BJU Press Homeschool and the AHE team. It has prepared me for college more than the school I attended before. Despite struggles I had in high school, I know how well I was prepared because I could sail through the first semester of college with a 4.0 in every class.”

– Matthew

“We would like to thank you for all your help with our son throughout his homeschooling adventure. We are very thankful we had the AHE team to help us through his junior high and high school years of homeschooling to make his college acceptance go smoothly. We appreciate the rigor, biblical worldview, and consistency BJU Press has provided our family.”

– Elizabeth

“We appreciate the AHE team’s help in our journey of homeschooling. We are thankful that we had the opportunity to do this and that they provided such competent, professional help with our school authorities in Germany.”

Testing & Evaluation

It’s Time for Your Testing Check-up

Is your child getting a healthy and robust education? Is his knowledge developing at a normal rate? Or even an above average rate?

Just as we often need to make sure a young child’s growth is headed in the right direction or that an older child is staying healthy, education needs benchmarks. What you care about, you evaluate. Therefore, testing is an essential component of the educational process.

Achievement testing uses the same tool to test development that a doctor does: percentile ranks. And just as this tool can show what unhealthy trends need correction, achievement tests can show where a child’s learning path may need to be adjusted by showing whether a student is keeping up with peers.

BJU Press Testing is here to provide what you need for this essential tool by combining knowledge and decades of experience with technology to give you a smooth process from start to finish, from choosing the right test to interpreting results.

“In eight years of homeschooling, this was our first time using standardized testing. The test provided a helpful and unbiased way to confirm my student’s academic achievements. I will have peace-of-mind in the upcoming school year as well as a guide on where we need to slow down.”

– homeschool mom from Illinois

Academic Guidance

Standardized tests confirm your child’s strengths and reveal weaknesses that may not be obvious otherwise. Especially helpful is the boldness a child gains when scores show that homeschooling is a valid way to learn, not to speak of the confidence you’ll pick up. Plus, even weak scores are helpful. They diagnose areas where your student needs to grow. Maybe he seems to be doing great on tests but isn’t really retaining what he learns, for example. Or maybe he’s not gaining critical thinking skills.

A test that you can use as a course correction throughout your child’s education will prove invaluable.

Objective Measurement

The measuring method of standardized tests allows students to overcome both real and perceived limits of chapter tests and final exams. Rather than assessing your child’s education based on one textbook or teaching method, measure using the same scale used across the nation. Because of standardized testing’s objectivity, accurate results are easy to achieve.

The Right Fit for Your Student

It is our goal at BJU Press Testing & Evaluation to provide your student with the best test and the most suitable format. While some students benefit from having a real test in their hands, students with a love of technology enjoy the online option.

Advantages for Online Testing

• Convenient format eliminates shipping worries!

• Scores are available sooner.

Let’s Get Going

The beginning of a school year can be a little crazy, but we want you to enjoy a smooth and simple start. With a few tips, you can begin your homeschool year with confidence. Here’s how you can set yourself and your student up for success!

1 Your Order Has Arrived

Wait to open your boxes of materials until all of them have arrived. We recommend starting with the box with the packing slip (the box with the slip will be labeled), and then unpacking and organizing materials from there. Check to make sure you have each item on the packing slip. You’ll also want to have a space designated for storing things, so finding school supplies is easy for both you and your student. You may even want to involve your kids in unpacking and putting things away! For more helpful directions, follow the QR code at the bottom of the page!

2 Make a Profile

Our online Homeschool Hub is your best resource for staying on top of your child’s homeschooling. Once you have unpacked and organized your materials, make sure you and your student have profiles set up on the Homeschool Hub. You can then begin creating school schedules, outlining a gradebook, and connecting your child with the needed materials for each course.

3 Stay Connected

No parent should homeschool alone. There are many homeschool parents out there just like you who are enjoying the same delights and encountering the same challenges. Connect with us on social media to share your experiences with other homeschool parents and find creative ways to address issues that you are facing. Or, visit our website to find a HomeWorks consultant near you to connect with. You can also sign up for our monthly homeschool newsletter for fun activities, special discounts, and helpful insights into the world of homeschooling!

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Privacy Policy, Notice, and Verification of Parental Consent

BJU Press takes great pride in providing exceptional service for our valued customers. In keeping with this commitment, we are dedicated to protecting your privacy and handling any personal information we obtain from you with care and respect as described in our Children’s Privacy Policy. This Children’s Privacy Policy is designed to answer your questions regarding our privacy policies and principles with respect to children under the age of 13.

Although BJU Press, as a non-profit entity, is not subject to the requirements of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we seek to abide by its provisions as a matter of policy. It would require that we inform parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age and that we obtain the consent of parents and guardians in order for children under 13 years of age to use BJU Press Homeschool Hub™. Below we explain how we do that for these children. Also, the use of the term parent, below, includes legal guardians.

What types of personal information do we collect about children?

BJU Press does not knowingly collect information from children at BJUPressHomeschool.com. BJUPressHomeschool.com is designed to allow adults to purchase BJU Press products and materials. However, if a parent registers his or her child for BJU Press Homeschool Hub, BJU Press will collect information from the parent about the child in order to provide the child with online access to course content, including video presentations, assessments (online and/or printable PDFs), and other educational materials as deemed appropriate and applicable by the course instructor at BJU Press Homeschool Hub. BJU Press will collect the following information from the parent about the child: first and last name, birth date, gender, and grade level. We collect birth dates to validate the age of each child.

How do we use and share the personally identifiable information that we have collected about children?

BJU Press will use the child’s demographic information to register the child for the BJU Press Homeschool Hub courses purchased for the child by the parent. Registering a student requires the parent to provide a username and password and to confirm his or her first and last name. In addition, the child has the option to

upload a Profile Photo. Uploading a Profile Photo is completely optional and subject to the parent’s discretion.

After logging into BJU Press Homeschool Hub, a child will have the option to update his or her profile and provide the following additional information: Account Information, including full name, complete mailing address, and phone number(s). Adding profile information is completely optional and subject to the parent’s discretion. BJU Press recommends that children not complete the additional profile information.

The child’s information will be used to keep track of course progress and grades earned.

A child’s personal information will be used only by BJU Press Homeschool Hub staff as necessary to provide services related to the child’s enrollment. In addition, we may share a child’s personal information with third parties to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the security and integrity of our sites; to take precautions against liability; to respond to judicial process; or to the extent permitted under provisions of law to provide information to law enforcement agencies or for an investigation related to public safety.

How do we notify and obtain consent from parents for the collection of information from their children?

BJU Press requires that parents, prior to enrolling their children, review and agree to our terms and conditions, including our Children’s Privacy Policy. By registering a child for BJU Press Homeschool Hub and submitting credit-card payment for services, parents indicate agreement with the BJU Press Children’s Privacy Policy and authorize BJU Press to collect and use the child’s information as described in this policy. Parents who submit payment using check or cash will need to sign and return a statement indicating their agreement with this policy.

How can parents review, change, or delete personally identifiable information about their children?

Parents may review, change, or delete their child’s personally identifiable information at any time by logging in to the parent’s account at BJU Press Homeschool Hub. Parents may contact BJU Press Customer Service at 800-845-5731 at any time if they require additional assistance with their child’s account. You may also email us at dlinfo@bjupress.com. Completely removing the child’s information will require the parent to withdraw the child from BJU Press Homeschool Hub.

How will we notify parents if our Children’s Privacy Policy changes?

Our Children’s Privacy Policy may be amended at any time but will always be made in conformance with applicable law, including applicable provisions of COPPA. For any material changes to our Children’s Privacy Policy, we will email parents who have enrolled their children in BJU Press Homeschool Hub.

How can parents contact BJU Press with questions about our Children’s Privacy Policy?

If you need further assistance, you may email your questions or comments to us at dlinfo@bjupress.com. You may also call us at 800-845-5731 or write to us at
