PeterPan Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Can you summarize? I don't have access. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyeska Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I don't know if I am supposed to cut and paste forum stuff from over there, and it isn't on the public forums. So I can summarize. : ) The highschool cores are being separated. There will be History/Bible with a separate IG and Literature and Language arts with a separated IG. This will allow us to mix and match different portions of the cores. There will now be a core 500--World History. Also, Core 400 was changed. There will be an 18 week American Government/Civics and an 18 week Economics. The 400 literature will be its own 36 week course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Thanks for the update. When do the catalogs get mailed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyeska Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I believe the new catalog will be available as a PDF on March 15th. And the big mailout is supposed to happen shortly thereafter. They are expected to be in mailboxes by the last week of the month. There are changes to some of the other cores too...Core W IG got a makeover and several book changes were made. CHOW is still the spine to the best of my knowledge. Core D is getting a revised Landmark book. This will affect Core E next year. The new book has photos added.

Serenade Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'm really happy about the Sonlight changes, especially the addition of the world history core. That one will be a while coming, however. It won't be in the new catalog because it is still in development -- they said maybe this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilly Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'm sorry about the link not being on the public forums. I thought it was. :confused1: Alyeska summarized the changes for everyone. I have never used an upper level core, but I am interested in the changes. I am waiting anxiously for the catalog now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I think the changes are potentially exciting. I look forward to more details. I also hope they don't end up charging as much for each piece as they currently do for the entire IG in effect doubling the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyeska Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Are they keeping the same IG changes that they put in effect last year? (Notes filed by week instead of by book and LA and Bible included in core?) There have been no advertised changes to any of the lower level cores with the exception of the Landmark edit and Core W update. Core W is getting the same update that went into affect for cores A-H last year. I don't anticipate them separating the LA and Bible from the lower cores any time soon (if ever) because it was such a recent overhaul. As for Core 500 World History...another poster mentioned that it won't be in the catalog as it is still in the works. They are hoping to have it ready by late summer I believe.
