Building from the simple to the complex, with frequent review and application within each grade and from grade to grade.

• This means you prevent learning gaps from the first day you teach with Abeka until the last.
• The work you put in now pays off later (like when thoroughly teaching and reviewing multiplication tables saves your child from dreading math).
• Since repetition is the key to learning, concepts are truly learned–and remembered.
• Because concepts aren’t presented just one time, or in one way, it means you’re giving your child multiple opportunities to be successful.
• Rough days are less stressful when you realize you don’t have just ONE CHANCE to make sure your child understands a concept.

When faced with the 3 major learning styles (auditory, visual, and kinesthetic, or hearing, seeing, and doing), learning preferences are how you prefer, if given a choice, to learn something. Instead of favoring 1 and neglecting the others, we incorporate all 3.

• By using all 3, you’re teaching your children to be adaptable, resilient learners.
• You’re preparing them for college and real life.
• You’re not putting your children—or yourself—in a learning-preferences box.
• You don’t have to feel guilty because you don’t use a different curriculum for each child.
• You’re doing what the best teachers do to help their students learn.

Pulling in concepts from 1 subject into several others to reinforce concepts and tie learning together

• Learning comes to life more with cross-subject integration (like when students learn about Abraham Lincoln in history, read about him in language arts, do a project with pennies and top hats in art, and write a story using what they know).
• Children feel a sense of familiarity and accomplishment when they see something they already learned (like spelling words) “pop up” in another subject (like science or literature).
• It engages curiosity and emphasizes the big picture.

The times below are based on the typical time it takes for many families. Since every family is unique, they won’t be true for everyone.

Times can vary based on how many children you have, whether you choose to school year-round, etc.

Each subject will take roughly 40 minutes for the “average” child, plus homework time.

That means…

• In kindergarten, you can be done in about an hour and a half.
• In elementary, you can be done by lunch.
• In high school, you can be done by 2:00 or 3:00.

Teaching Time

How much of that time is independent work, and how much is teaching time?

Typically, there’s 10—15 minutes teaching time per subject. (This may increase for math and higher grades.)

The lessons for each grade include Bible, extra enrichment activities, and optional subjects like art. The times below don’t include homework time.

• Kindergarten takes around 2 ⅓–3 hours.
• Elementary takes about 3–3 ⅓ hours.
• In junior high and high school, each class takes 45–50 minutes.

If you’re using Abeka Academy video homeschooling for full grades, it’s very simple.

• You’ll have video manuals to keep you and your kids on track. Quiz and test keys for grading will be included free.
• Since you’re not the only teacher, you’ll check work and keep your kids accountable.
• You can choose DVD or streaming format (whatever works better for you).

What if you want to do the teaching yourself?

It takes a little bit of planning ahead, but you can do it!

• Since part of each lesson is teaching time and part is independent work, you can teach one child while the others work independently.
• You could also consider teaching some of your children yourself and using video lessons for others. Or you could teach some subjects yourself and use video lessons for others.
