Correction: An earlier version incorrectly combined BJU Press and Power Homeschool. They are separate programs. This review now covers BJU Press; Power Homeschool has its own review. Read the Power Homeschool review.
Review
BJU Press offers Christian textbook courses and its own recorded video lessons through the Homeschool Hub. Parents can choose subject kits or a full-grade package and adjust the lesson calendar. BJU Press is separate from Power Homeschool, which uses Acellus courses. BJU video curriculum is curriculum rather than enrollment in an accredited school.
Editorial rating: 3.40 / 5, equivalent to our 60 / 100 score. How we calculate it.
