Hi there,
I'm new to this community and have joined the forum here and submitted a request to join the Facebook group. I submitted my request a few days ago and now I can't see the group in my search results anymore. I don't know why that is, unless I answered one of the preliminary questions stupidly on accident.
My Facebook name is "Youngblood Fam".

More about "Celebrate AO!" |

It's one year from now!
Here are some more details -
When?
June 4-6, 2026
Where?
The Gatlinburg Convention Center, Gatlinburg, TN.
What is happening?
It's the 25th anniversary of the launch of AmblesideOnline. Our speakers will be members of AmblesideOnline's founding Advisory - Donna-Jean Breckenridge, Karen Glass, Leslie Laurio, and Anne White, as well as the members of AmblesideOnline's Auxiliary - Kathy Livingston, Lani Siciliano, Brandy Vencel, Naomi Goegan, Phyllis Hunsucker, and Amy Tuttle. We'll have some guest speakers, too - including Cindy Rollins. There will be some plenary sessions, many breakouts, and some special moments: a time to remember AO Advisory members Lynn Bruce and Wendi Capehart, and a dinner theater of a three-act one-woman play by Donna-Jean Breckenridge called "Charlotte Mason: In Her Own Words."
Who is this for?
In order to accommodate the many who are coming, we are limiting our attendees to homeschooling/teaching moms and nursing babes-in-arms (this includes veteran homeschool moms, who will have a role in mentoring others).
What about families?
There will be meet-ups for dads and families who wish to get together and enjoy Gatlinburg while the moms are at "Celebrate AO!"
What if I just can't come?
We are looking into livestreaming some portions of "Celebrate AO!"
Where will I stay?
We'll have some suggestions. There are many types of lodging all throughout Gatlinburg. We expect to also have blocks of some discounted hotel rooms.
How much will this cost?
We don't have the price yet, but we're working to make it as reasonable as possible. There will be some meals included as well.
When can I register?
We'll announce dates for registration later this summer.
What can I do to help?
Pray for us and for this event! And - watch this space. We're looking for people with some specific skill sets, and we'll be posting a 'help wanted' very soon.
See you in one year, as we "Celebrate AO!"

Old Mac won't load AO website or forum |

An AO mom with a 2015 MacAir can't load either the AO website or the forum. When she tries, the browser tells her that she can't access it anymore because her browser is too old.
She says:
"I can access youtube and Facebook and Google Docs and not much else.
To access Reddit or Wikipedia or my email I have to reset my time stamp. But resetting my timestamp doesn't work with the AO stuff."
Does anyone have any insight into how we can make this work for her?

Changes to Mythology in Years Four to Six |

The AO Advisory is pleased to announce a change of pace for Years Four through Six, in the subject of Mythology.
Many years ago, when we first assigned Bulfinch's The Age of Fable, we tried to keep the reading plan simple: one-third of the book for each of those years, nothing fancier than that. However, as the full curriculum evolved, we began to notice where parts of that book overlapped with other assigned texts. We listened to users' comments about what their students liked and didn't like, understood and didn't understand about the book. Finally, we considered the fact that, in the original PNEU programmes, students in the first year of Form II (those of about age 9) weren't assigned The Age of Fable, but The Heroes of Asgard, a somewhat simpler book of Norse myths. (In fact, we know that some families are already doing this.)
We decided that, to make this part of the curriculum more intentional and useful, we would make Heroes of Asgard an official part of Year Four. The Age of Fable will now begin in Year Five, with the stories that used to be assigned for Year Four. The first term of Year Six will include several chapters from later in the book, to give maturing students some new and challenging reading. And the rest of Year Six will be opened up for the Homer retellings (or originals) that were already part of those later terms.
If you're already thinking, "How am I supposed to figure out..." or "But we already read...," fear not: more details and schedules (including links to previous schedules) will be available on the AO website. We want to make this small but important change as painless as possible.
Oh, and one more thing (how could I almost forget this?): we will also have a set of brand-new, free study guides on the website, for The Heroes of Asgard and the assigned chapters of The Age of Fable. They will be linked from the pages for each of the three years.
We are excited about this new component in the AO curriculum, and we hope that you and your students will find it a blessing in the next homeschooling year.
