Pathway
Publishers will
be a good choice for your families who like using Alpha Omega Life Pacs and/or Switched On
Schoolhouse. There are some families who have been purchasing these
items out of pocket because neither of these items may be purchased with
instructional funds. Please remember that Pathway
Publishers have almost identical booklets and CDs that have been edited to
be used in the public school system. They
were given rights by Alpha Omega to take out scripture references and put in
character references instead. The following link will take you directly
to the "About Us" section of the Pathway Publishers web page.

Rainbow
Resourcehas been rated as one of our
favorite vendors for many years. Their catalog is at least an inch thick
with a wide variety of items. The descriptions are detailed, lengthy and
helpful. Please be sure to use the
catalog and web page to help you be very careful with your orders. They
carry many items that may not be purchased with instructional funds.

As we
made the transition to sell new products, we maintained our philosophy of
offering quality educational materials at discount prices.
We
trust that you will find our catalog informative and helpful. While some
suppliers offer catalogs that are more colorful, we have concentrated on
providing informative descriptions of the products that we offer so that you
may make an intelligent decision about which ones will work best for you. A
main reason for starting this business was to share information that we had
gleaned from our years (now numbering 16) of homeschooling.
In that time, our family members have used, evaluated, or read about thousands
of products. Our 2002-2003 catalog contains over 17,000 items which we believe
are the best available.
