An Introduction to Bright Ideas Press
Bright Ideas Press has been providing Christian-oriented curriculum for homeschooling families for over twenty years. It all started when Maggie Hogan was creating her own teaching material as she educated her two sons at home. As more and more people began asking to use her lessons, she and her husband Bob decided to begin a publishing company. Today Bright Ideas Press is known for its commitment to teaching history, geography, and science from a Christian perspective. Through the years, Bob and Maggie have maintained their commitment to provide affordable curriculum that busy moms love.

The Hogans are strong supporters of the homeschool community in general and give to the less fortunate through the ministry of Compassion International.

I have 4 kids ages 5, 3, 2, and 2 months. We have been doing bits and pieces of “homeschool” for awhile.
In the braod sense of the term, I’ve been homeschooling since our son came to us (thru foster care) at the age of 2. He’s fully ours now and 7 years old. We’d likely be considered “unschoolers” because we don’t follow a curriculum and kinda go along as it suits us.
I’ve been homeschooling for 3 years and my children are ages 12, 8, 6, and 4.
Love history curriculum looked at Mystery of History but haven’t had a chance to try it out yet.
I didn’t read the directions first, something I don’t recommend my kids do. LOL I have 4 kids age 8, 10, 10, 12 and have homeschool from the beginning.
I have one child age 10. We have been homeschooling for 5 yrs.
I have 4 kids ages 10, 9, 7, and 22 months. I have been homeschooling for 7 years.

Hi! I have four kiddos — 10, 5, 3, and 13 days. We’ve homeschooled for 3 years. We pulled our gifted/SPD son out of 1st grade and now have decided to keep the others home too as the 5 & 3 year old are exhibiting signs of giftedness as well. We’re in Ohio.

Hi my name is Laura Zielke. I’ve been homeschooling for 3-1/2 years now. I have only one child, a 10-year old son. We are mostly classical, but I use a variety of curriculum resources…and some days it’s more like unschooling than classical. So, maybe what I’m saying is that we are unschoolers who use classical-ish curriculum 🙂
I’ve homeschooled my kids for 5 years. Ages 9, 7, and twin 6 year olds.
