Your Monthly Journal
Where Next Month Lives


YOUR MONTHLY JOURNAL is unlike anything else that we offer.  It is a course that is done during each day of the month for the entire month. We offer you a free sample of the journal as a demonstration of our curricula and its methods.

Click Here to Download a FREE SAMPLE Journal!

Each day starts with a private journal entry written by the student in response to a simple question about the student's life.  (These questions get changed every four weeks.)  The questions are meant to make the student think about his life and take increasing responsibility for it.  The student's answers are considered private, so that he is safe to write whatever he likes.  This is also true of the student’s responses to subjects that are studied that week.

Each day, the student learns about events in the world happening on that day, or that happened

on that day in history.  These events could be related to history, the arts, sports, politics, religion... whatever is happening that week! Click Here to Download a FREE SAMPLE Journal!

The lives and deaths of important people are discovered in conjunction to the calendar.  The student's impressions of these events and people are explored as the student increasingly "connects up" to and understands the world and how he feels about it.

You can download your FREE sample of the new YOUR MONTHLY JOURNAL , available on this page.
