Rod and Staff Curriculum Review



Rod and Staff is a provider of affordable, academically-sound, Bible-based workbooks, textbooks and complete curriculum packages. The company publishes phonics, reading, English, math, science, spelling, penmanship, health, history, geography, social studies and fine arts programs for preschool through 10th grade.

The company's traditional, black-and-white texts reflect conservative Mennonite values and promote Christian living. However, the thorough, high-quality materials are of such caliber that they are even recommended in nonreligious books, such as The Well-Trained Mind.
