Master Books vs Teaching Textbooks

Master Books publishes Christian homeschool curriculum, biblical apologetics books, and other educational resources. Families can choose Basic 4 Subject Sets combining math, science, language arts, and history, or assemble a custom package by subject. Master Books Academy adds online courses in math, language arts, history, science, art, and electives, delivered as prerecorded, self-paced video lessons. Users who sign up or log in can preview the first week's lessons for free. An individual course costs $59.95, paid once purchase, with prices varying by course, and provides access for 18 months. Course pages identify required books or supplies, while standalone materials can be printed from PDFs. The curriculum spans preschool through high school and includes lesson plans, assessments, and parent guidance. Videos may be shared with immediate family in one household, but each purchase allows one account to enroll in a class. Classroom, co-op, or group use requires an individual seat license for each student. Academy courses are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Teaching Textbooks provides digital math courses from Math 3 through Pre-Calculus for students and homeschool families. Course apps combine interactive lectures with step-by-step video solutions, then automatically grade student work and save it in a printable gradebook. Each app has a searchable eBook that parents can view or print through the Parent Portal, where they can also review grades, change student settings, pause enrollments, and access answer keys. Students can work offline for up to six lessons before reconnecting. A free trial covers the program through lesson 15, has no time limit, and carries completed grades into a purchased course. Enrollments provide one student with one grade level and 12 months of access, with 90 days of pause time; moving to another grade requires a new enrollment. Listed prices begin at $48.95, paid once for Math 3, Math 4, and Math 5, and reach $83.95, paid once for Algebra 2 and Pre-Calculus. Apps are available for Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, Chromebook, and Kindle devices.
