Apologia Science Curriculum

<<>>

From the Apologia Science Curriculum Web site:

Since 1996, Apologia Educational Ministries has supported homeschooling families by publishing excellent, easy-to-use creation-based science curriculum.

In recent history, we have expanded our efforts to include new books and curriculum through Apologia Press, on line courses through Apologia Academy, networking and encouragement through Apologia World, and ministering to moms at Apologia Live conferences.

Jeannie Fulbright, the author of the elementry science books says:

"Apologia handles it’s Biblical mandate. Though there may be other Christian-oriented science courses out there, none handle Creation and evidence for the Bible like Apologia does.

Apologia courses actually impart a Biblical Worldview to the students by making the students think through and answer tough questions about the truths of Creation and the Bible"
