Personally, this is our family's fourth year using My Father's World and I can't say enough praise! I have friends now using My Father's World because they hear my children loving "school" so much! Thank you!!

One of my big surprises when we found My Father's World was that my kids seemed to be learning MORE in LESS time. It’s a highly effective curriculum that gets a lot of work done without extra busy work.

Thank you to My Father's World for creating in my family a love of history, starting at Creation and interweaving history in context with the rest of the world throughout time to the Modern Age. We would not be where we are today in our homeschooling, possessing a true love and passion for and desire to defend the Christian worldview of history.
