I just subscribed. Does this mean I'll start with the most recent issue or a later issue?

All new subscriptions for On Mission (digital or print) do NOT receive any currently released issues. When you subscribe, you will be billed on the FIRST of the next quarter deadline (which are Jan 1, April 1, July 1, October 1.) Subscriptions that begin after Jan 1 will not be billed until April 1 and would receive the April issue, etc. If you would like an issue that has already been released, you may order current and back issues individually HERE.  

What does each issue include?

Each issue includes opportunities to explore geography, science, math, world religions, missions, Bible history, cultural history, scripture, conservation, and more along with handicrafts, art, and music exploration. It includes articles written about historical missionaries and guest contributions from modern, experienced missionaries as well. It also includes an additional digital file of maps, Memory Statement Cards, and gorgeous paper dolls that feature traditional clothing from each locale.

Beginning with our Ukraine issue, we have created a new Student Notebook feature that provides additional books, YouTube links, activity ideas, 12-week scheduling, and activity pages that make implementing On Mission easier and more joyful for your family!

My magazine never showed up OR my magazine was damaged. Help!

Magazines that are damaged in a way that affects their usage will be replaced at no cost to you. If your magazine doesn't arrive within 30 days of shipping, I MUST be notified within that 30 day period. Magazines that are missing from more than 30 days will not be replaced.

If I order the print magazine, do I still have to print anything?

The MAGAZINE content (52 pages-60 pages) comes in print to your doorstep in a saddle-stitched magazine format. However there are still additional resource files that will be emailed to you that will need to be printed IF you want to use them. These include: Memory Statement Cards, Paper Dolls, and Maps. Currently, you cannot purchase these in print format. They are emailed as a digital file to ALL subscribers.  

You may also select the "+Student Notebook" options for your subscription and we will mail you printed student notebooks and a "card set" which includes the Memory Statement Cards, foreign language term cards, and paper dolls.

What age is the magazine created for?

This program is primarily created for children K-5th grade. However, we’ve made sure to include content that ensures that both slightly younger and slightly older children can be included without being bored or lost. 

What is the CARD SET and STUDENT NOTEBOOK?

The Card Set is a new way we've organized some of the additional printables that have always been available with On Mission. In this set, you'll find the geography Memory Statement Cards, Paper Dolls, and the watercolor Foreign Language Term flashcards.

Beginning with our Ukraine issue, we have created a new Student Notebook feature that provides additional books, YouTube links, activity ideas, 12-week scheduling, and activity pages that make implementing On Mission easier and more joyful for your family!

ALL charges for subscriptions take place within 24 hours of the 1st of Jan, April, July, and October.

How is this "Charlotte Mason" or Classical?

“For educative purposes, the child must learn such geography, and in such a way, that his mind shall thereby be stored with ideas, his imagination with images; for practical purposes he must learn such geography only as, the nature of his mind considered, he will be able to remember; in other words, he must learn what interests him. The educative and the practical run in one groove, and the geography lesson becomes the most charming occupation of the child’s day.

Give him next intimate knowledge, with the fullest details, of any country or region of the world, any county or district of his own country. It is not necessary that he should learn at this stage what is called the ‘geography’ of the countries of Europe, the continents of the world––mere strings off... It may be necessary to leave out a good deal, but every illustrative anecdote, every bit of description, is so much towards the child’s education. Here, as elsewhere, the question is, not how many things does he know, but how much does he know about each thing.” V1; p275

As you see, as we approach our “geography” study throughout this interesting medium, we are indeed reflecting the heart of a Charlotte Mason and Classical education to give intimate knowledge, with full details, stocking their imaginations full of living ideas.

How do I schedule this "magazine" as homeschool curriculum?

In your digital files, you will find a free "co-op" planner that includes a range of ideas and schedules for using a magazine in one month or over 3 months. These ideas and schedules are all applicable to home use. Most families have a special On Mission day in their week. Each week, they choose one topic (like missions, history, geography of the country, geography of the region, animals, clothing, food, etc) and read about that one topic. They then add additional books (suggested in the magazine), hands-on opportunities, or YouTube videos to expand the experience!

What religious affiliation does this magazine have? What are the religious beliefs of the authors? Is this magazines "sponsored" by any organization?

I (Erin, founder of The Gentle + Classical Press) am a non-denominational, protestant Christian, thusly this program is written from the full belief that the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) was given by Jesus to all believers- past, present, and future.

If you believe that our only salvation is found in Jesus Christ as Lord (Romans 5:1), that Jesus is the hope of the world (Matthew 12:21), and that no one goes to the Father except through Christ (John 14:6), then you should find this publication theologically agreeable.

You can find my complete Statement of Faith HERE.

This magazine has been brainstormed and created by The Gentle + Classical Press team. No organization, church, or entity backs, sponsors, or otherwise manages this magazine. This is just a plain-Jane homeschooling mom utilizing resources and connections to bring you the best content she can!
