Affordable Printing Options
How do families afford to print digital curriculum? Here are our tips:
- Remember that not EVERYTHING in the bundle will need to be printed. Each bundle comes with a "Start Here" or "Printing Help" document that advises which items to print and which are easy to use digitally.
- While not always an option, please consider investing in a home printer. You can find our recommended printer HERE.
- Skip FedEx and Office Depot! Unless you have a discount code through an organization, these are often the most expensive options. We love Watson Family Press. Use code GENTLE to save 10% off your order with them. See our printing blog post for a side-by-side comparison between printing at home, large printing businesses, and Watson Family Press.
Philosophy
You can find our statement of faith HERE.
The programs from The Gentle + Classical Press are grounded in the Christian Classical Tradition with a strong emphasis on the Charlotte Mason philosophy.
Books that have influenced these programs heavily are:
Charlotte Mason's Home Education, A Philosophy of Education, and Formation fo Character
The Liberal Arts Tradition by Jain and Clark
The Well-Trained Mind by Susan W Bauer
Tending the Heart of Virtue by Guroian
The Abolition of Man by CS Lewis
You may download any Teacher's Guide for free to better understand our educational philosphy and worldview.
Co-Op + Classroom Licensing
Are you planning to utilize any Gentle + Classical materials with a group of other famlies (co-op) or in your classroom or school?
We are so excited to hear that and feel honored to be considered!
We do want to share the information about our co-op/classroom licensing with you. This also applies to daycares OR ANY OTHER SETTING in which non-family members are gathered to utilize G+C materials in any capacity.
What qualifies as a "daycare, classroom, or co-op"?
We define a co-op, classroom, or daycare setting as: 2 or more households coming together in a group with the intent of using Gentle + Classical materials for their lesson or gathering time.
Digital Licensing
Co-op licensing costs $7 per student/per curriculum/per year (Preschool, Primer, and/or Nature). The licensing includes access to our full digital curriculum so that the lead teacher can print and use the curriculum and supplementary materials in the classroom setting only. It doesn't include licensing to print materials for students to use at home with their families. Families who wish to use the curriculum in their own homes should purchase the curriculum for home use.
We also offer licensing for our unit studies, such as On Mission, Morning Virtues, Christmas, Autumn, and Easter. The co-op licensing for each unit study is $3 per child/per digital issue.
Interested in printed materials for your group or classroom?
We are happy to provide you with a customized quote! We provide bulk discounts for these types of orders.
How to Proceed:
To use co-op licensing, we will verify your information so we can correctly invoice you and provide the desired curriculum. Then, we'll create an invoice for you for the number of students using the curriculum. Once you've paid the invoice, we will send you access to the full digital curriculum so that your lead teacher can print and use the materials during your co-op meeting times.
For a print quote, we follow the same protocol.
Please email us at erin@lifeabundantlyblog.com for a quote for your group!
