I love your program! However, I was a little disappointed with a few things. First of all, when my course arrived, some of the books had been damaged in shipping and were bent, dented, and scratched in several areas. Secondly, I do not always agree with the way that other religions are presented in this course (particularly the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). Some of the information is missing or incorrect, and other religions are often described as "wrong." Although the damage in shipping is unavoidable, I would love if the problem surrounding religion was addressed. Other than these two things, however, I am satisfied with the course.

I would give this a 2.25 probably more fairly. x1000 the layout and organization of the books. I wish,particularly for the high school level, it had much more facts.
However, some of the book statements seemed flat out questionable, and so I looked to see the information sources I found little to convince me materials were pulled from accurate and scholarly sources whatsoever but were more a storybook narrative and parts may or may not be fiction, more of a possibly high accuracy historical fiction based on the short list of sometimes official and some questionable sources. A screen actors guild really??
To be fair, I have not reviewed other k-12 history curriculum as I’ve usually made it myself from various historical sources. I simply expect a formal textbook to contain formal sources so that students can reference back to those sources for more information and was sadly and greatly disappointed.

I searched for months for a curriculum to teach American History. America the Beautiful checked all the boxes and then some. I’ve learned so much with my students that I never learned when in school myself. It’s so thorough that I feel like I could just add a math curriculum and have all subjects covered for the year. Looking forward to using the high school curriculum when my boys are older!

Although I ordered only one set myself, I teach ATB at a cooperative, so you received many orders (of ATB) for my class. I know that it is the printer's fault that the orders were delayed, but (in retrospect), I wish that you had continued to make available the previous edition for purchase. Working from downloads was difficult, definitely not optimal. I have been teaching classes using five different sets of your curriculum (American History, World History, Govt/Econ, Civics, and ATB) for a decade, and think that you provide the best curriculum out there. However, I am a bit nervous about the next time a new edition is due to come out. Thank you, Gwen Hood

Gwendolyn: Thank you for your honest feedback. We know that the delay in getting the new edition of "America the Beautiful" ready was frustrating. We will try to keep in mind the lessons learned as we continue to improve our operations!

This is our first year using Notgrass History and we LOVE IT!! Finally, a curriculum that has it all: a biblical worldview, a way of teaching history that makes it come alive for my kids and I, plus it incorporates a lot of Scripture and quality literature. We are hooked! Thank you, Ray, Charlene and your whole team for putting together such a wonderful homeschool curriculum! It truly is a blessing for my family and me.
