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.
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.
