"I used these programs with my older kids who went to do AP Chemistry in 9th/10th grade. The program is excellent... BTW - My oldest 2 have careers in the science field due to falling in love and having a strong understanding of science early. I accredit this to your program. Thank you!! (One is a software engineer, one is a Meteorologist in Air Force)"

“We used your curriculum for many years graduating three children with homeschooling. Our oldest is a Neurosurgeon at the Mayo Clinic. Our middle son graduated from the Coast Guard Academy ( top of his class) and our daughter is a manager at the Disney resorts. Your material was a strong foundation to our children's success in their jobs. Thank you! May The Lord continue to guide you, give you strength and to give you a continuous vision for future students.”

“(My Daughter) was laughing while doing the next section of Chemistry this morning and announced 'I LOVE this chem program!!' She had just reached the part where you named the equation 'George' and thought it was the funniest thing she'd seen in a text ever. We got this curriculum because she loved the sample on the website with the picture of the cat to convince the student that chemistry is cute and cuddly. Your sense of humor is making this subject work for us. Thank you!”

“We did bridge math last summer and then Spectrum chemistry this past school year. I appreciate very much the bridge math course because it did a great job of preparing my boys for the math in chemistry. It made the steps of how to solve the problems very clear. I will prepare my younger students in the same way for their high school science courses. Thank you so much for making it available... Keep up the great work!”

“Hi Durell, once again- you have given us a BEAUTIFUL homeschool science program!  This chemistry program looks outstanding- you’re a man after my own heart- I thought I was the only person that matches the color notebooks to the textbooks !!  Your attention to perfection and detail shows in all you do!! As always-  God bless you for making homeschool science an approachable, affordable, achievable, and academically- challenging experience”

"My older two kids have completed The Rainbow & Bridge Math and are now going to start Spectrum – Chemistry... I was so thrilled to find your curriculum and my teens love it… Thanks for your hard work in making a fun and very educational science course for other homeschoolers!"

“We LOVE your products!  My oldest son is in 7th grade this year.  At the MTHEA fair last year we purchased your Rainbow 1st year.  Stanley is loving Science even more than he used to. Being able to focus on the core principles and experiments is making him consider a career in the science field.  I couldn’t be more excited myself.  His enthusiasm has made his younger brothers thirst for the same experience.  I had the worst time year after year trying to find a science program that would engage my kids, have real experiments (not just arts and crafts), and make me feel like the might actually remember this down the road. Bravo to you!”

“. . . Having gone through the preparation of a scientist, I knew what I was looking for in a science curriculum, while not having much luck finding quality instruction for the homeschooler. Your text arrived yesterday . . . I am excited, I am thrilled to have at long last found (The Rainbow). Thank you for writing such an outstanding curriculum. It will form the backbone of my science recommendations for jr. higher at the Classical Christian Homeschooling website.

“It is with great delight that I take an opportunity to talk about The Rainbow before our home school support group. We are enjoying the program immensely–I for the clear concept of each lesson, and my daughter for the kid-friendly explanations.”

Those of you who have multiple children coming at you each day needing supplies … will truly appreciate the effort the Dobbinses have gone to to include everything possibly needed for each experiment. The humor helps me get through the grading of what is normally a very dry subject. The kids get a kick out of the humor, too. They have done an outstanding job with the packaged set and I highly recommend it.

“I had to write and thank you for your wonderful science curriculum! We are a few weeks into it, and my son can’t wait to do more. We have tried many other science books, but yours is the best! Please keep up the good work!”

B.H.

“We have enjoyed reading the first six or seven sections of The Rainbow. We appreciate your Christian point of view and your style of humor . . . You have the ability to explain concepts in a clear and concise (and humorous) way. Thank you! We are very happy with our decision to purchase your curriculum!”

“Thank you for caring enough to give other homeschooling families your knowledge and love of science, it IS God’s world!”

“I can’t say enough about how great your programs are! My oldest daughter started college this year and is breezing through chemistry with A’s! Also, she tested into a far higher math class than she had hoped for and I credit you and people like you!”

“We would like to thank you, your family, and staff, for producing such an incredible science curriculum. We all have been truly blessed by it this year. Our 13 year old daughter did not enjoy science until she began Rainbow. My husband and I are enjoying it too, and our 10 year old daughter can't wait until she is in 7th grade, so that she can, and I quote, 'do all the super cool experiments.' As a homeschooling mom, I praise you, and thank you for creating a curriculum that is so easy to understand and teach. Science now makes sense to me too, finally. Did I mention that it's fun too?”

J.L.

This a COMPLETE curriculum…EVERYTHING they will ever need to do their labs is included. It’s one of the best investments I’ve made in curriculum. I’m sounding like a 'rep' for Rainbow, but I’m not …I couldn’t speak highly enough about it, even if I were!

“In June of this year I was looking for a science program that all three of my children could study together. We had arrived at a place where their individual courses of study had to be put on hold. After a lot of internet research and numerous phone calls to many companies, we decided on Rainbow’s two-year course. I love it, the kids love it and we are VERY happy with your materials! So far, we have completed the physics portion of the program and I think it gives the very best explanation of physics I’ve seen across many curriculum programs!!! The kids are getting it and understanding concepts that previously had remained a bit hazy to them due to confusing wording and incomplete explanations from other courses."

“My son, 12, and I started The Rainbow this fall and it is the highlight of our day at school. We enjoy the great textbook and it is wonderful having all the equipment available to complete the experiments. We love your sense of humor and are having a great time.”

Christina

“I think (The Rainbow) is fabulous. The reading lessons are short but full of concepts terminology, illustrations and beautiful pictures/photographs. The lab book is written to the child so the can do most of the work independently . . . written in a humorous, but not condescending, manner.”

S.B.

“Thank you so much for writing The Rainbow! My 11-year old son is currently working on the program and he’s eating it up! We’re fairly new homeschoolers . . . finding an appropriate science program was challenging . . . From day one, he hit the ground running with The Rainbow.”

“Thanks for all the time and effort that has gone into the rainbow.  It is a science curriculum we can stick with. We homeschool and that is one of the things that my two older ones love to do is their science.  I love reading the textbook it is written in such an engaging, understandable way.  I recommend it many others for them to at least take a look at.  I know a friend of mine was having trouble with one of her daughters in the area of science and I told her about the rainbow and her daughter looked at it and for the first time in a long time, understood and had hope with science!”

Natalie

“We loved the Rainbow!  My daughter enjoyed your humor and concise explanations, and I loved the variety it added to our homeschool in those first couple of years after I took her out of private school.  Blessings to your work in the coming school year”

“I wanted to express my appreciation that (The Rainbow) is so well-organized and easy to implement–as a homeschool mom who is also working full time (nights), I consider that to be a real advantage.”

Mandi

“I am so thankful for the The Rainbow science program. I am intending to use your chemistry for my son for whom science has always been difficult. He is learning alot and enjoying science. I am too!”

Carol

“You have made the (Spectrum Chemistry) course very interesting and informative and my son looks forward to his lessons from you. Thank you for a high quality, God-honoring curriculum.”

R.H.

“My family pre-purchased The Spectrum Chemistry course for me my senior year in high school. I spoke to you several times throughout the course as you answered my questions . . . The reason I’m writing is to thank you for creating such a comprehensive and in-depth chemistry course. I am currently in my sophomore year in college studying for my nursing degree and taking many science classes. My biology professor has yet to lose me in the biochemistry section because of having taken your Spectrum Chemistry. I am sincerely grateful to you for making my college experience easier. Thank you.”

B.G.

“I have to tell you. I had a student two years ago who took chemistry. She was awarded the chemistry award as a freshman at East Carolina University this last year! Yes, Spectrum does prepare you!”

Karen

“First, I would like to let you know how much my son and I are enjoying Spectrum Chemistry. The text is easy to follow and understand. I never thought I could understand Chemistry, and you have solved that for me. Thank You. Your wonderful text and materials has made Chemistry our favorite subject this year. Blessings.”

Brenda

“Just wanted to drop you a note bout the Spectrum Chemistry course . . . We just finished up Bridge Math and found it to be very helpful before we began the (chemistry) text. . . . we are very pleased with this product . . . (Spectrum Chemistry) is well laid out and very user-friendly without compromising a quality high school level Chemistry course! . . . it well balanced in every respect. . . . It is a superior home chemistry lab with quality chemicals and equipment. This product is far more than what I expected. It is well worth the investment! Thank you.”

Brooke

“We are half way done with our school year and we are thrilled with Spectrum Chemistry. I couldn't have asked for better... I am thankful for the spectacular curriculum you have provided to the homeschool community. There is a great need for science at this level, and I am glad we found you for Chemistry.”
