Let me start by saying that this is no ordinary curriculum...I couldn't wait to see what they would come up with in terms of a geography curriculum, and I was totally blown away. Following the teachings of Charlotte Mason, with their own uniquely developed ideas for unit studies, Marie and David have produced a geography unit study package that is one of the best I have seen in every way...

Exploring Countries and Cultures does a terrific job teaching world geography and is helping us to become sensitive to the need of Jesus in our world.

I just wanted to let you know what a great first year we're having with My Father's World! Our children (12 & 9) were in public school until this year, so I was really nervous about what we should do with them. They have learned more geography in one year than they would have learned by the end of high school in our public schools. They enjoy school each day because of the variety of the curriculum, and they never know what to expect. The Teacher's Manual is so organized, and we love how every day begins with Bible reading. It reminds us that we can't do this without God's help. Thanks for putting together such an amazing collection of teaching tools, making it easy for me to just follow along and feel like a pro.
