Heart of Dakota?

[Allie]

What are your thoughts on Heart of Dakota in the middle school/high school years? Is it enough? Is it solid?

I'm a big fan of HOD. My daughter used the guides from CTC through MtMM for grades 5-8. It is a solid curriculum with rich living books. The reason we went with HOD is that each guide targets a specific age and skill set. I've never heard of HOD being questioned for not being enough, but quite the opposite. While we used the middle guides pretty much as written, we will probably modify the high school guides which are often said to be too full. I love the detailed teacher guide and find it easy to cut things if necessary. Some would rather have less and add in stuff so it depends on your preference. It's hard to find a curriculum package that's going to cover everything to your liking and to meet your child's needs. For me, HOD was the closest thing to checking all the boxes.
