To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical.

If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.

Complete your student’s classical literature education with the Cornerstone Academics Grade 12 Literature Curriculum — the culminating year of the Vanguard Literature high school program.
Designed for classical education, this comprehensive program combines original historical fiction, poetry, narration, Socratic discussion, vocabulary, advanced literary analysis, and time-tested classical practices into the final year of a complete K–12 literature course. Through carefully crafted stories and guided study, students bring four years of high school literary formation to bear on stories of full moral weight and consequence.
The Grade 12 curriculum asks students to hold a range that runs from endings to beginnings — from the glassblower watching his hands for the tremor that will end his work to the seventeen-year-old who encounters a rival more gifted than himself, from the beekeeper whose wife and last hive die on the same morning to the young woman who inherits her father’s unfinished chart. The poetry completes the four-year arc with poems about what work leaves behind when the worker is gone.
Most families spend 30–45 minutes per day, four days per week. No additional books or materials are required — everything is included.
