highly recommended

This book will instruct you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high school. Two veteran home educators outline the classical pattern of education?the trivium?which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind: the elementary school "grammar stage," the middle school "logic stage," and the high school "rhetoric stage." Using the trivium as your model, you'll be able to instruct your child in all levels of reading, writing, history, geography, mathematics, science, foreign languages, rhetoric, logic, art, and music, regardless of your own aptitude in those subjects.

Newly revised and updated, The Well-Trained Mind includes detailed book lists with complete ordering information; up-to-date listings of resources, publications, and Internet links; and useful contacts.

The Well Trained Mind

This book helped motivate me and give me the resources to feel confident about homeschooling my daughter. I would highly recommend it.


The Well-Trained Mind

I am a certified teacher with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. This book is an excellent reference book for teaching using the classical education method. The resources in this book are invaluable! From schedules, to internet links, to subject studies, and clear definitions; this book has it all. I borrowed it from the library at first. Then when I read it, I decided to buy it so I can refer back to it. I found the "How to do it" sections fantastic (especially the advice given on working with babies and toddlers). It's organized well and in a easy to read format.

A Great Curriculum But don't Leave Out the Social and Emotional

This is a wonderful homeschooling guide with a strong curriculum. Combine this with another book Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying so children are empowered with social and emotional skills along with a well-trained intellect. Has fabulous lessons and strategies to build character, self-esteem, communicative skills....Both books will produce well-rounded happy children.


homeschooling resource

It's quite a book to undertake, but I'm tackling it in bits and pieces. It has been a useful tool in homeschooling my child.


Look for the 1st Edition

This is an excellent guide that EVERY homeschooler should have. HOWEVER, the 1999 edition has better resource lists in it, because it was written before Bauer and Wise began publishing their own Language and History books. I checked out the 1st edition from the library and LOVED it. I was a bit disappointed to get the 2nd edition (2004). I don't like the fact that they now recommend their own books, and don't recommend much else that would compete with their own series in these subject areas.
