About Us
Home School Treasures has been in business for over ten years. Our company was established when we started homeschooling our children because we saw the need for quality materials. We wanted to help others save money and time, as well as share the freedom of breaking out of the public school mindsets and failing methods. We had purchased so many different products that were either barely used or sat on our shelves that we wasted on our money on or they just didn't work for us.
Our first motive is to serve the Christian Home schooling community. When we started almost 20 years ago, not much help was available ... unless we paid dearly for it. There are so many different methods and topics on the subject, one can easily get lost and overwhelmed. Remember quality-vs-quantity. We hope your experience at our website will help to relieve you, encourage you, and remind you that no one on the planet loves and cares for your children and their education more than You, their parent(s).
We offer many free resources that are available on the internet. We
update them as time permits. There is so much out there that is free, it too,
can become overwhelming. We have tried to include only those that we thought
would benefit the most people since all of our children are different. Our
main resource is the A2 Home Study Program. Even if ALL of the program's vast contents were available free online, the time it would take to collect, store, organize and structure such material would never outweight the selling price of $99 for an all-in-one curriculum. The program has enough structure and organization to save you valuable time, yet leaves enough room to be flexible and adjust, or supplement, if you want, according to you and your children's needs. When we first started homeschooling our children,
we used the Robinson Curriculum. The RC can be summed up in one simple statement that has helped many parents break out of the public schools and advance as well as the curriculum claims. "There are three subjects; Reading, Writing and Arithmetic; everything else can be covered in the reading materials." That single sentence is all anyone needs to hear and without spending $200 for a booklist with no instruction.
Many homeschooling companies are in that "box" of thinking the way to educate our children is to duplicate the public school's method and add in a little religion. We however, are among those that have broken out of the box of this antiquated system and have examined education at the turn of the century, where education or knowledge was at its highest and children learned more and were alot smarter than they are today. They utilized the 3-R's method, Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. All subjects were learned in this manner and the children were motivated, self-learners. The more a child can research and be encouraged to enchance their own education, the fewer their limitations will be, there will be less work and stress on the parents, and
the child will become more successful and advance to higher levels quickly.
A Home Library and use of your local library is very important in every home. We provide hand selected titles of books that are complete and unabridged, either rare, or previously out of print and many times not available or known by the general public. Many of our books are great collectibles and are great gifts to share with others. We offer direct shipping to your recipent and mail the receipt to your address. Email us your directions of what you want written on an enclosed card, and we'll include it free of charge.
If you cannot understand our basic statement of faith from our articles, it would suffice to say that we are believers. We do not have a denominational preference or affiliation. We believe in the requirement of John 3:3, and that when a person is born-again or "saved", that a transformation of the spirit takes place by God's grace. We believe that the persons faith without works is dead. (James 2:17-20) and that each of us has the responsibility to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. (Phil. 2:12), least the sacrificial blood of Jesus be trodden under foot. (Hebrews 10:26-31). Many confess or profess to be Christians, yet their fruit says otherwise. We also believe it is not our place to judge the salvation or condition of another's heart. We shall know our brothers and sisters in Christ by their fruits, not by their church affiliation or statement of faith.
Feel free to email us if you have any questions or if we can be of help and encouragement to you. We hope our website leaves you feeling empowered and with a freedom of choice and joy, that transfers over to your children. That your children will enjoy learning and the education process. And that our Christian children of today, YOUR children, will indeed be,
tomorrow's leaders! Please utilize our Articles to help encourage you with thought-provoking ideas and tips for your home and family.
Abundant Blessings to you and your family!
