Has anyone used the Trail Guide to Learning series by Geography Matters? It looks like there are 3 levels so far.
Paths of Exploration
Paths of Progress
Paths of Settlement
It's supposed to be based on principles of Dr. Ruth Beechick and Charlotte Mason. I would love to hear feedback pros and cons.
Thanks,

Hi Melissa,
I got to check this out at a curriculum fair. I love the looks of it..and almost thought of doing it..but I love to plan my own stuff! But I will say that it does follow those philosophies. And bascically you just need to add math and Bible. It looks very complete as well as interesting.
As a matter of fact, I have their catalog in front of me now! I choose to purcahse their timelines. They had a special at the curriculum fair. I also bought one of the Adventures of Munford books..Lewis and Clark.
I think anyone who likes this philosophy who would like a curriculum layed out for them..this would be the one I would choose. As you know copywork, dictation, read-alouds, narration, writing, word study, geography, history, science are all included! Of course you would have to add picture study and music study.
The only reason I would not get it is because I like to plan my own...other than that I really like the looks of it!
HTH! :)
Thanks 2flowerboys! I too LOVE to plan and layout my own thing. This is definitely one of the drawbacks, but I'm already scheming about how I could add various books in the mix. Then wondering if it would be overkill, so should I just make up my own thing and be done?!?!?! Though having something laid out is also appealing at this point, since we have a baby due mid June. Decisions....decisions!
Does anyone else have experience with this curricula?
Thanks,
Melissa
