"We really enjoyed Horizons Phonics and Reading for second grade last school year. We were so excited to use this after using Horizons for kindergarten and first grade. I was very impressed with the lessons and stories. My little guy couldn't wait to find out what happened next in both Robinson Crusoe and A Little Princess! I also have used Horizons Math for both of my children. One is gifted, and one has special needs. The spiraled curriculum with constant review and reinforcement has worked better than any other curriculum we have tried."

"We switched to Horizons for a more structured phonics base, and my daughter's reading skills have improved substantially. I just wish we had started sooner!"

-Monique W., CA

"Horizons is the only curriculum that I don't feel I need to question each year. I started using something else for my son in kindergarten and then switched to Horizons in 1st grade. Since then, I have used it consistently and know it is thorough. It's simple for me to teach, and I have been very happy with it. I started my 5-year-old daughter on it this year, and she loves it!"

"I feel strongly that homeschooling prepares a child for college in a very effective way. If one takes time to consider, college is more similar to homeschooling, where concepts are more self-taught through study than public school, where concepts are learned primarily in groups. I was homeschooled for almost all of my school years using AOP. My mother used AOP because the curriculum was easy to use with the multiple-age groups she was teaching. When I got to college, I had very few problems. Good grades came easily, and I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I feel that this is very much because of my home education. I am now looking into ordering AOP preschool materials for my own son. I highly recommend this company because of their curriculum's simple format, comprehensive materials, and Christian base."

"I just wanted to tell you how wonderful you are for providing us with everything we need to give our children a wonderful Christian-based education. I have homeschooled all of my children. Since I discovered AOP, nothing I used before you compared. I am even able to homeschool my youngest son successfully, despite the fact that he has Asperger's Syndrome. Again, thank you so much for the love and dedication you show to all of God's children."

-Lynne B., MO

"I am writing to tell you of the wonderful experience I have had with your curriculum. I began homeschooling my thirteen-year-old son when he was four years old and in preschool. Subjects that I would not have had the time or ability to teach him personally have been studied with confidence, creating an independent learner. The curriculum has provided a means to systematically learn at a pace that is comfortable for him, while completing the course work for the year. The well researched and presented information provide opportunities for understanding the content, while igniting an interest to learn more about the subject matter. The biblical integration has been a blessing to me and has strengthened my son's knowledge and faith. Having AOP as my partner in my child's education has supported me and confirmed in my mind that I have the ability to homeschool my child throughout his high school years. Thank you for providing these excellent materials."

-Mary Annthipie B., NJ

"I have just completed my order with AOP for our homeschooling materials for the next school year. For the first time in the two years I have been homeschooling our three boys, I feel a complete peace and excitement for the school year to come. As many homeschoolers do, I have researched and tried many of the homeschooling products available. Indeed, the choices are endless. However, I have finally found a curriculum with AOP that fits our family's values, goals, learning styles, and lifestyle. Thank you for offering quality products at such an affordable price. We look forward to many years of learning with AOP and the blessings that are sure to come. God bless you all at AOP!"

"My wife and I have homeschooled our children for six years, and our last one just graduated. We used your Bible-based materials to teach our children the Christian faith, and it is through your programs that they have a sound foundation to stand on. I have also seen my wife grow as a Christian through your studies. Thanks for being a company God can use to spread the Good News and help our children see light in this dark world. Your light shines brightly. Never stop allowing the Spirit to work in your company."

-Greg D., AL

"I am homeschooling my two oldest boys, ages 6 and 8. Last year, they were both in public school and their teachers felt both of them should be held back. I disagreed and decided to homeschool with Horizons. I worried because we didn't get started until a month and a half after school normally starts. Last year, my oldest boy just didn't seem to "get" math. When we started, he spent well over an hour on math every day, but now he flies through it, and my once insecure child feels proud of his improvements. My oldest boy also failed reading in public school, but with Horizons Phonics & Reading he is excelling! He has not missed a single answer, and he loves the readers. I could not be happier with Horizons!"

-Christina K., IN

"My husband and I have been homeschooling our 15-year-old son since he was 11 and our 10-year-old daughter since she was 5. We are so happy we decided to homeschool our children. We feel they are receiving the best education possible with the AOP curriculum. Our children enjoy their home education. Our son especially enjoys it, since he remembers what it was like in school: noisy classrooms, not enough individual time with teachers, bullies, etc."

-Yvonne S., MI

"I am so excited! I have been praying about homeschooling my son for two years. We finally decided that the time was now, and he will be leaving public school and starting homeschool next semester. I felt like God was answering our prayer by providing an affordable curriculum that is Christ-centered."

-Jennifer D., AR

"I have been homeschooling for seven years and have used curriculum from AOP every year. I started with it when my two older children were in preschool and kindergarten. I am now homeschooling four children. It is so nice to know that AOP is there with so many great products to make my life easier as a homeschooler! Thanks AOP!"

-Angela O., MN
