Description

The Robinson Curriculum was created by Dr. Arthur Robinson, who is a home-based Scientist & owner/president of Oregon Institute of Science & Medicine. Dr. Robinson desired a self-teaching curriculum for his children, when his wife died, that focused on the essentials of reading, writing and arithmetic (The 3-R’s method) without all the unnecessary filler information that is being taught today in most schools and most homes across the country.

Dr. Robinson’s methods and ideas are simple, but not original and can be traced back to the turn of the century. He has opened many minds to seek a superior education— the time-tested, proven method using vintage books and the important fact that it doesn’t take a lot of money, to educate your children. With today’s technology you can access most everything you need from the internet to home school the Robinson way. Dr. Robinson started with a quality home library. Having readily available resources for inquiring, growing minds is always important in every household.

The RC Basic Method or Course of Study:
1. Reading quality books
2. Writing one essay per day
3. Math (The RC suggests to buy Saxon but not until 54. It contains No Math except flashcards)

The RC course of study is what’s called Self-Teaching and the famous 3-R’s. He says all other subjects should be learned in the essay or reading part of your schedule. He does not discourage other subjects, but says if not required by your state, should be given attention as extra curriculum activities only.

The Robinson Home School Curriculum includes:

Course of Study:

More information about Self Help:

Self-help or self-improvement is a self-guided improvementóeconomically, intellectually, or emotionallyóoften with a substantial psychological basis.
Many different self-help group programs exist, each with its own focus, techniques, associated beliefs, proponents and in some cases, leaders.
Concepts and terms originating in self-help culture and Twelve-Step culture, such as recovery, dysfunctional families, and codependency have become firmly integrated in mainstream language.

Self-help often utilizes publicly available information or support groups, on the Internet as well as in person, where people in similar situations join together.
From early examples in self-driven legal practice and home-spun advice, the connotations of the word have spread and often apply particularly to education, business,
psychology and psychotherapy, commonly distributed through the popular genre of self-help books.
According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, potential benefits of self-help groups that professionals may not be able to provide include friendship,
emotional support, experiential knowledge, identity, meaningful roles, and a sense of belonging.
