Information about the Websites Listed on This Page

http://www.achipa.com/ is the website for the American Christian History Institute. They are located in Northern California. They hold many trainings for traditional educators. home educators, and anyone else who would like to educate themselves in biblical presuppositional thinking.

http://www.alabacus.com/ is the website for the RightStart mathematics program. This is the program suggested by The Foundation for American Christian Education (FACE) in their mathematics curriculum guide. I use it personally with our boys and find that this curriculum, with the combination of instruction in principle using leading ideas, has taken our boys far beyond where they would be with any other curriculum.

http://www.answersingenesis.org/ is the website for the Answers in Genesis ministry. This website helps a lot with science studies. They even have many of their videos available to watch online. They offer a companion magazine called Answers. I use it regularly in my science instruction.

http://www.chec.org/ is the website for Christian Homeschool Educators of Colorado. I live in Colorado, so many of the people who may be using this site, at least right now, also live in Colorado. They are an excellent resource for knowledge of homeschool law in this state, for a school to work under if you need, for testing, for resources, . . . If you do not live in Colorado, connect with the homeschool association for your own state. They want to help, and they are a tremendous resource.

http://www.face.net/ is the website for the Foundation for American Christian Education (FACE). These people were my first link to the Principle Approach. They are the publishers of the original Red Books and the American Dictionary of the English Language by Noah Webster (1828 edition). They are the home of Verna Hall and Rosalie Slater who revived this method and philosophy of education. They are always available for questions and encouragement. They offer resources and training in application courses for most subjects. Anyone attempting to pursue this methodology with their students should be on their mailing list.

www.principleapproach.org is a website operated by FACE. It offers articles and other helpful advice for Principle Approach educators. This site should be visited often.

www.seedsofliberty.com is a website put together by Lisa Sinnock, a homeschool educator who is very well versed in the Principle Approach. She has leads a Principle Approach homeschool coop and gives advice and suggests resources from the perspective of a homeschool educator.

www.spalding.org is the website of the language program suggested by FACE. I use this program in my personal instruction as well and can recommend it highly. My older son was introduced to reading in a public school kindergarten through whole language instruction. Even though he only had this sort of instruction in kindergarten, his teacher told him that spelling was not important. She didn't mean it would never be important, but the young child took her statement literally. He really struggled with catching up, but Spalding made it possible. The focus on giving children the tools to spell gave him the ability to spell even unfamiliar words. It shows us that our language does have order (in spite of statements in opposition to this idea). This order equips children to write, spell, and read more capably.
