With over 20,000 students worldwide, Connect the Thoughts has been helping students think for themselves for over 10 years.
“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.”
“I have been going to private schools all my life. About one year ago, before summer, I was four grades behind. I knew I wasn’t a moron. I just needed something that I wasn’t getting—a real education. I was told I could catch up if I really tried. I knew this to be true, but I had no intention to do so because I felt that I wasn’t learning anything. I had felt this was for about three years, yet I continued school because I “had to”. I wanted an education, sure, but I wasn’t getting one. So I stopped going to school the last couple of weeks, and I felt completely apathetic about education. My future looked scarce, for any potential success.
During the summer I was hanging out with the wrong people. I felt these were the only people whom I could have any reality with.
For a long time my parents had been telling me that if I go to school and study hard, I’d have a chance for a successful future. My parents couldn’t have been more right but what they didn’t get is that I wanted an education and I did try, but I was set up to fail. My parents thought I wasn’t trying. It’s true I wasn’t, but that’s because I wasn’t learning anything!
Summer ended and the new school year started. I knew I needed an education, but I figured I’d just do my G.E.D. and work for my dad. I felt that this life time, I wasn’t going to get a real education.
One day, my mom told me that there was a curriculum that was amazing, and that it was a real answer to an education. She said I had to do it. I thought Ok, this is the last time I’m going to make any attempt for an education. If I don’t like this curriculum, I give up.
My dad and I went to check it out, and I thought it looked relatively simple. I didn’t really care whether or not I did it. I just wanted my parents off my back.
After a couple of weeks I thought it was OK. But the more I did it, the more it made me want to study, and the more I felt I had a future, a good one. One thing I realized is that the more esoteric you make a subject, the more you find students unwilling to study it. And that’s just the opposite of the Connect The Thoughts Curriculum. It’s easy, and you learn a lot. So subjects don’t have to be complex for people to understand them.
I was actually winning in school. Wow! The last time I remember doing that was the 1st grade!
I was now confident in myself and I felt I could do anything if I really wanted to. When I would hang out with my old friends I could barely find any reality. I think that knowing what I now know helped save my life.
I am now on the Pre-History Course, and I love it. (Editor’s Note- He’s since completed that course with an “A” average on his tests, and is now moving rapidly through Early Civilizations.) I have never been so enthusiastic about learning! I think if anybody wants a real education, they should do this curriculum.
