1. Make sure to do BJU daily
2. Combining practice test and test days into 1 day
3. Work ahead as often as you can
4. Work when at home on break

I’m so glad you mentioned doing the chapter review and tests on the same day. That made such a difference for us this past school year also!

BJU is incredible! I was hesitating to do Abeka Academy because I wasn’t crazy about the video lessons being filmed in a classroom and I myself was bored previewing them. I prayed about it and God led me to BJU through YouTube! Absolutely in love with BJU, the convenience and the level of education, is exactly what I wanted and imagined it would be.
If you’re hesitant to try this curriculum, don’t be, I doubt anyone would regret such an amazing curriculum!!!
Just be sure to get organized before starting the year so everything runs smooth❤

We switched to BJU English (just the work text) this year and about Christmas time I realized we were going to finish so much later than I was anticipating. We also doubled up on lessons. For us it worked well to double up during grammar units and then slow down and do the lessons as assigned for writing units. It’s worked really well for us this year and everyone in our house is enjoying BJU! I could see though, how doubling up with other subjects wouldn’t be feasible. The grammar is reviewed and applied so often in BJU that it’s been successful for us. Great tips for new BJU families - I wish I had seen this video last summer, it will benefit many!

Great tips! 😊
I used BJU for English, Reading, Science and History from 1-3 Grade. Definitely double lessons when those are practices and tests, or Practice and reviews. Lessons that are easy we double. I do a combination of Parent Led and DLO. I also eliminate work if is not necessary extra practice or reinforcement. They offered Instructional Aids, extra Review and Write It. Make it work for your needs and family. It’s double and yes, you can pick and choose. I don’t use every rubric and I don’t do every project or experiment. This is a vast, rigorous curriculum. I love it because is solid.

My high schooler LOVES BJU. He is different in how he does his. He does 5 days of work on 1 subject per day. So, Monday-Math, Tuesday is History only, etc. This has helped him. He struggled with stop-go-stop-go in subjects. I say that but this year I am making him go back to a regular format.I recommend that do what works for you kid and this worked really well because he would do the whole chapter in one day including tests and quizzes. When he did the regular format, we encouraged him to work ahead if he could because of unexpected sickness or life interruptions.

First time using BJU this up coming year. Just starting out with Heritage Studies 4! Decided to get the student book 1-3 for my daughter to read incase of gaps and because she loves to read for fun so win win!

[msaw]

it blows my mind that homeschool curriculum does 180 lessons when public schools field trip days count as school days and days where the teacher calls in sick that morning about you set in the class room just reading a book counts as a day in school.

[courtneyfisher]

I really like the idea of combining the review day with the chapter test day. I am going to implement that for my high schoolers this coming fall.

[landerosee]

Oh my goodness, thank you for sharing. I have been considering BJU, but I was wondering how it would work out because of so many lessons . We love our breaks😁.

[christinetessier]

I’m looking to switch to BJU for next year, 8th grade, for the Science, History and probably Spanish. My son is Autistic, ADHD, Dysgraphia so we need online options. We’ll have to figure out the days and work-arounds for when he has his weekly speech and Ot appointments. God will show us the way 🙏🏻

[lyz]

Thanks for this video. We r trying BJU for the first time this upcoming school year for 8th grade- earth science and possibly Spanish.

[cassandracriswell]

Thank you for this! I am starting BJU science for my 8th grader this coming school year because of you so this is super helpful! 💜😊💜

[mymalayaper]

For grades 1-3 Science and History are 90 lessons each. You can also get DLO for both at one price.

[angelicaclaudio-cortes]

We're using BJU for social studies this year, but we're only planning to do lessons for 2 days a week.

[natalieamberger]

thank you Soooo much you answered ALL the questions I am stressing about and needed answers on.

[amandasandoval]

Thank you for this video! This is our first year using something from bju.

[sheilasepulveda]

I believe you mentioned that you tried Apologia Science but you preferred BJU. Can you share what you liked better about BJU?

[KrystalDuke-teoj]

I’m not using bju but what I’m using is 180 days so I enjoyed these tips!

[MrsDoubleDW]

These are great tips! Thank you!! I have a ways to go before I hit high school years but I feel like some of these could apply to any 180 day curriculum when the time comes. Although, BJU looks very intriguing 🤓
