Read Article → FAQs Curriculum What is a learning guide? Our tried-and-true learning guides provide step-by-step instructions that allow a student to move through the learning process with confidence. This self-guided approach fosters independence, understanding and use of information through assignments and activities. Students progress at the right pace for them, moving quickly when the sailing is smooth, taking more time when they hit rougher waters. Additionally, each learning guide has designated checkpoints for the teacher and ends with a final exam, allowing the teacher to easily ensure success. Thousands of students and parents have found this approach extremely effective and much more engaging and enjoyable than other approaches. We agree. That’s why we work as hard on creating the learning guides as we do on the books themselves! How can I find out what supplies and other materials a student will need to obtain? Required additional books and materials (other than basic academic supplies) are either noted in the Materials You Need to Supply” section of the course description, or given via a separate "Materials List" on the course description page. Can I make copies of the Heron Books materials I purchase? Just as with any textbook you purchase, our books are copyrighted and should not be copied. Learning Guides are downloadable and can be copied or downloaded as often as you wish. Do you offer curriculum for diagnostic testing? We offer exams for individual courses, which are intended to be used after the course is completed. Some Math and Spelling courses have diagnostic tests that can be taken prior. Ordering How do I pay for the materials I want to buy? MyScholarShop will do the payment processing, including checking to make sure you have available funds. You are not obligated to use MyScholarShop . You can purchase pre-approved instructional materials and curriculum directly from vendors and then apply for reimbursement. See source information . What do I get when I order a course? A Heron Books course generally consists of a course learning guide, a study booklet (text), certificate of completion, and an after-course examination. How fast do you ship orders and what shipping company do you use? We are a print on demand publisher. We typically ship all orders within 48 hours of receipt. Items shipping outside the United States are shipped First Class or Priority Mail via the U.S. Postal Service. If you have questions or need special shipping arrangements, please email us . What is your refund policy? Heron Books will refund unmarked, unstamped, resalable materials within 30 days of invoice date for any reason, for a full refund or account credit (excluding original shipping charge). Please explain the reasons or circumstances for the return. Shipping charges on returned materials shall be paid by the customer. Other Questions Is Heron Books part of any religious organization or group? No, it is not. Heron Books operates independently of any church, religious organization or group. It exists to provide effective non-religious educational materials to schools, homeschoolers, families and students of all (or no) religious persuasions. What is Heron Books’ association with the Delphian School? Heron Books was established in 1976 as a sister organization to the Delphian School , a non-religious K-12 boarding school in Oregon. Its purpose was to create high quality materials for Delphian as an early adopter of proficiency- or mastery-based education. Over time, the popularity of these materials grew. Today our materials are used by individuals, schools, tutors and homeschoolers around the world. Heron Books operates under a corporate umbrella with Delphian, and its offices are located on the Delphian campus. Our team of writers, artists, sales and production staff all assist in academic or extra-curricular activities within the school, while also collaborating with the school’s faculty in the ongoing development of new and better books and learning materials. This unique collaborative relationship allows us to test and refine our materials through work with actual students and teachers.
