How To Start Using Connect The Thoughts
To find out more about our Study Essentials program, please take a look at the appropriate video that explains them. It can be found at the top right after clicking LOWER SCHOOL HERE or UPPER SCHOOL HERE .
This is a FREE course for any student ages 9-adult who is considering doing Connect The Thoughts courses. Connect The Thoughts is an entirely unique approach to home study. This informative, fun and FREE course will teach you how to use our courses and techniques.
This free, introductory course for both LOWER SCHOOL STUDENTS (AGES 9-10) AND UPPER SCHOOL STUDENTS (AGES 11-ADULT) demonstrates to the student the methods used in the Connect The Thoughts courses. This fun, quick and easy to do course eases the student into new and effective learning techniques and strategies, unlike any they may have experienced before.
Why do this
free
course, the course we recommend that every student try out
before you buy a course from us? Because
Connect The Thoughts
is not like any curriculum you've ever likely used!
We want you and your student to have the opportunity to
experience our approach before you make an investment.
Thousands of students have done this free course and many
have decided to use our curricula.
We all would like to be "certain" before
making a purchase, or before subjecting our children to
study materials. This course provides certainty - one
way or the other. If your student enjoys the approach,
you'll know it pretty quickly.
The student will learn about an utterly unique and
effective method to home school by doing a course that uses
and demonstrates the techniques we use, while teaching the
student about the techniques we use!
Connect The Thoughts is designed to use tools that few if any other curriculum makes use of today. Though many of the methods used by Connect The Thoughts are hundreds and even thousands of years old, modern "educators" have abandoned them for other approaches that have proven themselves quite destructive. While doing this course, the student is introduced to educational tools that have long since demonstrated that they work, and how we use them. This course can be done in a day or two, depending on the student. It allows the student to master the use of our techniques in nine easy lessons. We even provide a test and answer guide so that the teacher/tutor and the student can experience how testing is done in Connect The Thoughts. (It is not done in the same way or with the same purpose as in most other curriculums.)
A free experience with Connect The Thoughts, without risk or obligation, ready for you to download! Start a real adventure in education today!

My name is Marie and I'm homeschooling two boys, Sam (18) and Nick (14). This is our second year of homeschool and I'm very happy with the Connect The Thoughts curriculum. We've tried other types of online and correspondence school but have found that offline works best for us.
Connect The Thoughts encourages both boys to take hold of their education and really make it their own. The last curriculum we tried was written in a very boring way and even though it ultimately would've been less work to get their diplomas with it, both Sam and Nick felt they liked Connect The Thoughts better. I'm happy that they care enough about what they're doing to pick the curriculum that's more of a challenge. That's a big step for them.
I started Nick with the Upper School curriculum and Saxon Algebra and Sam has jumped into the middle of Upper School while being dual enrolled at our local community college. Sam is into writing fiction and Nick wants to study ballistics. I'm a graphic designer working at home.
I learn a little bit more every day and I'm excited to mark the changes in my kids' attitudes toward their education.

After many trial and error processes, we have finally found the perfect curriculum for our homeschool family. Having children with varying levels of learning disabilities, this program enables everyone to work at their own speed, and really grasp what they are learning.
I could write the same review over and over for each of the courses we have used to date, and my response would be the same for each and every one of them. Connect the Thoughts has not only been an answer to my scheduling nightmare, but has taught my children to be responsible for their own work, their own actions and their own education. They finally WANT to learn!! How often do your children whine when you are done working on Ancient Egypt or Mesopotamia? Mine did... and I have on more than one occasion found my 12 yr old (ADHD/Dysphasia) reading her HISTORY book before bed...what mother could ask for a better attitude than that?
Thank you so much for such a blessing.

This is a very enjoyable and well rounded curriculum. The ideas are intelligent and the sources wide and varied. My children enjoyed knowing that tomorrow's work would be watching a video or having a field trip. The author himself was very helpful in establishing a curriculum for my older child, who has problems. I have recommended this to many people.

The "How to do CTT Courses" is the first course you should use when starting this excellent curriculum. It teaches what is expected from the student in all the CTT courses and familiarizes with them with the philosophy and procedures for completing the courses. I am homeschooling my 14 yr-old son & his 16 yr-old friend using CTT courses, while working full time as a Technical Writer out of my home office. The boys have finished the How to do CTT Course, Information Right or Wrong, and the Computer Literacy course, They are now working on the Manners Course and Upper School How to do Research Course, and will start the Upper School Science I, Upper School Pre-History, Creative Writing III, and Animation I course in November. In just a few weeks they have both gone from writing one or two word answers to the CTT exercises (I'm only doing this because you're making me do it...) to writing whole pages in response to the exercise questions. I highly recommend this course and this curriculum!

We have been homeschooling our 4 children for the past 8 years. At the recommendation of a friend we got this and the free spelling course. Now, after going over this course with our kids, they (and we as parents) are now oriented to HOW and WHY to homeschool. Needless to say, we have tried a number of other CTT courses and are so happy with this program, we are now using CTT for all of our Science, History, English and Music learning. Truly wonderful find!
