The Master Key

|
"In the evenings, around 8:00 p.m., we gather in the
children's room to read. The stories fill our minds and hearts, but equally
wonderful are the discussions we have with each other. Sometimes I will read
just two sentences and we will discuss them for (along with a dozen or so
interesting tangents) spontaneously for the next twenty minutes. These
discussions have been some of the most sublime hours our family has spent
together."
-Diann Jeppson,
"If I had to pick the Key of Keys, the Keystone of the
entire TJEd model, it would be this: reading and discussing great books as a
family.
"Andrew Pudewa has outlined many reasons that this is so powerful for
the future academics of each member of the family. Rachel and I have found that
it is also the most important part of our family's emotional and relationship
development.
"I can't imagine trying to raise or educate young people without
this. In fact, this very format--reading and discussing of good and great books
as a class--was my most impactful experience in public school. In fourth grade,
my teacher made this a part of every day's experience, and it was during this
year that I fell deeply in love with learning."

What People Are Saying...
"Infinitely more than a curriculum. Because of TJEd, our family is stronger, happier, more confident, and more at peace."
"Our home is more peaceful, the children [are more] independently creative, our family has a greater feeling of unity."
"[Using] the TJEd book and related materials, my older children have been successful in Great Books programs in college."
TJEd gives clarity and purpose to the decision to homeschool,
and a template that can be applied by any family to achieve their
goals. I refer to it often as a handbook to help me further my own
studies, and highly recommend it to anyone interested in quality
education. Parents, teachers, and students alike will be energized by
this exciting book."
~Rebecca Kochenderfer, owner of Homeschool.com
A Thomas Jefferson Education has not only helped my wife Laura
and I create a better educational environment for our children, but has
constantly reminded me that master teachers believe that each child who
walks into their classroom is a genius, waiting to be discovered.
