A few other points worth mentioning… When you purchase a membership/cycle, you have access to the cycle for life, unlike the CMEC or the Alveary, for example, where you only have access for one year. Also you can jump into AGF with whichever cycle you please. With the others, you only have access to the cycle they are offering that year (it may be a good plan to choose the same history period with AGF as what the others are offering in case AGF isn’t a good fit and you want to jump over to another). Also, you have access to both the US and Canadian curriculum. It’s not just supplementary Canadian books, it’s a whole meal! All the history books center around Canadian history. They do introduce a British history stream starting in grade 4, and an Ancients history stream in grade 5. The younger form is primarily picture books, and the older forms have several more subjects added to their plate. AGF is so flexible in that you can swap books easily, bump a student up or down a down in a subject by subject basis, and can combine subjects as well (my form 1 and 2 do Geography together). Also, Julie Ross (the creator), has so many helpful videos in the online membership to help you as the teacher and CM educator. And the FB group is very helpful. Overall it is such a rich and varied curriculum. Love it!!

Oh that's so good to hear. It does get good reviews 👍
Bec, you are so good at this! Great overview!!!
Haha. Thank you 😊
Is this the curriculum you use?
No. This is just a curriculum review. I have a disability which means I can't sit by my kids and teach them like the CM method requires.
