We have used ToG for this past year and LOVE it! Because we have many children at differing levels, it has been a massive help. The first 2-3 weeks were horrible as I had to figure out the program. However, once I actually read through it and found the "Grace" available there, I am firmly hooked. I was a teacher before becoming a mother and I have looked through many, many different texts and programs. Tapestry beats them all - hands down! It is excellently written. It is thorough yet, as the name implies, it is full of grace. Our entire family has thrived using this curriculum. The books that are recommended as supplimental reading have been carefully chosen. Although it is rarely necessary, if there happen to be any objectionable parts, there are warnings in the instructions so you can make sure to have your child skip "Chapter 14", "Page 132" or whatever. No more having to pre-read everything! That is a huge time-saver.

Like best: Gives me new insight into biblical truths, works with large family, Christ-centered, flexible, affordable(can be used with libraries).
Downside: Takes more prep time than a curriculum-in-a-box (but I actually like that), uses lots of looseleaf paper (can be difficult to keep organized).

I'm the mother of 7 children and we've been homeschooling since 1992. I've tried so many things, but have finally found a "home" with Tapestry of Grace. It is everything I could ever hope for in a curriculum. My kids are getting an incredibly rich education thanks to TOG. I could not be happier.

I'm officially Tapestry of Grace's "most satisfied customer," with six kids who have been using it (in some form) since 1995, so I'm biased--but it's great!

I'm too flighty to deal with the rigors of a classical education. I'm a freelance writer AND a freelance homeschooler! I use a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Not yet, but I'm planning on it! My daughter is almost four now and we'll be starting sometime soon. I read "Well-Trained Mind" and I liked the idea of Classical Education... then I found TOG and I got really excited! Can't wait to start... :)
