I home schooled for a few years before I became aware of the fact that many curriculum providers offer discounts to missionaries (and many are also for those in full time ministry)! I thought I would highlight some of them here. As Steve Demme stated, "This is my way of encouraging those of you on the front lines." I'm sure there are others I'm not aware of. I have decided that it can't hurt to ask, so if you are in full time ministry and there is someone you want to order curriculum from, ask if they have discounts available. The worst that they can do is say no!
There are different policies for each company as to how to go about ordering with their missionary discount. Some of the companies state their policies on how to order on their website, others you may need to email or phone directly.
- Tapestry of Grace - 40% discount
- Math U See - 50% discount (Phone office or email Steve Demme)
- Easy Grammar - Free up to $100
- Apologia - 35% - 40% Discount
- Letter of the Week (Preschool Curriculum) - Free Download - The author states in the sidebar of this link "If you are a missionary, please contact me before buying the LOTW!"
- Sonlight - 25% discount
- Abeka - We do offer a 10% discount for all of our child and parent kits for K4-6th grade. This is already factored in the price for you because you purchase the books as a unit and not individually. We also offer a 5% discount on subject kits for grades 1-6.
- Rainbow Resource - 15% Discount - Contact them at info@rainbowresource.com
- Heart of Dakota - We are pleased to offer a discount for active military families and for missionary families who raise their own support. Simply contact us by email at carmikeaustin@msn.com or by telephone at 605-428-4068 to receive your discount.
- Institute for Excellence in Writing - 10% discount
Normal shipping charges apply.
If you know of other curriculum suppliers that offer discounts, please post in the comments! This has been such a blessing to my family that I want to pass the information on to others.
Thanks for the info! I'm passing this along to my co-op and friends who are in the ministry.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is news to me (saw your post on the TOG group), we are with AGWM and live in Tanzania, and I use many of these curricula at full price :)...I'll be sure to ask when I order for this next year. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteThanks! We live and serve in Mali, West Africa, and our oldest is just starting kindergarten this fall, so we are entering into the largely unchartered waters of curriculum! I and my husband are medical missionaries, so although doctoring is what we are trained for, homeschooling is NOT, and I am humbled beyond belief at the prospect of doing this. Thanks for your help with discounts, we appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteaop (Alpha Omega) 40%
ReplyDeleteMy missionary friend just informed me that ace curriculum is free for the materials. But you pay enrollment for the online school and shipping charges for the books. I will try it myself next year. Not sure on how to contact them to get the discount.
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for this list! Beautiful Feet Publishing also gives a missionary discount and they have amazing American History (among other things) curriculum!
