My name is Rebecca. I wear a lot of hats around here, but I am most well-known as the founder of Gather 'Round Homeschool. This company was first an answer for my own family—as I struggled to keep up with all the subjects and all the grades and all the kids—but it has become a solution for so many others. We are a Kingdom-minded company first and foremost, and God isn't just a token word we say every once in a while . . . He is the author and driver of this whole movement.

When He first gave me the idea for this unique homeschool approach, with one topic connecting to all subjects and targeted for each grade level, I remember thinking that it was impossible. There were lots of unit studies out there, but none that were doing something on this scale. How on earth could we do it all? How could we reach a 5-year-old and not lose their 18-year-old sibling?

Over the years, I feel like I have come to that same precipice of impossibility over and over again. A brand new way of teaching math that is both mastery and spiral for K–grade 9 . . . how? Online classes that can capture the attention of both our youngest and oldest students . . . there's no way! For all the criticisms I receive, "unqualified" is the one that probably hits the hardest. Because the truth is, I am. I have no degrees on my wall and no backers, investors, or advisors standing behind me. I am no more than a second-generation homeschooler whose parents taught her that she could do anything. I am no more than a homeschool mom who wanted more for my own children. I am no more than a daughter of the King who received a call. More often than you could probably ever know, I have felt like what God has called me to is too big, too hard, too scary, or too much. But God.

I think that is a bit like our homeschool journey. We buy the lie that this is too much or that we are too unqualified. We forget that God is going behind and before us and think that we are alone. But all around you are people who bear this same burden, who are walking this same walk, and who are believing for something impossible.

We do this whole homeschool thing not just because we want our kids to have an amazing education, but because deep down we are burning for something extraordinary. We want to raise kids who will shift atmospheres and tear down strongholds. We want to raise Daniels and Esthers, Josephs and Jeremiahs . . . men and women who will stand when all else is crumbling around them. We want more than mere education; we want to disciple our children and equip them for such a time as this.

As my kids have grown up (some of the original Gather 'Round kids), we find ourselves on the edge of the nest, waiting to see who will leap first. For some reason, God has kept all my little nestlings close. They design your books, they package and ship your orders, they make me coffee and do my laundry so I can teach another class. For a little while longer, our family remains together—a testimony of this whole homeschool journey and a clarion call for others to find the courage to step out and do the same. This year we feel called to share more of our story on our YouTube channel, which I renamed @gatherroundfamily. If you need a little bit of inspiration along the way, come on over and find us. It might not be quite as good as meeting for a cup of coffee, but I hope it will speak life and hope (and yes, a whole lot of real) into your own home as you navigate this journey.

May the pages of this catalog breathe wonder and inspiration into your homeschool as you see a glimpse of something that isn't just another curriculum . . . it is unapologetically His. From Him, through Him, and for Him,

I

WHAT IS GATHER ROUND HOMESCHOOL? UNIT STUDIES Gather 'Round Homeschool is a unit study curriculum that teaches all subjects and all grades through a topic. The Teacher's Guide focuses on one particular topic of interest, while the student notebooks connect to that topic through all of the subjects. Math is the only subject that is sold separately (though it is included in our Letters + Numbers and Ready to Read programs).

OPEN-AND-GO Everything we make here is open-and-go. There aren't a lot of required resources or supplies, and there is little to no lesson planning required! Anyone can hop in at any time to help (like dad or grandma), and it is very easy to get started.

DESIGNED FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY It may seem impossible to do all your subjects and all your grades together, but that is part of what makes this whole thing work! Instead of bouncing around between all your kids and all their subjects, you will be gathering, learning, discussing, and exploring God's incredible creation . . . together.

BEAUTIFUL AND MINIMALISTIC Here at Gather 'Round, we don't do busy work. Every page is beautiful with custom watercolor illustrations and lots of white space. Every worksheet is intentional—with contextual learning that is actually retained. This is a program that is beautiful, Christ-centered, and actually works.

This curriculum is unlike anything else you will find out there. It includes everything you need, it is open-and-go, it is gentle and yet rich, it is a tool for those who are wanting something different than just school at home. Try one of our samples on our website to get a better idea of how it all works and see for yourself!

You can purchase any unit that you and your children are interested in, and each one is designed to last about a month.

A typical school day can range from 2–3 hours for lower levels and 4+ hours for middle and high school students.

There are no special supplies or lesson plans needed, and we have a free resource library full of suggested videos, booklists, optional supplies for activities, our scope and sequence, free certificates of completion, and more!

ROCKS + MINERALS

Written by: Rebecca Spooner

Take every thought captive. How do you actually do that? In this unit, your entire family will be learning about your thoughts, feelings, emotions, reactions, behaviors, personality, and so much more. You will discover where these come from, what is true, and how to manage them from a Biblical perspective.

Come learn about this amazing time of inspiration in history as well as the artists, architects, authors, politicians, kings, queens, theologians, philosophers, explorers, mathematicians, and scientists who pushed the boundaries of their time.

Each lesson also includes a focus on a historical revival instead of our normal family devotional. This focus is introduced in the first few lessons as we explain that renaissance means “awakening” and “revival.”

Mini Units

Our mini units are designed to be more focused about a particular topic. While they often incorporate multiple subjects, they are not as diverse nor as heavy as our full units. Some are a full 20 lessons, while others are shorter. All of our mini units have fewer student notebook pages and less writing than our full units, so they can be done when you need a break. They are also a great way to add a little extra to your homeschool day or meet your state or provincial requirements. If you're looking for a starting place, don't miss our Growing up with God series (one of our top sellers) or one of our holiday minis for a fun break!

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT

Written by: Ruth-Ann Dyck

Take a journey through Alberta with this mini unit! Designed for geography and social studies, this adventure encourages students to compare Alberta’s history, topography, industry, economy, and politics with their own region, no matter where they live. Each lesson offers insights into Alberta’s rich history, stunning landscapes, unique flora and fauna, key industries, and remarkable individuals who shaped its identity.

Learn all the ins and outs of life in a hive! This unit walks you through the beekeeping process from start to finish. You can use it to learn about the world of bees as a family, or go one step further and follow it as a guide to set up and care for your own hive at home! Let us walk you through setting up, caring for, and harvesting honey from your very own bee colony!

This short study is a fun detour for the summer months or a quick history boost any time of year.

With just two days of lessons, it's designed to help you sneak in meaningful learning in the days leading up to the holiday. Students will meet a French explorer who accidentally "found" and named the land and study the formation of the first four colonies, separation from England, and the coming together of the country we now know as Canada. You'll also explore the flag, national anthem, and ways Canada Day is celebrated across the country.

This unit takes a difficult and complicated topic and breaks it down into something more digestible. With French word highlights, art, vocabulary, and Bible pages, it is diverse and broad reaching. Learn about levels of government involvement, different types of government, some of Canada's prime ministers, exports and trade, and more!

We broke all the rules with this one and went with messy crafts and full-blown family activities to help you and your family make some lasting memories!

There is something for literally everyone in this unit, with space in the Teacher’s Guide for mom or dad to write their responses as well. Your family will be learning about the story of the Gospel, what worship is, the Lord’s prayer and how to pray, the power of forgiveness, God’s resurrection power in our lives and hearts, and more.

This unit is designed to be used by anybody, homeschoolers or non-homeschoolers, as a way to connect as a family and appreciate the true meaning of Christmas.

With a beautiful list of book suggestions, movie discussion questions for a few Christmas classics, delicious baking, songs, and more . . . this unit is full of ways to spend time together as a family, making memories and remembering what Christmas is truly all about.

Celebrate summer with purpose in our Fourth of July mini unit!

In just two engaging lessons, students explore the formation of the thirteen colonies, separation from England, and the birth of the United States, then connect that history to modern traditions like the flag, national anthem, and festive gatherings.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES Written by: Rebecca Spooner

This unit is written as a personal journal for your kids as they learn more about their bodies and the changes they will go through as they grow into young adults. Each of the three different levels comes in a boy or girl version to make it as specific as possible so as to not expose kids to something they’re not ready for. It is designed to be read independently by your child, but you can use this unit however you feel most comfortable for your family.

Filled with rich discussions and an opportunity to learn more about our past, this unit doesn’t hide from anything. We talk about residential schools, reconciliation, cultural appropriation, bias and prejudice, racism, and so much more. This unit is recommended for any family in the United States and Canada to broaden their understanding of some of the residual ripples that are still felt to this day. We will dig into the history of Indigenous Peoples of Canada to present day!

At first it was hard for me to only read one chapter a time. I wanted to fly through the book because it was so good and couldn’t wait to see what happened next.

This unit is full of the most fun, exciting, and interesting pets we could find, and it is sure to pique the interest of animal lovers everywhere! Fair warning, though: it just might convince you to add a new furry or scaly member to the family!

This mini unit (designed for high schoolers) includes 20 lessons and one level with daily readings to guide students through Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis.

Using science fiction as a lens, students will explore big questions about humanity, fear, connection, society, and belief. Along the way, they will track story elements, build vocabulary, and reflect on how the book's themes shape their own understanding of the world.

We are so excited about our brand-new geography series that will be releasing over the next two years. A new unit is being released every few weeks and they are organized into a regional color coding system, allowing you to purchase just your local study, your neighboring states or provinces, or even an entire region. As we complete various regions, we hope to add lapbooks as well. With 50 state units and 13 provinces and territories to release, this is a huge undertaking, and we have a number of teams who are devoted to making this happen! Units are being released alphabetically and though they are only 4 lessons (a week long), they include 5 pages per day in the student books, making them equivalent to a full-unit in output. This means that taking a break from a full unit or slipping them in between your regular school year schedule will give you a fun detour without sacrificing your workload or missing anything! If you're needing credits for economics, civics, US history, and more . . .

This series is perfect for helping to build a high school transcript!

Our Family Membership is really about three things: savings, priority support, and community. It gives you an automatic 15% discount on all of our live and on-demand classes as well as access to grading, and you can start and stop at any time. You will be added in our private parent and student hubs for a sense of community and connection. Our parent hub has priority support with a dedicated account manager who will help answer your questions quickly and efficiently. This option pays for itself if you are planning on going all-in, but it is also included in some of our other options, so keep reading to make sure you don't double purchase!

ACADEMY INSIDER

Does all of the above sound great? Then the Academy Insider is for you. With this option, you will get it all: the Family Membership, every On-Demand course in our Academy Library and every Live Course we have lined up this year. Your access starts when you subscribe and ends when you cancel, but during your subscription period, you'll get it all: the discounts, the support, and the community too!

INDEPENDENT ENROLLMENT

This is our most flexible option yet! Independent enrollment allows you to mix and match any 9 units of your choice (math and 12-lesson mini units only count as half a unit) to create your own year.

Your support teacher will get you access to an exclusive parent and student app where you will be able to upload assignments, track progress, and see grading and feedback. You will receive three meetings with your teacher, a complimentary tutoring session, and the full benefits of the Family Membership plus 15% off tutoring as well. If you need report cards, grading, transcripts, motivation, accountability, or support but want to set up your year your way . . . this is for you. We have family discounts available, and we'll be with you every step of the way! You choose the classes (from units you purchase, units you already own, or snag any online courses you join us for), and we'll take care of all of the tracking and reporting.

We’ve used Gather Round for 4 years. I love how portable, flexible, and Bible based it is. It’s affordable compared to others too!”
