very interesting and i live like 30min from them. We are just starting homeschooling this year and I am researching the best options for us.

Looks pretty interesting... can't wait to hear reviews if there are any!

It still seems as if no one has used GVS...but I wanted to mention on the thread that they're switching from the first edition to the second edition. If you order the second edition in July you get a $20 early bird discount. There's a note at the top of their K-8 curriculum page that mentions what's different between the two editions.

lol...sorry, me again. I s/w a mom that has used the curriculum for about two months. She said that she likes it, but that it took a little bit of getting used to. She classified it mostly as a big book list with short descriptions of each book. They do have suggestions for lessons/activities, but it's not step-by-step or specific lesson plans as it were. No math curriculum included, but they do give suggestions on what you could buy.

I do have another contact that GVS gave me and I would be willing to send the family an email if anyone else is interested. I think I got the information I needed from the one contact I have. HTH!

Has anyone used this yet?

poking around more on other forums I got some info. although it doesn't seem like many people have used it.. It does seem to basically be a book list with a handful of activities... Which is sad because it really looked so promising. for the $$ it doesn't seem like much.
