Thinkwell Math 8: Thinkwell's 8th Grade Math (Prealgebra) is an online homeschool course designed to give your child the reasoning and computational skills they will need to succeed in high school Algebra. Our 300+ video lessons by award-winning mathematician and college professor Dr. Edward Burger provide a path for the best foundation for success in Algebra 1. Automatically graded exercises provide the practice your student needs to understand algebra.

Mr. Q's Life Science– Classic Science offers highly visual science courses with hands-on activities that were written for homeschoolers from a secular perspective. Classic Science features both an “Elementary” series for students in grades one through eight. While the content has more kid-appeal than that in most science texts, it’s also teaching serious science. Don’t let the “Elementary” label fool you into thinking the lower level series are just for the primary grades.

Savvas MyWorld World History: MyWorld History will take middle-school students stage-by-stage through the great events, civilizations, and people of this world. Covering the origins of humanity, Ancient Near East, Ancient India & China, Greece, Rome, Islamic Civilization, African and Asian civilization, the Americas, Europe in the Middle Ages, the rise of Europe, the Early Modern and Modern World, students will discover the grand scope of history. The student text and journal are tied together by the Understanding by Design (UbD) model, which emphasizes "enduring understanding and transfer of learning" for long-term retention and applicability.

Essentials in Writing, Level 8 2nd edition:   EIW Level 8 is a homeschool writing curriculum that teaches middle school students ages 13 to 14 how to write meaningful sentences, proper grammar, and sentence mechanics as well as the writing process for narrative/descriptive/expository/persuasive writing. Instruction on effective writing techniques and much more are included as well. The step-by-step approach allows students to focus on small, daily assignments, so they don’t feel overwhelmed. Level 8 includes a textbook/workbook and contains a video lesson component.
