I’m in North Carolina too! Thanks so much I’ve been searching all over for an actual flip through of the curriculum. I currently do abeka and am considering switching to bju

Glad to help! I think Abeka and BJU have some similarities, but BJU has been more "fun". Not as much repetitive, boring work as Abeka.

@@brookelynette3 that’s what I’m looking for I notice in 4th grade it gets boring and less colorful and it’s just mainly memorization. I don’t like that so I’ve been looking to switch to something that stays more kid friendly

@@ashleydewell I've been using the 3rd and 4th grade Abeka social studies books, and these BJU books look to be a lot better.

As an Abeka user, here's my two cents. My son doesn't get much history education in school, so I've been supplementing with the ABeka 3rd and 4th grade history texts. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the BJU text is a better, more detailed book. In the ABeka third grade book, the Revolutionary War gets the equivalent of two paragraphs. The depth of coverage is this: English army, rich. American army, poor. The Americans needed help. France helped. The Americans won the war. Meanwhile, Louisa May Alcott gets seven pages, including a story about the time she slipped and fell into the frog pond as a girl. (?!) The 4th grade text is a bit better, but not dramatically so. I think I'll be trying the BJU for my next social studies curriculum purchase.

Thanks for the insight. We've moved on from BJU as my girls have gotten older, but I'm not ruling out using it again when my son is in elementary.

Absolutely! I'm thinking mid to late September will be a good time for us to do some curriculum reviews.
