Textbooks
You want to give your child the best
education. We do too. BJU Press produces textbooks and other materials that
build your child’s thinking skills, make learning enjoyable, and help shape your
child’s character. BJU Press believes that all truth is God’s truth and that all
truth should be taught from God’s perspective. Therefore, BJU Press textbooks
approach each subject from a thoroughly biblical viewpoint that is natural and
unforced—not added as an afterthought. You will also find that all of your books
build on each other to create a complete, unified learning experience. Your
child will gain a sound education, and you will not waste precious time trying
to adjust to different textbooks for different subjects.
Distance Learning
BJU Press Distance Learning is
tailored to meet the specific needs of homeschoolers around the nation. It
offers courses from K4–grade 12 in a wide range of subjects. Programming is
divided by grade and subject, so you may choose specific help. BJ HomeSat offers
classes by satellite and DVD.
Reliable Technology
With a satellite orbiting over North
America, BJU Press can offer our services nationwide, bringing quality
homeschool programming to virtually any home.
More Choices
With the BJU Press satellite dish and
your own TV, you can be connected to a multitude of exciting classes in a wide
range of subjects, such as mathematics, science, languages, and reading.
Friendly Service
BJU Press’ friendly and knowledgeable
staff is on hand to answer any questions you have—from details about programming
schedule to how to connect to BJ HomeSat.
Assistance, Not Replacement
Homeschoolers wanted to make their
studies more interesting and challenging, so a BJ HomeSat lesson is not just a
camera in a static classroom. It is specifically designed for this visual
medium, so there’s always something to interest your child! The goal is not to
replace you as a teacher but only to assist you. In K4–grade 12, the prerecorded
lessons include “Mom’s Minutes” and “Teacher’s Tips” that can help you prepare
for each lesson. The daily lessons are designed in a modular format, allowing
you to choose which segments in a given subject you would like to use.
Consider the Cost
BJU Press has also considered the
cost, attempting to make our service economical and efficient for your
homeschool. For less than the cost of a child’s meal at a fast-food restaurant,
you can have four channels of actual curriculum teaching beamed into your home
each day ($49.99 per month). This one low cost gives you all that BJ HomeSat has
to offer for your entire family. Since you decide which courses you want to
follow on a daily basis, you pay the registration costs for only the courses you
choose. The registration fees are course specific and range from $10 to $40 per
course per year. There is no better biblically based teaching available for so
little cost.
For Mom and Dad
BJ HomeSat is designed for Mom and
Dad’s enrichment too. Via satellite, you will get programs of special interest
to home educators, including workshops about teaching and parenting, seminars on
Christian living, and programs providing both cultural enrichment and wholesome
entertainment.
Overview
BJ HomeSat wants to make distance
learning an enjoyable experience. You will receive an installation manual to
help you assemble and install your satellite receiving system. Whether you
choose to install it yourself or hire a professional installer, you will soon be
connected to BJ HomeSat’s exclusive satellite signal.
Satellite Dish
Our satellite system connects you to
the world of BJ HomeSat, not only providing you with the classes you want for
your children but also doing so without bringing any unwanted channels into your
home. In addition, you will have access to special programs, workshops, drama,
fine arts, and more.
Record and View
BJ HomeSat is designed to work with
your individual homeschool schedule. Simply record the classes you want from the
satellite receiving system and view them at your convenience.
Written Materials
For the primary grades, junior high,
and prerecorded high school courses, we have assembled course packets entitled
“Mom’s Minutes” and “Teacher’s Tips” that give you a brief summary of each day’s
lesson and the materials you and your child will need. For the secondary grade
levels, we have provided the Student and Facilitator packets, giving you helpful
information to assist in your child’s understanding. These packets are provided
to registered customers.
Available on DVD
BJ HomeSat classes are also available
to be leased on DVD. BJ HomeSat DVD elementary classes may be leased as a whole
grade; secondary classes, as a grade or by subject. All DVD packages come with
the textbooks essential for the class. The new DVD delivery offers a more
convenient and portable product than our traditional satellite dish. Slide the
disk into your player on your schedule. You can view your classes on a TV set, a
dedicated DVD player, most computers, or many laptop computers. Go to the
on-screen menu and in seconds you’re into today’s lesson. DVDs are leased for
your children’s use. There is no per-child viewing fee added to our published
price. DVD courses are available only as a complete grade package for elementary
grades K4–grade 6 and as a complete grade package or as individual courses in
grades 7–12. For children that are on a different grade level in a given
subject, we allow the flexibility to move up or down no more than two grade
levels for a maximum of two subjects. However, elementary students cannot move
up into secondary grade levels, and secondary students cannot move down into
elementary grade levels. For example, a parent could exchange Spelling 3 for
Spelling 2.
