Today I found a free version of it. It is not exactly the same, but pretty much it is. The cool thing is that it is much BETTER than the ecc everyone has heard about. And because it is free curriculum, you cannot lose!
Personally, I would add higher level resources for older students in middle school or high school. MFW has written their version to be for grades 2-8. (I think grades 7 and 8 would be a serious stretch for their program because it is so "light".)
Good news! Your library is an excellent resource. Don't forget Ebay, HomeschoolClassifieds, Vegsource, Project Gutenberg, and a really awesome place is Exodus Books.
The gal who wrote this great free program calls it "Countries & Cultures Of The World".
- FREE: Country & Cultures curriculum
ANOTHER GREAT RESOURCE...
