What an amazing young man Arami is! What a fantastic role model he is for all his younger siblings. Wish I was home schooled with this curriculum when I was growing up many moons ago. Great job parents! ❤
Oh Mama. What a sweet, funny and mature young man you have there. Thank you both for sharing this info. I don’t need it but I listened to every minute because Arami is so respectful and it does give us hope for the future. 🙌🏻
I agree! My youngest has long been done with school, but I watched the entire thing. Arami was just an encouragement to me. What a great example he must be to his younger siblings. This brought back so many happy homeschool memories. Thank you.
Your son is absolutely amazing. So articulate, handsome and polite. It must make your homeschooling so much easier. Are all the boys interested as he is had you homeschooled before?
Your son is the most positive student I've ever come across...and I've been teaching for 18 years already! What a great guy who cares about learning and does his best with his work...💯🌟
You have done an amazing job with Arami! He is bright, intelligent and very well spoken for a 15 year old young man. I can tell he is passionate about learning and he will be successful no matter what he pursues in life. Thank you for a walk thru of this homeschool program, I wish I had this program 25 years ago! Congratulations Momma, Dad and Arami!
Wow such a kind young man! So sweet to his mom too. Your daddy is proud of you Arami I know it!!! Good job mama. Would be interesting to see a younger grade day as well!🙏
Also I am ahomeschool mama as well, not as many students as you, only 2 hehe but it’s such a blessing to teach these kiddos amazing books and work ethic as well. I always feel like a mama hen that has her chikies under her wings but isn’t the world a scary place for our dear little souls?
I’m so happy for you all! Homeschooling my children in the 80”seas sooo much work preparation! I was constantly overwhelmed. Your children are being educated not indoctrinated!
Wow great program and what a nice young man you are raising! A smart and mature and caring man! This is exactly how all children should be learning- it looks like he takes responsibility and cares about his schoolwork. Great job Aramy you should be proud and I’m sure he will be very successful in whatever he chooses to do as an adult
That program looks amazing! Would love to see what this program looks like for the younger kids too since they might be less likely to do things on their own! 😊 So glad God has blessed you all with a platform to share your faith and God’s faithfulness in every aspect of life! You all are so encouraging to watch!
Loved this video, enjoyed meeting Arami up close and seeing your home school set up. I agree with all the complimentary comment expressed in the comments. Great job! Love this family! ❤🙏
I really enjoyed this. I homeschooled my son after I took him out of Christian school many yrs ago in 3rd grade and loved it, but sure wish they had this incredible looking homeschool platform! Such a blessing for sure especially with having so many kids. Arami did an awesome job! ❤❤❤
I used BJU Press videos from 6th grade through 12th grade!! This brings back so many memories, but things sure have changed in 10+ years (except for the cover of the Spanish 1 books). 😂 I’ll always be thankful for homeschool.
Oh my goodness so many sons! Such a blessing. You have a beautiful family. I hope I am able to homeschool my future children, public school is scary. I was the most well behaved students and the teachers still found a way to make me feel small. I don’t want that for my future children.
This video was so helpful! Found your channel a couple of weeks ago when searching BJU Press videos and have enjoyed watching the channel. Your son is so well spoken and he did a great job explaining his day. Loved hearing the baby in the video 😊
What a precious gift from God Arami is to this family. How blessed is he and are you as parents and siblings. Such a responsible, astute, and respectful young man before God and mankind. I pray he continues to shine that bright light of Gods love out through his life into this lost world. Be strong and faithful Arami as you learn to walk daily in God's will and purpose for your life. Selah and Amen.
I genuinely appreciate and admire the clear dedication and organizational skills necessary to master educating your many children at home! Equally true, I'm hoping that sustainability (as in carbon footprints, finite natural resources, etc.), are likewise included in the curriculum.
We love BJU. The hub is amazing and a huge upgrade from their old system. I enjoy that they provide more than enough needed and you can go into the parent account and skip assignments and the kids never know and it allows you to adapt it to your child and their needs. You can add outside classes to the calendar and track those grades. It's been really great for us. Every year I give my kids a choice to try something else and they choose BJU.
Thank you for sharing, Arami!!! The Hub looks like a great tool compared to the old CD rom curriculum from BJU Press. Thanks for the update!! Great job, mama!! Thankful to have your family in our community!!! Blessings to you all!
What an amazing young man you have there! He is so well spoken, respectful and a wonderful role model for all his brothers (and baby sister). Thanks for sharing your school day with us!
Arami is so articulate, intelligent, and HANDSOME! I was really impressed with your homeschool curriculum( I believe I saw some teachings of Charles SPURGEON on the screen...my favorite!) The BJU Press looks like the way to go. Good job, boys(and Mom)! This was very inspirational!
What a well spoken handsome son you have-I love that he is taking Bible . I am going to show this to my daughter her almost 13 year old daughter is struggling at her new school-not to mention how worldly it is- we are praying a school for all our kids will develop in our rural area that puts Jesus first but still gives exemplary life skills through education 💞
I’m sorry to hear that your daughter is struggling at school. I pray that she can stand firm, and that the Lord would provide the perfect opportunity for her.
It is important to know this isn’t the only way to homeschool. I have homeschooled for 20 years and in my experience in changes year to year. We didn’t thrive with much computer until they were older. My go to is The Good and the Beautiful. I will suggest that all day long. The best thing to remember is they You are the expert in Your home!
I dare say that Arami would "love" all these subjects as much if he was in a worldly school as opposed to being taught in this Godly home! Keep up the great work !
We used BJU a few years ago when we home schooled our kids. We borrowed the teaching videos as that was an option through them and nothing was online for that. It was not in our budget to do the online version. I like that better though. It looks very easy to follow! Thanks for sharing. That's great that you guys can do this curriculum with your kids! :) It truly is a game changer. Even with just the videos, it was so helpful to me as a mom of 4 to not have to do all the teaching, but have them pop in a video to learn their lessons.
I think it’s great that you found a homeschooling curriculum and system that is working well for you, that’s a big thing to do with this many kids! Just a suggestion, it might be a good idea for you to blur out your son’s last name on his laptop in videos, you never know what crazy is out there.
I really enjoyed listen to your well spoken son! The curriculum is unbelievably well set out. Pt L for technology I did home schooling before computers came on the scene. It was another world May the Lord give mama strength for every day for her busy life! 😂
Can you schedule 6 days of school per week? How does the program handle errors on tests/quizzes? Does the program go for scores or mastery? Looks very well organuzed! If Arami is interested in animals or soils, i would suggest he look into regenerative agriculture. Dirt to Soil by Gabe Brown would be a good overview. Joel Salatin books would be more specific about species or building portable structures.
Arami seems such a well spoken and polite young man. Credit to you for raising him well! I would be interested to see what the program looks like for a younger child as we are currently homeschooling our eldest who is almost 7.
I have a 11 year old and a 17-year-old and have been struggling to do this homeschool thing and this program sound like it might be great for all of us to help keep everyone on track I'm going to check it out hopefully it's not expensive I was looking at your older videos and there's nothing else on homeschool so I would love to see more homeschool I just subscribed.
I hope you are able to find the curriculum that works best for y’all! I will definitely be doing more homeschool videos soon. Thanks so much for tuning in.
Arami is such a delightful young man! I'm so glad to have found your channel today! I've been catching up, watching all your videos from oldest to latest. What an amazing story you have! You asked a few times for viewers to tell you what else we want to know. I would very much like to know how you came to the decision to homeschool. I especially would like to hear if Caleb was on board from the start. This is top on my mind because just yesterday, I saw two different moms on our local homeschool group's FB page ask how to get their husbands on board because that's all that's keeping them from pulling their kids out of school. My husband and I decided on homeschooling even before we had our only child. That decision was even more affirmed when she was born with a life-threatening congenital defect. For a time there, we weren't sure how long we're going to have her. By God's mercy and grace, she's completely healthy now, but that experience further strengthened our resolve to homeschool. We just aren't willing to let her spend most of her waking hours away from us. This is only one of seemingly countless reasons why we homeschool, of course. I look forward to hearing yours. TIA! 🙂
I’ll let Tamara answer most of this but I can speak to the homeschool question. I was homeschooled, and was homeschooling my boys when Tamara and I met. We talked about it as one of our most important things while dating. We are glad you are here! - Caleb
We use ACE paces, my kids like that it is self led ( for the most part, my lower elementary grades still gets some hand on Help😊) my older kids love that they don't have to wait on me for the next thing.. I love that it allows me to be more of Momma than just the Teacher. Id love to do video school for them all but, this is much more affordable :)
That looks like a wonderful homeschool system. Lots of books. You mentioned choice of modules. Do they have say Grammar and Writing modules without the religious background slant? Also interested to know of the cost compared to other homeschool systems that you may have used or looked at? Maybe you get a bulk discount, lol.
Im a retired teacher whose niece and nephew were homeschooled while their mom was a traveling nurse. I was skeptical until they were enrolled in a regular school once they settled down. They were both very advanced for their grade level. The program you are using is fantastic!
Thanks so much for sharing this. Is there any chance you might consider sharing what a day looks like with a younger student using BJU Press? We homeschool as well and have a range of ages (not as many as you!) and I think organizing my time and the structure of the school day to meet all needs is one of the biggest challenges I’ve had. Would love if you could share how this is meeting the needs of the littler kids as well as some of those in between ages. Thanks again!
Yes! I’ll work on a video highlighting the little ones next! Totalllllly understand the struggle of organizing time with lots of kids. I’m with you, mama! The Hub has been a game-changer for me. Glad you’re here!!
Looks amazing! Do you and Dad pull small groups to do activities, read aloud, phonics games or art, wood shop, etc? Your son is so well spoken and positive. What a gem! I wonder if there are stands for the iPad so their necks are not bent?
Sounds like it works well for your family. Wondering if you supplement with other types of learning besides the videos, especially for the younger students? Math manipulatives and games, science projects, reading books?
We don’t supplement with any other curriculum. That’s one thing I love about BJU Press Homeschool - it truly has all we need. The curriculum incorporates manipulative, activities, and reading books, and those all come with it. It’s plug and play.
That depends on the age (and the kid). The older boys can easily spend 7-8 hours a day on their work, but sometimes less. My youngest, who is five, can spend 3-4 hours a day. Their attitudes and work ethic also play a large role. 😉
We have been using ABeka going on 19 years ❤ We start the on line streaming in 8th grade. We have 3 graduated and 3 more to go 😊 Bob Jones looks very similar to what ABeka has to offer on line as well. Have a wonderful school year!!
Time spent definitely depends on the grade (and the kid). Some days, our oldest spends 7-8 hours, and some days less. Our youngest spends probably 3-4 hours a day on most days. But it also depends on their motivation and the level at which they are focusing. 😉
What if the student doesn't understand a concept...can the student ask real-time questions of the teacher? Or is it the parent who must answer? Your son has a great sense of humor! And seems very grounded in who he is. I hope we get to see more of him in future videos. ❤
There is no real-time teacher, as the videos are pre-recorded. That’s where I come in! Thankfully, the teacher’s guides are very detailed, so if someone gets stuck and I can’t help them from my own brain, I can easily open up the teacher’s guide and figure out how to help them.
History and Spanish lesson in one, what and why is the archery on the cover of the Spanish book? lol. Except for the biblical POV, sounds good. Some subjects are, let's say, difficult for that view, I was thinking of Geology...
What a well spoken and eloquent young man Arami is! He is a credit to you, as I'm sure all your children are.
Indeed!
@Vonnie55
Not only do I agree 100% with your comment , I also affirm 55 was the most auspicious year !!!!
Couldn’t agree more! What a lovely young man.
What an amazing young man Arami is! What a fantastic role model he is for all his younger siblings. Wish I was home schooled with this curriculum when I was growing up many moons ago. Great job parents! ❤

I admire your family. Blessings to you and your family. Your family is an inspiration to many.
Boy O Boy is Arami a bright young man, and so handsome. I hope you are very proud of him. ❤️
Wonderful look at Arami's homeschooling program. Thank you
Wow, fantastic! Your son seems like an amazing guy. I’m sure all the boys are getting a wonderful education! Definitely sparked my interest for BJU!😊
What a wonderful young man he seems to be. And wow, so organized!!! Looks like a great learning environment!!
Thank you so much!!
Arami is amazing Mom!! You are doing a wonderful job. Blessings, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. 💛
Thank you for sharing. That is so cool. I hope you will show what homeschooling looks like for everyone.
Arami is an amazing student. He seems focused and eager to learn. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video and thank God for the gift of Arami both to you and your family and the rest of society . God bless you all.

Such amazing, encouraging words!! Thank you so much!! I will read this to him. 🫶
Bju is a great press for home schooling!
I genuinely appreciate and admire the clear dedication and organizational skills necessary to master educating your many children at home! Equally true, I'm hoping that sustainability (as in carbon footprints, finite natural resources, etc.), are likewise included in the curriculum.
Studying the Bible covers that type subject.

Yes and amen!!! Thank you so much for being here. ☺️
Thanks for sharing a day in the life of a home schooled HS student. I wish this curriculum plan would've been available 20 years back for my son.
Totally. Caleb said the same thing, as he was homeschooled as a child. It’s definitely a great curriculum.
Wonderful looking curriculum! It looks expensive!
You have a very smart son. Seems so well mannered.
What a polite well spoken young man!!
Thank you very much.
Looks amazing. Fun fact, I went to Bible college with the first teacher from BJU you showed on your video!
What!! No way!! That’s pretty fun.
Can you schedule 6 days of school per week? How does the program handle errors on tests/quizzes? Does the program go for scores or mastery? Looks very well organuzed! If Arami is interested in animals or soils, i would suggest he look into regenerative agriculture. Dirt to Soil by Gabe Brown would be a good overview. Joel Salatin books would be more specific about species or building portable structures.
Arami did a great job show casing his curriculum! Very impressive!
Thank you so much!!
Very organized…😊
What a delightful young man! Thanks for sharing this. Blessings
Thank you so much! Blessings to you, too.

I am interested to know more about Arami’s name as it is not one I am familiar with. I understand that was his father’s name as well.

@@DoinitwithaDozen Thank you! I am just now watching the last Q&A where you mentioned having been homeschooled.
Very impressed with your home schooling and your son Arami😊l
Thank you so much.
We use ACE paces, my kids like that it is self led ( for the most part, my lower elementary grades still gets some hand on Help😊) my older kids love that they don't have to wait on me for the next thing.. I love that it allows me to be more of Momma than just the Teacher. Id love to do video school for them all but, this is much more affordable :)
Totally understand. I’m with you - it’s been a new experience, and kind of nice, to be mama and help them when they’re struggling.
I can see that this curriculum hub is a big help for you.
That looks like a wonderful homeschool system. Lots of books. You mentioned choice of modules. Do they have say Grammar and Writing modules without the religious background slant? Also interested to know of the cost compared to other homeschool systems that you may have used or looked at? Maybe you get a bulk discount, lol.

I thought the same thing about the level of the iPad
How do you incorporate extra curricular activities? Like music, sports, etc?
Very informative video
Oh I wish I had used this with my boys when we homeschooled. ❤😊
Sounds like it works well for your family.
Wondering if you supplement with other types of learning besides the videos, especially for the younger students? Math manipulatives and games, science projects, reading books?

What is Arami wanting to do once he finishes school? He mentioned he wanted to do marine biology but he has many interests.
You guys are awesome!!! How long does school take each day?
My question as well.
That depends on the age (and the kid). The older boys can easily spend 7-8 hours a day on their work, but sometimes less. My youngest, who is five, can spend 3-4 hours a day. Their attitudes and work ethic also play a large role. 😉
We have been using ABeka going on 19 years ❤ We start the on line streaming in 8th grade. We have 3 graduated and 3 more to go 😊
Bob Jones looks very similar to what ABeka has to offer on line as well.
Have a wonderful school year!!
Wow, that’s amazing!! Caleb was homeschooled using Abeka as well, and loves it. For him, The Hub is the biggest difference and game-changer.
Excellent review!!! Thanks for sharing. How long is the school day? Is there lunch and outdoor/sports time each day?
How long does it take the kids to do their schoolwork
Anywhere between 4-6 hours. Sometimes 7 on tougher days.
- Caleb
How many hours a day do the kids spend in homeschool
Do you spend extra time does each child spend the same amount of time per day on the school work
Time spent definitely depends on the grade (and the kid). Some days, our oldest spends 7-8 hours, and some days less. Our youngest spends probably 3-4 hours a day on most days. But it also depends on their motivation and the level at which they are focusing. 😉
What grade level start? I can't see online
How much does this cost ?
According to the website, about $1,000 per kit, give or take depending on the format. They have a payment plan.
Is there a church behind this program?
What if the student doesn't understand a concept...can the student ask real-time questions of the teacher? Or is it the parent who must answer?
Your son has a great sense of humor! And seems very grounded in who he is. I hope we get to see more of him in future videos. ❤
There is no real-time teacher, as the videos are pre-recorded. That’s where I come in! Thankfully, the teacher’s guides are very detailed, so if someone gets stuck and I can’t help them from my own brain, I can easily open up the teacher’s guide and figure out how to help them.
I take my hat of for you 2 parents.
Thanks and thanks for being here.
History and Spanish lesson in one, what and why is the archery on the cover of the Spanish book? lol. Except for the biblical POV, sounds good. Some subjects are, let's say, difficult for that view, I was thinking of Geology...
Do y'all color code the kids school notebooks etc?
The paper companies don’t make enough colors but yes, that’s the idea. 🤣
