Christian Homeschooling - Is this a hot question? Heres one insight. On our parents forum, I just noticed that the thread called "Christian perspective" has over 2000 views. This seems to be something of great interest. The thread starts with this question:
I know this is a secular program. But I was wondering, as a Christian, how this program rated. I don't accept things that has wizards and such in it. I didn't see any of that on the demo lessons. And what about the books. What type books does it have in it. This is my main concern about the program. It sounds great and I like what I saw on the demo. I would only be interested in it for Kindergarten - 2nd grade.
The moderator responded with:
This program is aligned to state standards, so it has evolutionary content. There isn't much of that at the grade level you are interested in. Families who do not want science added to their student's account need only request it. There are fanciful characters throughout the program. I have run into an occasional ghost and witch, as well as a couple of references to trick-or-treating.
Here are more threads that might interest you. They address the same type of concerns:

As a Christian I have felt total confidence with the T4L curriculum and have never come across anything I would personally deem "objectionable" to my faith. I think it is a totally individual/family decision, though, and I hope you will give the program a try and decide for yourself. Welcome to the T4L community...
There is also a post on the Time4Learning website about Christian Homeschool which says:
Many Christian homeschoolers like Time4Learning as a convenient, online home schooling curriculum that combines education with interactive fun. Here is how one Christian homeschool mother, who uses Time4Learning, tells her story:
