As a Christian songwriter and music producer, Jenny Phillips has released over 27 albums and has shared her love of music across the world, speaking at over 1,100 events in 23 countries and selling over a million CDs. In order to reduce the stress and time commitments that naturally come with a music label, and so she could focus more on her young family, Jenny left her music label in 2011. She now offers her music for free on www.hislightmusic.com.

When Jenny's children began going to school, she turned toward another one of her passions—education. Jenny began homeschooling in an effort to provide a faith-based, high-academic education focused on building noble character. Not wholly satisfied with any curriculum she could find and deeply concerned about the loss of good literature in our world, she founded The Good and the Beautiful.

Jenny lives in Utah with her husband and five children. In addition to music, motherhood, and good literature, Jenny loves family history, gardening, traveling, and exercising. She is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but she enjoys working with people of many faiths as she shares her multi-denominational curriculum, rejoicing in the common good that all Christians share.

I grew up in a landlocked area where marine biology was something I could only read about. I love that the Navy provides our family opportunities to LIVE this! Lessons about tide pools were immediately followed by a day tiptoing around sea urchins, star fish, and anemones. If we read about a strange fish, we'd go snorkeling to try to find it. I snorkeled past 3 sea turtles the other day!
I really appreciate that this course was open-and-go style to make it easy to start lessons as a family. Most of the materials could be found around the house, which meant SO much for time management, cost, and my tendency to procrastinate things I don't enjoy.

This unit is so amazing. We used the free PDF download and now purchase all of the science units!

This was FREE so I can't really complain but it wasn't my favorite. The kids did enjoy the lessons but the layout of the teacher's book was hard on the eyes.
