I always get excited to hear that other homeschool moms are loving some of the same curriculum that I do! Thanks for sharing about BJU math and MUS. I have been curious about the upper level BJU Distance Learning courses.

Sorry for the late response. I'm assuming (if you are using Alpha) that your child is in kindergarten or first grade. If so, I'd go with the BJU curriculum that matches your child's grade level. Hope that helps!

Abeka is a great curriculum. I personally prefer BJU Press over Abeka but that is just a personal preference. I know many who use and love Abeka.There are so many wonderful curriculum choices out there. Any specific reason you are considering Abeka? And thank you for serving the Lord in El Salvador! We have friends who are also serving in El Salvador. :)

​@@JanelleKnutson I have been searching for programs for 2 years since my daughter started grade 2, I taught her grade 1, 2, 3 and now in grade 4 she needs to learn more specifies things , and I don't feel able to teach them, for several reasons: 1 because the first language is Spanish ( from Cuba ), I have poor grammar and pronunciation in English, and because I am not a teacher. and I'm very afraid that my daughter will be behind in her school and that will affects her later in her future life. A Canadian missionary who is, now in El Salvador as a missionary mention the program, and I checked it in the interned and I looked good because I do not have to prepare classes, I just have to maybe supervise and review the work, I do not have to explain any content because the program has all the recorded classes and it seemed good because they teach the bible also,but in reality I have not checked other programs ,so I asked you your opinion, but I will check BJU press. It would be great to meet more Christian missionaries, my husband preaches here in El Salvador, we are Cuban-Canadians and we have been serving here for almost 4 years. Give my @ them to contact me. thank for your help:))

From what I can gather, Omnibus primary is the main part of the course and covers the history part plus literature and Bible/worldview. The literature in the primary course corresponds to the time period being studied. The secondary course is mostly literature and worldview/Bible. A lot of the literature readings are worldview/Bible related. I think the course would be enjoyed the most by someone who likes to read however, the self-pace course has the video/lecture component which could make the course a bit more enjoyable than just reading and analyzing the required readings on their own. Veritas Press seems to lean towards a Reformed view and these views do come out in the course. For example, the Omnibus 1 Secondary course has the student reading "Chosen by God" by RC Sproul which is a defense of predestination. I'm pretty sure they take a literal 7 day creation view as well.

Veritas Press Omnibus is literature based and ideal for kids who love reading and do well with reading. Notgrass history has some great curriculum for history and it has an option to add in literature. Essentials in Writing also has a literature curriculum that is DVD based.

Welcome to homeschooling! And well done for prepping well in advance! I don’t know if this suggestion would be helpful but does the option of reading aloud or listening to it on an audio offer a solution? I did Omnibus and found some of the readings were awesome :) and some were challenging even for me. No matter the restrictions you are in a wonderful place that you have the opportunity to choose combinations of literature that will be both fun and challenging at your son’ level - as we all have balanced for ours in their strengths and limitations, too. We still did a lot of reading out loud during high school because slowing it down allows for your guidance and comprehension in real time. You are the master of your homeschool!!! LOL Have a wonderful time!
