You don’t have to choose between online and textbook learning! The best of both worlds exists with this elementary homeschool curriculum.
What are the benefits of blended learning? First, it keeps your child engaged. Textbooks, online enhancements, and hands-on materials enrich the experience. Second, blended learning ensures success through courses designed with visual learning and project-based learning and activities.

Blended learning is so much more than just a combination of textbooks and laptop — it’s an experience that your child will never forget!

Hello everyone! I’m Jessica Parnell — mom, homeschool evaluator, teacher, and CEO of Bridgeway Academy. In my 20+ years of experience as a homeschool mom and evaluator, I have had the privilege of meeting homeschoolers that take a variety of approaches to their education. It is their many stories and successes that inspire me in my own homeschooling and I love to pass on the knowledge that I have gained from them to other homeschooling families. The one constant that always remains true is that there’s no such thing as a “cookie cutter child.” Each child is fearfully and wonderfully made and as a result, learns and functions differently. It’s our job to ensure that we’re raising each child to fulfill their individual purpose and when we can teach in a way that inspires them, we are on our way to homeschool success. When I’m not writing or teaching my children, I like to ski, write and participate in triathlons. I graduated from Kutztown University with a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Masters in English and I am currently pursuing a degree in Neuroleadership.
