You can get discounts if you do a search for ACE rather than purchasing it directly from School of Tomorrow, because you can order it from a warehouse, not from the publisher.  I have done that before and gotten old versions of the curriculum.  The new versions are better, though, so I might not do that again.

ACE – We mostly use these cute booklets for Math, but we use them for other subjects, too.  Especially if you have many children, do not make homeschooling too hard on yourself!  This is an example of a great curriculum that makes your life much easier.I wouldn’t recommend a Christian school that uses this curriculum because you have to sit in cubicles all day and do nothing creative!  But they a
