The short article below is intended as a reality check—and
perhaps a ray of sunshine—for independent home schoolers
who, though convinced of the nobility of their choice, are
a bit out of breath. Relax for a moment, and consider a work-saving
alternative.
Many home schoolers, especially the well-seasoned ones, choose
to be independent, i.e., they do not enroll in an established program.
They spend many hours every year at conventions, book fairs, used
book sales, and teacher supply stores, poring over every kind of
curriculum. They spend more hours deciding among the myriad of
alternatives. They develop daily or weekly lesson plans; assemble
or create all their children’s daily work and tests; grade
all of it; and design report cards, diplomas, transcripts—and
everything else—on their home computer.
Some home schoolers have the desire to be independent. But others
have been driven to this kind of effort because they have been
led to believe that, unless they home school from scratch, they
have somehow fallen short of the ideal.
Nonsense.
 Now, mind you, we love independent home schoolers! Many of them
select Christian Liberty textbooks and readers! Independent home
schoolers who already know and love our books are the kind of people
we like to introduce to the CLASS program.
CLASS is an alternative for those who prefer independence but are
weary of having to do it all themselves. Why not let CLASS assemble
your curriculum from a selection of courses developed over more
than 35 years? We offer comprehensive administrative services,
yet leave you free to structure your own day, set your own schedule,
and turn in your work when you are ready.
We assign the individual
courses, but adjustments are available if you need them. The order
in which you complete your courses
is up to you. You can wait to start history or science until the
second semester if you want. There are no rigid schedules for submitting
work, and you have an entire year—not just nine or ten months—to
complete your assignments. You can even purchase up to three (3)
extension quarters if you need more time to complete a grade level.
Another reason for independent home schoolers to consider CLASS
is—It’s a great value! For no more, and often far less,
than you spend doing it all yourself, you can eliminate the guesswork
and drudgery. We take the guesswork out of home schooling by assembling
a complete and proven curriculum for your grade level. Then we
remove the drudgery by providing administrative services which
include grading the tests, sending quarterly report cards, sending
transcripts when you need them, granting recognized diplomas at
eighth and twelfth grades, and maintaining your student’s
cumulative records. Help is just a phone call or email away every
business day.
CLASS is a proven program, having been used by well over 100,000
busy and dedicated families worldwide since its founding in 1967.
