This is really helping me think this through. :) I do have two more questions now. :oops: If I do Beyond and combine my dc, it looks like the Science text (like we talked previously) is on 2nd grade level. Do you think that would be too much for my dd who then will be in 1st grade? Also are there an...

I'm new to the boards, so I'm not positive if some of these are on the DITHOR or not. :? You could check here for some ideas. I have not read all of these, but my in-laws have a Christian school and I've seen some if the following on their shelves and their curriculum is not BJU. Check out: On Yonde...

Julie, I've looked at the chart a million times. :) I'll go through the chart and list ea...

Ladies, Hello! I am new to the board. I have poured over the heart of dakota website and catalog. I have two children that I would love to combine in HOD, but I don't know if that's the best thing. They each would be doing their own Math and Phonics/Grammar. My dd will be in First Grade next year an...
