My Father's World Reviews: What Homeschool Families Actually Say

By My Father's World Books (MFW Books)·Bible · History · Geography · Literature · Science · Art · Music · Social Studies · Character Development

8 video reviews: 5 positive · 1 critical

My Father's World occupies an unusual place in this set of videos: none of them is a dedicated review of the program. Instead, it surfaces repeatedly as a curriculum reviewers used earlier in their homeschool journeys before settling on something else. The mentions themselves are warm. One mom who used it for early-elementary American history calls it really, really good. Another, who follows Charlotte Mason principles, describes using it as part of a living-books approach in her family-style homeschool. A third says she loved it alongside Story of the World — though she adds that had she discovered Biblioplan sooner, she would have used it instead of both. One reviewer also fields it as the comparison point when parents ask whether to choose it over The Good and the Beautiful. None of the reviewers explains in detail why they moved on; My Father's World simply appears in the we've-tried-it column as families migrated to Biblioplan, Generations, Notgrass, Story of the World, or Master Books. The honest takeaway from these accounts: parents who used it remember it positively, particularly for the younger elementary years, but for every reviewer here it was a season rather than a destination. Families wanting a deep, current evaluation of the program won't find one in these videos — only the consistent pattern that it was tried, liked, and eventually replaced.

Synthesized from 8 independent video reviews — every claim sourced from what real homeschool parents said on camera.

A good fit if…

Families drawn to a living-books, Charlotte Mason-style program for the younger elementary years — the use case reviewers remember it most fondly for.

Probably skip if…

Parents looking for a program these reviewers stuck with long-term — every family in this set eventually migrated to a different curriculum.

The Best Charlotte Mason Language Arts Curriculum | CHARLOTTE MASON INSPIRED HOMESCHOOL I've been a huge fan of Charlotte Mason ever since I read the book "For the Children's Sake" by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay (https://amzn.to/2QdDveS) when I first started homeschooling. (See all my favorite homeschool mom books here: https://amzn.to/2P5kmLi ). One of my goals was to find the best language arts curriculum that guided me in a Charlotte Mason style. I want to help you pick a good CM language arts curriculum. There are LOTS of options out there, I will list some, but it is definitely not all. Let’s look at what CM language arts would entail, so you can pick a good one that may fit this basic criteria. NEW to Homeschooling?

WARNING: Why I Won't Use The Good and the Beautiful Curriculum in My Homeschool 🚫 In this thought-provoking video, I dive deep into my decision not to use The Good and the Beautiful Curriculum in my homeschool. As a devoted Christian, I firmly believe in providing my children with a Gospel-centered education that prioritizes teaching them about Jesus, our Savior. Join me as I explore the key reasons behind my choice. I discuss the curriculum's approach and how it falls short in incorporating essential Christian values and teachings. I share my concerns about the lack of emphasis on nurturing a personal relationship with Jesus as our Saviour (because we can't save ourselves), which I believe is crucial in shaping the character and spiritual development of our children. By no means is this video meant to criticize or condemn The Good and the Beautiful Curriculum. Rather, it serves as an honest discussion about why I have decided to seek alternative options that align more closely with my faith and values...and also why I don't recommend The Good and The Beautiful Curriculum to others. If you're a Christian homeschooler who values a curriculum that places Jesus at the center of education, or if you're simply interested in understanding different perspectives on homeschooling, this video is for you.

UnclearHow to Homeschool

In their words

I think for the second grade, elementary years for like your American history, I used My Father's World and that was really, really good

we love living books we follow a lot of Charlotte Mason's principles so we did the living book approach for a long while because we did My Father's World

previously we have used my father's world. We have used Story of the World and we have loved those as well. But if I had known about Biblio Plans sooner, I think I probably would have used it instead of the other two

we did my father's world for a while we've done story of the world and we've done america story one so from master books

Common questions

What do reviewers actually say about My Father's World?+

In these videos it appears only as a curriculum families used in the past, not as the subject of a full review. The mentions are positive: one mom calls it really, really good for second-grade American history, another used it as part of her Charlotte Mason living-books approach, and a third says she loved it alongside Story of the World.

What ages did reviewers use My Father's World for?+

The most specific account comes from a mom who used it for the second grade, elementary years for American history and remembers it as really, really good. Another family used it for a long while as the living-books backbone of a multi-age homeschool.

Why did families stop using My Father's World?+

The reviewers don't give detailed reasons. They describe it as part of trying several programs before landing on a favorite — moving on to options like Biblioplan, Generations, Notgrass, Story of the World, or Master Books. One mom even says she loved My Father's World but would have used Biblioplan instead had she known about it sooner.

Is My Father's World a Charlotte Mason curriculum?+

One reviewer who follows a lot of Charlotte Mason's principles says her family did the living book approach for a long while because they used My Father's World, suggesting it fits comfortably in a Charlotte Mason-style, living-books homeschool. The videos don't go deeper into its structure than that.
