Mission: World Wonders
Mission: World Wonders has been an awesome program for my son! We are a year out of the Classical Conversations Challenge program, and I love to be able to get to the things I haven’t had a chance to focus on over the years. Easy to follow, amazing books, and just so much fun! I wish we had this sooner! – Rebecca
We have absolutely loved Mission: World Wonders this year! Learning geography by songs and reading about missionaries from countries we were studying made the biggest impact on us. It really encouraged our faith to read how they fully trusted in the Lord to provide all of their needs and how He did just that. Anytime I talk about the books I mention how reading about people who literally had nothing, had to beg, and had to trust fully in the Lord for provision, shows how self-reliant we are as a culture. Difficult times can make us stronger and help us trust in the Lord. – Christine
We have loved Mission: World Wonders SO MUCH! Reading all the missionary stories and applying them alongside the geography and history studies has been so much fun! Thank you for all your hard work in putting this together for families like us. -Niki
We’ve been doing Mission: World Wonders this year and the best part of our year has been the missionary stories. I have a 12 year old son and he told me the other night after we listened to Cameron Townsend that before this year he really hadn’t seen his need for Jesus. God has used the missionary stories to help my son see how ordinary people trust God. Praise the Lord! Keep working for Him, Brandy Ferrell! – Joy from Joy-Filled Journey (Watch Joy’s video review.)
We have been using Mission: World Wonders this year and it has totally transformed our school day!! We are a CC family and this year we wanted to add a bit more to our educational journey, Mission World Wonders checked every box that I was looking for! The read aloud list is perfect, we have enjoyed reading the missionary biographies. The map work is superb! My little 7 year old can name all the countries of Africa! My 10 year old loves science and wanted to dig deeper, the science projects and lessons have been perfect for us! – Sasha
We are wrapping up week 5 of Mission: World Wonders at our home. To say this change of pace and using your meticulously well put together curriculum has been wonderful is such an understatement. I was timid and anxious but excited and hopeful going into this year. It has been so, so helpful to have everything ready to go and laid out clear and simple each week. It is a manageable work load. It doesn’t leave me feeling like I’m drowning, or that I’m not doing enough. What I most appreciate probably is how incredibly the pieces connect together. The connections are rich and meaningful and cohesive. I know your work had to be long and painstaking to create these purposeful connections in the curriculum, and it is not lost on me! Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU! – Karissa
Mission: Faith Forgers
I am so in love with this curriculum and share it with all our friends. Mission: World Wonders & Mission: Faith Forgers have been the first programs I’ve found that have most simplified our journey and made me really love being a homeschool family. Thank you! – Niki
I deliberated a long time before purchasing this curriculum for my son. I knew it had so many great books in it, and the author Brandy Ferrell had done all the work of planning each lesson for me, which is very handy for a busy homeschooling mama. And it had a mission focus, which I was wanting to incorporate into our home culture. It even aligned nicely with the studies we are doing this year with our homeschool co-op. A total win, right? So why was I hesitating to get it? Here’s the truth: I was scared that I wouldn’t follow through and actually do the work. Our lives are very full right now and I just didn’t know if I could be disciplined enough to do a structured science, music, art and geography curriculum. I barely can get math, language arts, piano, our memory work, chores, and read-alouds in every day. Could I really do more? So I deliberated and put off making a decision until 1 month ago. And then I decided to go for it. And I am so glad I did! This curriculum has been so easy to implement without any extra planning or prep for me. We are learning so much about the early church and individuals involved in spreading the gospel, and the best part is that we are learning about and praying for other cultures and countries as a result. The whole family is loving the devotions and read-alouds and it is bringing us together as a family. It definitely has filled in the gaps we had and enriched our culture at home as well. I am so glad I finally took the plunge and purchased it! ❤️ Thanks Brandy Ferrell of Half-a-Hundred Acre Wood. This has far exceeded my expectations and we are so blessed by it! -Ferne
Before stumbling upon Brandy’s World Missions curriculum last year, homeschooling with my three children became dull and monotonous. I had a deep longing to bring more gospel-centered truth and LIFE to our day to day. If I wanted to make disciples, I needed inspiration. I have been doing Classical Conversations for over 8 years but I didn’t want our time at home to be about memorizing facts (although important); and trudging along our various subjects. While working through World Wonders, our hearts and minds are filled with memories of learning all about Africa & Asia with real life brave Christian heroes who have fleshed out Christianity, creating African masks out of cardboard, geography (pretty impressed that my six year old knew all of Africa & Asia!), hymn study, nature walks, and gathering around the table to pray for these various countries. I could share so much more of what we learned but if you are on the fence of purchasing this curriculum or Brandy’s current one, don’t hesitate. Her plans are laid out very organized and easy to follow. Plus there is flexibility to change it up according to the needs of your family. We are currently on Unit 2: Week 1 of her Faith Forgers curriculum and I can already see the changes in my kids as we study church history, do art, study Europe, and enjoy conversation together. I give thanks to God for using Brandy and her husband’s gifts to enrich our homeschooling journey! – Shilo
Was talking to a CC friend & we were talking about how much were enjoying Mission: Faith Forgers!!…(& how we hope you have a new one for cycle 3, hint hint) 😊😉 -Vanessa
We have enjoyed the Mission: Faith Forgers curriculum this year! With three boys my favorite time of the day is the time when we just sit and read together. It is the only “mostly” peaceful time of our day. 🙂 We can’t wait to purchase Lasting Liberty for next year. -Katy
Mission: Lasting Liberty
We are getting ready to wrap-up our Lasting Liberty journey. We have loved the depth added of using a portfolio, documenting with notes and art entries made it real. This past year we increased personal awareness as we delved deeper into our Bible and hymn devotions. We thoroughly enjoyed the Sciences, Mapping/Geography, and enriching our understanding of American government and aligning history through pertinent books for family reading time. Truly you have created a simply beautiful and easy to use medium for our home learning environment. –Marta
This has been the most relevent and rich curriculum we have ever worked with!! Thank you, Brandy Ferrell, for taking your time to put this all together! This should be a staple in the education system! -Jenn
This curriculum helped me fall in love with homeschooling all over again! we are so thankful for these resources! -Ashley
It has brought the joy back to my homeschool. I recommend it all the time! -Michelle
These past three years of implementing this curriculum has enriched our homeschooling. We give thanks for you Brandy and your family . -Shilo
Script-n-Scribe Cursive Program
We’ve been loving the Hymns in History! I’ve been memorizing a hymn a month with my 7 and 9 year olds. I especially love the way you’ve tied in artworks from the various time periods! – Emma
Brandy has done such a beautiful job putting [Hymns in History] together. Don’t walk but run to buy this for your family! Rich hymns to sing together, wonderful artwork, poems, and scriptures to meditate on together. -Shilo, Abide in Him
We have been using the Truth Traveler Script and Scribe and have absolutely loved it. We enjoy the beautiful images, poetry, words, and truth added in each of the daily assignments! Thank you for this amazing resource! – Marrissa, Yellow Spot:Sun
Just wanted to send a note that I love the Americana workbook. I ordered it through my charter school. I’m excited to get my 4th grader started on it. She will love it. Great job! – Anna
Oh, how I wish my children had been able to learn from the start with [the Script-n-Scribe Roller Coaster Writer] program. It is so well organized and perfect for all types of learners. And, if you know Brandy and are familiar with her work as a classical homeschooling mother and writer, that work is of the HIGHEST excellence… I can’t emphasize enough – everything is BEAUTIFUL and inspiring!
