You might have heard this rumor rolling around the internet.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve done a little research to set the record straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, there are two lines of Saxon Math textbooks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">There is the homeschool line that looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nicolethemathlady.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4.-Saxon-Math-7_6.jpg\" alt=\"Saxon Math 7\/6 Textbook\" class=\"wp-image-3936\" width=\"282\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nicolethemathlady.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4.-Saxon-Math-7_6.jpg 366w, https:\/\/blog.nicolethemathlady.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4.-Saxon-Math-7_6-220x300.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 282px) 100vw, 282px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">And, there is the school line that looks like this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nicolethemathlady.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/15863411313028-saxon-course-1.jpe\" alt=\"Saxon Math Course 1 Textbook\" class=\"wp-image-41054\" width=\"287\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nicolethemathlady.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/15863411313028-saxon-course-1.jpe 259w, https:\/\/blog.nicolethemathlady.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/15863411313028-saxon-course-1-219x300.jpe 219w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As the names suggest, the homeschool line is sold primarily to homeschools and the school line is sold primarily to schools.&nbsp; We\u2019ve contacted the publisher, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and found out that they will likely stop publishing the school line sometime in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Intermediate 3<\/li><li>Intermediate 4<\/li><li>Intermediate 5<\/li><li>Course 1<\/li><li>Course 2<\/li><li>Course 3<\/li><li>Algebra 1, 4<sup>th<\/sup> edition<\/li><li>Algebra 2, 4<sup>th<\/sup> edition<\/li><li>Geometry<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been <strong>no reported changes for the homeschool line.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what can you expect if you&#8217;re currently using the school line?  I imagine that it will take a while for these books to go completely out of circulation.  If you can find copies of the textbooks you need, you could continue to use this line for the foreseeable future and most likely not experience an issue.  I will continue to provide videos, so no worries there.  If you&#8217;re thinking of switching over to the homeschool line, it would be an easy transition as the textbooks for both lines are quite similar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll continue to monitor the situation, and if any updated information becomes available, rest assured, that you&#8217;ll hear it from me immediately.&nbsp; But for now, let\u2019s get the school year started with one less thing to worry about.&nbsp; Here\u2019s to a great year!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See you soon,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicole<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>01-24-23 UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phew. The Saxon rumors were running pretty wild the last few days! If something could go &#8220;viral&#8221; in a Homeschool Facebook Group, it would be the mere suggestion that Saxon is shutting down their publication of their Homeschool Line of books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest assured. We&#8217;re on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spoke with our top-level contact at Rainbow Resources today and found out a few things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Saxon has<strong> NOT said they are shutting down<\/strong> their publication of their Homeschool Line in 2024. <\/li><li>Saxon has said they will be <strong>reviewing their plan<\/strong> for the Homeschool Line in 2024. <\/li><li>Both of those tidbits of info were known months ago and nothing has changed since then. <\/li><li>Whatever caused a stir earlier this week was unfounded. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is no guarantee that Saxon will continue publishing the Homeschool Line after 2024, there is also no reason to believe they won&#8217;t. As we learn more information, we will keep you updated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>05-18-23 UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After speaking with Stephen Hake, the co-author of Saxon Math, we have another update.
