"I have used your LIFEPAC curriculum with my son for the last four years of his homeschool education and must say that I'm impressed by your detailed, thorough, and concise curriculum that emphasizes ideas and concepts to the point where they are embedded in the memory of the student permanently. That is a rarity in today's education system in which students tend to forget material within a few months of learning it, if not weeks. As college approaches, it has become essential that we ensure for ourselves the most exceptional curriculum available. Thanks."

"When my husband and I were raising support to go overseas as missionaries, I started looking for homeschooling materials for our children. We had specific requirements that the curriculum had to meet. It had to travel well (I hated the thought of lugging around heavy books that we might only read a page or two out of in a week!), it had to be affordable on our limited budget, and it had to be flexible. LIFEPACs have given us just that. I especially love the fact that my girls can work independently when they need to do so, or we can go in-depth and really dig into topics that interest us!"

"My daughter is proof that LIFEPACs work. She is a senior in college. She was a National Merit Scholar finalist as a senior in high school and has attended our public college on scholarship. She has been published twice, and all her professors comment on what a marvelous educational foundation she received at home. LIFEPACs allow you to let your children excel in the areas in which they are especially gifted, while still acquiring a firm foundation in all subjects. You can make the projects simple or turn them into in-depth research projects, depending on your child's needs and tastes. My daughter has had no problem adapting both academically and socially, having been elected president of the honor's college twice now. Homeschooling works and LIFEPACs make it easy."

"I really like your LIFEPACs because they helped me get back to living a wonderful life after I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. Thanks for everything."

"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 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

"One day, my daughter came home crying after taking a state examination stating that she didn't know the answers to several of the questions. I soon found out that my daughter was horribly behind in all the areas of math, English, history, and science. LIFEPAC is truly a blessing, and Alpha Omega Publications is the saving grace. My daughter and I love the LIFEPAC worktexts. They are great."

-Yolanda N., NY

"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 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."

"I recently pulled my oldest son from the private school he was attending. Before pulling him, I was researching several curricula when a friend suggested LIFEPAC. I was able to acquire the diagnostic tests to see where he was. I soon discovered what he was learning at school in 7th grade, LIFEPAC was already teaching at the 3rd or 4th grade level! I immediately bought LIFEPAC on the lower grade levels, so he could catch up by the start of the next school year. I also started homeschooling my youngest child. He also is behind, but is catching up quickly. They both enjoy learning and being homeschooled, and I can be sure they are learning what they need. Thank you very much."

-Michele S., TX

"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."

-Esther P., AR

"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!"

-Brenda S., NM

"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

"We love AOP! It is so simple, and we can take a worktext or two with us anywhere we go."

-Christal H., TN

"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!"
