Accelerated Homeschooling
Accelerated Homeschooling: The Good News and Bad News
The good news is accelerated homeschooling really works if you work it. You will have a child who is years above grade level. The bad news is that then you must deal with a child who is years above grade level. Accelerated learning is one of those things that seem to be on everybody’s wish list. "I wish I had more time to read", "I wish I could read faster", "I would love to learn another language if I had the time", "I wish I knew more math, but it's just too confusing!" Once accelerated learning becomes a reality in your family's life, it changes everything.
Julie
Denise started her daughter, Julie, in our Matrix Math & Accelerated homeschooling reading program when she was two years old. By the time Julie was three she was reading on a second grade level. She had learned addition and subtraction and mastered her first level of memory training.
Julie's joy of learning soared. She was a happy little girl. Sure, I think Julie was smart, but I think all kids are smart. Intelligence is the most common thing I see in the classroom - training that intelligence to make it work for you, like an athlete trains their body to be strong and skilled. That is what is rare these days.
3-5 Times Faster
Accelerated learning is 3-5 times faster than traditional education. It works by creating a learning environment where high achievement is the norm. Everyone gets there if they just follow the program step-by-step. It is a game that everyone wins. The program prioritizes objectives – meaning we focus on the most important skills first and learn them fast.
No child will go anywhere in mathematics without mastering addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. We call this level of education, "Facts Master". The next level of skill is factoring which we named, "Factor Master", which mathematical geniuses of the ages call the "Fundamental Principle of Mathematics". Factoring is a part of every mathematical computation beyond addition and subtraction. If you have mastered factoring, it is all easy. Following that is "Fraction Master". Fractions are probably the most neglected mathematical skill, even among homeschoolers.
All of these skills can be mastered within a few semesters with our accelerated homeschooling curriculum. Then your child will be ready for "Equation Master" - algebra and geometry. Some children are doing algebra by the age of eight or nine. Like I said, when accelerated learning becomes a reality in your family's life it changes everything.
Our goal is threefold: to help parents give their children spiritual strength and purpose, to give them a world-class education, and finally to help our students ace their college entrance exams, allowing them to pay for college without mortgaging the house. The money for college is there – billions and billions of dollars go to the children who are the best prepared for these fairly simple exams. A quarter million dollar higher education can be had for the price of Jones Geniuses Accelerated Learning programs. Is it worth the investment? You be the judge.

"Dr. Jones math curriculum is the most advanced, exciting and easy to implement program I have ever found. The kids excelled quickly and came to enjoy a subject they had only tolerated before. My 3-year-old learned the basics of reading and math. My 17-year-old is doing cube roots in her head. What more can you ask of a course of study?"
-Cindy Camp, Garland, Texas
"The Genios regularly stun observers with lightning-fast mathematical calculations. Children are zipping through problems most educated adults would have trouble solving even with a calculator."
-Rebecca Rodriguez, Dallas Observer
"I was in my first college math course. All of the other students were several years older than me. On the first day the teacher asked what was the fifth root of 32. Of course, to a [JG Math] student that is an easy question, but when I answered it everyone turned to look at me in awe."
-Meredith Escobar, Lancaster, Texas
"Those who have gone through this (memory) exercise, at Super-Memory seminars given by Dr. Miles Jones, memory guru and teacher, will have a hard time NOT remembering."
-Bill Marvel, Dallas Morning News
"Kevin is surging into addition and subtraction and phonics. And Maureen "loves" math. They both love the ribbons. Wow! I'm impressed. Being a math kind of guy myself, I can see the incredible depth of understanding of how the mind learns and the amount of tedious work that has gone into this. I want to encourage you because you are really on to something."
-Randle McCaslin, Austin, Texas
"When we first met Dr. Jones, Kristen was in 6th grade and needed a jump-start in math. She was suffering from math phobia and was very behind, barely able to add and subtract, let alone multiply and divide. Within that year she became a Grand Facts Master and her math phobia disappeared. She went on to be on the demonstration team and eventually became captain of the team. I tell people that she went from not being able to multiply to being able to find the cube root of six-digit numbers. Amazing!"
-Tara Rose, DeSoto, Texas
"Matrix Math is great for my children because it is individualized for each child. We were able to stay on a concept until they mastered it [...] My seven-year-old is so excited about mastering a concept. She says it "is fun and easy to do!" My six-year-old loved the dots and couldn't wait to do the next sheet. My three-year-old, Simone, is now reading after only a few months in the program."
-Angel Baldwin, Arlington, Texas
"Dr. Jones! Just wanted to thank you for all we learned last year with you and your curriculum. [...] We are using the methods you taught us and applying them to our algrebra I & II lessons. Sometimes we get confused and then a little light comes on and we remember what Dr. Jones taught us and it all makes better sense. We wouldn't be able to make it through [...] without your methods. God bless you!"
-Laura Pool, Fort Worth, Texas
"Clinton took the 8th grade TAKS practice test on the internet and scored 95% for his grade level. His teacher asked for the salt content of the ocean if it increased at a consistent rate for one million years and Clinton was able to figure it out in his head. Clinton had a bad attitude at the beginning about math [...] now after a year he appreciates what he has learned from Dr. Jones."
-Cindy Howard, Dallas, Texas
"Dr. Miles Jones founded an accelerated learning program at Sam Houston Elementary that lets students complete the elementary curriculum as fast as they want."
-Beaumont Enterprise
"Are you ready to be embarrassed by some eight-year-olds? [...] Average kids from average schools who've learned the skills to mental math that make them faster than a calculator."
-Jeff Crilley, Channel Four News, Dallas
"Charis has had a BREAKTHROUGH in addition and subtraction: 3:52 on addition and 4:09 on subtraction. Multiplication is down to right at 5 minutes. [...] She's still fluctuating between 99% and 100% on that. Interestingly enough she's at 100% in division and is just over 5 minutes. We're getting there!"
-Valerie Pope, Fort Worth, Texas
"[Dr. Jones' first grader] Martha was calculating the cube root of 373,248. It took her less than ten seconds. Without putting pencil to paper she came up with the correct answer: 72."
-Associated Press
"It's just so amazing! It really caught me by surprise!"
-Delores Chavez, Dallas, Texas
"I wanted to tell you how thankful we are that Christian has been able to be in your classes. We cannot wait to have him tested. Thank you for your ministry to our young people. It is truly a blessing."
-Chris & Lynn Ellen Petersen, Dallas, Texas
"My daughter now does math at home on her own initiative - something she had not previously been inspired to do, despite the colorful and seemingly enticing curriculum we were using. Dr. Jones uses fun and imaginative board games he has designed to help improve memory and increase knowledge. One of these games, "The Big Potato," involves the memorization of the periodic table of the chemical elements. Another game, "Harvard Yard," helps prepare students for the SAT. Dr. Jones' classes have definitely enhanced my daughter's interest in and knowledge of mathematics."
-Jennifer Kuzbary, Dallas, Texas
"A group of Dallas elementary students took on math educators from several North Texas colleges. The educators even got to use calculators. Students, who didn't, still had the right answers more quickly than the educators. At the end of the '96 school year, 13 of 20 students were double promoted from first to third grade."
-Brad Wright, Channel 8 News
"Our son (age 10) has embraced this program with enthusiasm and great success. [...] He was struggling with an "I'm not good at math" attitude. [...] The change has been nothing short of phenomenal. To quote our son: "The classes are awesome. I have fun learning math." The course has completely eliminated any fear of math, no matter how complex the problem. [...] We unequivocally recommend Dr. Jones and his [JG Math] program to any parent regardless of the age, math aptitude and experience level of their child."
-David & Veda Johnson, Dallas, Texas
"Blessings, blessings, blessings! Before [JG Math], my children loathed math! There were frequent tears and exclamations of "I CANNOT DO THIS!" But now my children, all 7 of them, are excited about math and cannot wait to do it! They love math so much after just 3 weeks of your program that they ask to do it at night and on the weekends! Thanks so much!"
-Mikaela Raine, Dallas, Texas
"The problem was to find the fifth root of 714,924,299. In less than ten seconds, three students correctly answered 59. The adults, with calculators, took more than a minute. Some never finished."
