"Outstanding ... should be on every home educator's reference bookshelf." —Homeschooling TodayThis educational bestseller has dominated its field for the last decade, sparking a homeschooling movement that has only continued to grow. It will instruct you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high school. Two veteran home educators outline the classical pattern of education—the trivium—which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind. With this model, you will be able to instruct your child in all levels of reading, writing, history, geography, mathematics, science, foreign languages, rhetoric, logic, art, and music, regardless of your own aptitude in those subjects. Newly revised and updated, The Well-Trained Mind includes detailed book lists with complete ordering information; up-to-date listings of resources, publications, and Internet links; and useful contact information.

4.0 The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home, Revised and Updated Edition
A great guide to giving your kid a classical education, but you've got to be willing to commit a LOT of time to doing it, otherwise it'll feel completely overwhelming. I love the idea, but in our case following it closely wasn't feasible. Even though we're not using it as a curriculum, we still refe...
