What homeschoolers say about Rod & Staff Publishing
Rod & Staff Publishing is appreciated by homeschoolers for its traditional, Christian-oriented approach with strong phonics and classical education elements. Many families find the materials straightforward, rigorous, and well-structured, especially in subjects like math and language arts. However, some note that the presentation can feel outdated and less engaging compared to more modern curricula, and the heavy emphasis on religious content may not suit all families. Overall, it is valued for its affordability and thoroughness but may require more parental involvement to keep students motivated.
