awanama Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I am using their 6th grade math program. I will say that compared to the public school text my son was using, it is behind. I had to buy it unseen when I pulled my son out and was quite disappointed in it. The public school text which is Holt is at least one year advanced to it. We went ahead and used it but we have skipped about half the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Anyone I know who has used their materials has been very complimentary and appreciative of them (including non-Christians). I don't know how they rate academically compared to any particular, non-named xyz type of curriculum. I believe their work is all pretty rigorous. I have been impressed by everything of theirs I've looked at and would have used them for high school science if we had continued hsing high school. We did use them for Spanish I last year and the programming was very good. I've looked at their music appreciation and art appreciation hs level materials and liked those, as well.

HollyDay Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Quite a few accredited christian schools use BJU so I would think they would have to be on target with their scope and sequence. Just guessing here - but that would make sense to me. I know 2 public school teachers who now homeschool and have chosen BJU science because of the academic excellence of that program.

DawnUK Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm not sure, but I think that they've revamped their curriculum in the past few years. I had looked at it in the past and wasn't very impressed, but I've heard good things about the newer versions. Hope that helps, --Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in CA Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 We use BJU and my son always scores in the 90% and above on standardized tests...yes, even in math. I wouldn't know what ps children are learning, or what is considered advanced, on-level, or behind...I just know that BJU is a solid curriculum, and it works for us.

Bee Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 We used math and LA in the lower grades.Math for grades k-5,LA for 3-5.It seemed like the math my dd learned was comparable to what her peers were learning in ps.She scored in the 90's on her LA scores when I tested her using a standardized test.Speaking from a strictly academic pov,I'd feel very comfortable using this curriculum.

Heather in VA Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I have only dealt with the newest versions but I would definately say it's on-par, with upper level sciences being at LEAST what public school is doing, probably more. Remember too when comparing math that they anticipate a "split" in 7th grade where by their own description over 1/2 of students will skip Fundamentals of Math and go straight from 6th to pre-algebra.
