This was our first year of homeschooling and all I can say is THANK GOD I FOUND CALVERT! Truly, I was somewhat overwhelmed at the task of finding a good program. We are not Christian so it was important to me to find a program that was not religiously affiliated or slanted.

Calvert gave me the confidence to know that I was covering all of the bases. For me, the real moment of truth came when I had the courage to allow some flexibility in our day and let some things slide while other, more needed educational goals were persued.

It was a great year of growth. Thanks Calvert.

We loved the 6th grade Calvert Homeschool program and are very happy with the support of an advisory Teacher.(ATS)
Its very much worth the xtra money spent, to get a professional- to grade and write reviews.
The books are wonderful and the manuals are easy to follow.
Its fun for the whole family (especially if You haven't been to school for a while:)
I highly recommend Calvert!!!

I can't say enough about the support staff. When my daughter and I struggled due to pre-adolescence or a cuirriculum question they were there to guide us through with great patience and knowledge. I couldn't be more pleased.

The curriculum was challenging and appreciated!

We'll be back in seventh grade.

Calvert's 6th Grade course was challenging, interesting, and enjoyable for both of my children. I have recommended Calvert to all of my homeschooling friends that are interested in a classical education for their children. We have been with Calvert for 7 years now and my youngest will be in the Eighth Grade program this year. My oldest child was sad to leave the school upon her 8th grade graduation and hopes that Calvert will offer a High School option in the near future.

This is an excellent and demanding sixth grade course. That mathematics, science, and history are very well done. The reading texts include classics such as The Phantom Tollbooth and Anne of Green Gables that are sure to excite and interest children of this age.
