YAY! I love GR! I just posted my video on the three units we have chosen for this semester. We have so much fun doing these units!

I use Gather round twice a week to replace the co op we stopped attending, which was twice a week. I don’t have to worry about other subjects like science or geography the other three days of the week since it’s all incorporated in the unit studies. The other three days we just focus on their core curriculums for Math and Language Arts. It’s been such a big help and blessing this school year.

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking at GR for a while.

We’ve been using Gather Round for years and have done over a dozen units. We’ve also tried more subject-oriented homeschools (like Mi Academy, Easy Peasy Homeschool, and a few others).
It’s important to keep in mind Gather Round is primarily topic-based, not subject-based. If you’re looking for a traditional all-around school with time spent in math, grammar, social studies, geography, science, history, and your usual school subjects, this is not the curriculum you’re looking for.
But if your kid is really interested in oceans or ancient history or careers or Africa, this is a great fit. You will spend 4-5 weeks on that topic and have assignments in various subjects each day.
Keep in mind you WILL need to supplement math. GRHS is beta testing math books but it is not standard with the units.
It’s a good fit for people that want flexibility and don’t want a rigid structure. It’s also good for kids that want to dive deep into specific topics, not school subjects.
It’s not good for parents that want/need a structured curriculum or want their kids to self-start. Each lesson has a “lecture” portion prior to kids doing their assignments.
Typical day for my 2nd grader (early elementary) is usually 1-1.5 hours, plus math (0.5 hours)
Typical day for my middle schoolers is about 2.5-3 hours, plus math (0.5-1 hours).

Can you review Gentle and Classical? I feel like it was like Gather Round but more academically sound

Okay is Gather Round written by a Mormon writer?
