Homeschooling with Alpha Omega Publishing

Since 1977, Alpha Omega Publications has been a leader in the Christian education movement. For over 30 years, Alpha Omega Publications has been developing innovative Christian curricula and providing outstanding service and support. Founded by curriculum developers and writers, Alpha Omega Publications was born from a vision to provide homeschooling families, Christian schools, and book distributors with exceptional educational products and resources. Our vision grew and transformed into a winning formula for educational success and our customer base quickly began to grow.

In 1977, AOP started with a single-product called LIFEPAC, a comprehensive worktext curriculum, which was designed to meet the diverse needs of students, parents, and Christian schools. From this beginning, AOP expanded its curriculum brands by creating Horizons, Switched-On Schoolhouse, purchasing the Weaver Curriculum. Alpha Omega Publications' curriculum has won many awards including the prestigious Cathy Duffy's 100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum for Switched-On Schoolhouse and Horizons Math. Today, AOP not only carries the above curriculum brands, it also provides numerous resources and services. Alpha Omega Institute, a distance learning program, was launched in 1992. Today called Alpha Omega Academy, it uses AOP curriculum to teach thousands of enrolled students from all 50 states and over 30 international countries.

Since its beginning, Alpha Omega Publications has been located in Chandler, Arizona. To better serve customers and because of continued growth, AOP moved its distribution center, customer service, and technical support team to Rock Rapids, Iowa in late 2004. The move of Alpha Omega Publications corporate offices to Iowa soon followed in 2005. Today, AOP employs over 150 personnel and has locations both in Chandler, Arizona and in Rock Rapids, Iowa.

LIFEPAC is a full-color, consumable worktext homeschool curriculum with Bible-based content for grades K-12. Designed by a team of accomplished educators with years of classroom experience, LIFEPAC is based on the principle of mastery learning. Students master content in each unit worktext before progressing to the next. Ten LIFEPAC worktexts provide one full year of learning content per grade level; individual worktexts can also be used as supplemental material. In addition, you can mix and match subjects or grade level worktexts to personalize your student's curriculum content. Individual worktexts take approximately 3 to 4 weeks to complete.

Your child will love this motivating homeschool curriculum which will gives a sense of accomplishment as each worktext is completed. LIFEPAC worktexts include engaging lessons, activities, review questions, and tests. This best-selling homeschool curriculum offers five core subjects and a wide variety of electives. Scripture passages are integrated throughout worktexts to help students connect daily learning to biblical truth. Independent projects and activities help stimulate creativity and reinforce concepts. Parents can easily track progress with self-tests and teacher checkpoints.

Horizons is a brightly illustrated, engaging workbook curriculum filled with consumable lessons and hands-on activities. Designed with fast-paced lessons, Horizons uses a spiral learning method to help your student master concepts through the process of introduction, review, and reinforcement. This learning method allows students to quickly grasp difficult concepts in a colorful, motivating format. Available in grades PreK-12, Horizons has a precise curriculum structure and six core subjects, plus the preschool course.

A best-seller, Horizons is a well-known for its captivating content, appealing activities, and solid results. Your student will love encouraging workbooks with removable pages; parents will love easy-to-use teacher's guides with must-have daily planners, lesson schedules, and clear objectives. This award-winning homeschool curriculum is based on the Bible and integrates scripture and Christian living into all subjects. Perfect for hands-on learning, Horizons is a winning combination of fun, entertainment, and academic success.

The Weaver Curriculum is a unique unit-based, Bible-centered homeschool curriculum. For grades PreK-12th, this family-based curriculum uses the same daily Bible theme as a foundation and then creates lessons for each student. Your students are then studying the same main subject the same time with individual lesson assignment geared to each student's grade level. For example if you were teaching about the plagues of Egypt, your student would learn about frogs in science, Egyptian topography in geography, pharaohs in history, and so forth. Using this one-room schoolhouse type teaching, students are able to glean information from each other.

Sound like fun? It is. In this hands-on, activity-based curriculum, lessons include experiments, maps, murals, timelines, models, field trips, and more! The Weaver Curriculum is as flexible as it is fun. Parents can decide what topics to teach and what activities to do. Divided into volumes and supplemental volumes, this creative curriculum uses binders to organize student lessons by grade level. Multiple subjects are included within each volume and woven into lessons, unlike separated subject focuses like other curriculums. Subjects covered are Bible, Social Studies, Science, Geography and History, Language Arts, Health, and Art.

Switched-On Schoolhouse is a comprehensive, Bible-based curriculum that offers computer-based learning for grades 3-12. With 3-D animation, video clips, and other fascinating multimedia, Switched-On Schoolhouse is the perfect homeschool curriculum for today's generation.
