Online ordering of texts
We are at last able to offer online purchasing of the texts that we use in our courses. Just click on the link to the category. Please note that we arrange our texts according to setting, not necessarily when the author lived. For an example, Thomas Bulfinch's Age of Fable is listed under "Ancient Period," and not under "Modern Period." Book sets for the various courses are displayed on the ordering pages with links on each course page.

Proposed Additions
We have a comparison to the curriculum at this link. Our literature courses are categorized as "4-day" or "5-day" courses. The meaning of these catalogies is the schedules for courses are either four days a week or five days a week. While anyone may purchase a "4-day" course, the courses are primarily designed for coops that meet once a week. Coop students usually have four days of studies at home and one day in a classroom. Also, coops tend to have a separate class for composition. Therefore, these literature classes do not integrated writing, except for weekly 1-paragraph journal entries. Currently, our plans are not to discontinue any of the courses, but to offer more choices for home educators. Therefore, none of the courses presently will be discontinued in the near future.
Auto-downloads of Courses
Our materials have a link automatically placed in your receipt if you order a downloadable product. Regarding courses that you wish to download, please note the size of the courses, which are quite large even as zipped files. Only our older edition is available for download. Eventually, all the new courses will be available online. Please see below.
Online classrooms
We will be developing another way to use our courses. We will gradually offer online courses and study guides. These courses will have all of the materials necessary for the student as well as links to study aids, some handouts, and online reading quizzes, vocabulary quizzes, journal entries, and unit tests. Survey of Western Literature 1 (9th-12th) and Survey of British Literature (9th-12th) should be the first to become activated using the new format and classroom; however, we cannot give an exact time when this will take place. A lot of planning and upfront work goes into creating these courses, so it will take some time. An online demo classroom can be entered here.

Answer key for Great
Expecations updated
When we revised our Student Companion to Great Expectations (which has a picture of Pip and Miss Havisham on the cover), we had overlooked revising the answer key. If your key does not have "Revised 2011" in the upper-left corner, you can download the revised key here. We apologize for the oversight and any inconvenience.
Course building continues
Latin 1, an online course, will be available by August 2011.
Those of you who are seaching for a Latin course may be interested in our online Latin course. Latin 2 is still being developed. The course is currently being tested with Veritas students at both Macon and Warner Robins campuses. Watson Educational Services has a Latin demo classroom here. Check this website for updates as to the progress of the class.
Additional English courses
Updating our website is just one project that we are tackling at the moment. After many years watching the development of home-schooling, we believe that we need to add some additional literature courses for a couple of reasons:
1) With the increase in the use of our courses by home-school co-ops, we will be putting together a schedule that will be based on a 4-day week rather than the 5-day one that we currently have. This means primarily that, while still significant, the student will have fewer readings per year with the 4-week courses.
Currently, for an example, a Shakespearean play is covered in five lessons, or just one week. However, with the new scheduling, the student will take two weeks to read the play. This will allow two class sessions for most instructors with co-ops to discuss the work. The other three days in the eight-day period at home, the student will have outside assignments and journal entries to write. In other words, in a two-week period as a unit, the student will have read the play in five days and other assignments for three days.
2) We are wanting to acquaint 7th- and 8th-graders with some great literature. Dori Anne Abbott continues to work on her excellent Revolutionary View of History. Along with this course, we are developing an English program that will be compatible with the history course.
