2015 The Old Schoolhouse® Excellence in Education Awards
The Excellence in Education Awards are designed to help homeschool parents find the tools they need to teach their children.
The survey was created so that individual respondents entered the name of a curriculum or product of choice for each category. They were not given a set of choices from which to choose. Consequently, the winners of the TOS 2015 Excellence in Education Awards were clearly chosen by the respondents, and the respondents were not constrained by the crafters of the survey. After all the data were amassed, category totals were calculated and the winners determined.
In some categories, we’ve listed second-place finishers to provide even more alternatives for you as you consider your options. If responses varied significantly among respondents, not allowing for groupings of responses, only possible place finishers are presented.
We’d like to say a special thank you to all of you who voted for SchoolhouseTeachers.com in various categories. Due to the fact that it is a division of The Old Schoolhouse®, we’ve decided to remove ourselves from the running for these awards, but your heart-felt support is deeply appreciated. We are very grateful for those of you who nominated us for the top position in several categories.
