Publisher HMH expected to stop publishing it in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmhco.com\/programs\/saxon-math\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houghton Mifflin Harcourt<\/a>, and found out that they will likely stop publishing the school line sometime in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border:1px solid #f0d9c4;background:#fdf8f3;border-radius:14px;padding:20px 24px;margin:24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-weight:700;color:#b3541e;\">School-line titles being phased out<\/p>\n<div style=\"columns:2;column-gap:28px;color:#444;line-height:2;\">\n<div>Intermediate 3<\/div>\n<div>Intermediate 4<\/div>\n<div>Intermediate 5<\/div>\n<div>Course 1<\/div>\n<div>Course 2<\/div>\n<div>Course 3<\/div>\n<div>Algebra 1, 4<sup>th<\/sup> edition<\/div>\n<div>Algebra 2, 4<sup>th<\/sup> edition<\/div>\n<div>Geometry<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been <strong>no reported changes for the homeschool line.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 <a href=\"https:\/\/nicolethemathlady.com\/curriculum\/saxon-math\/\">Saxon Math video lessons<\/a>, 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. Not sure which level to start with? Take the free <a href=\"https:\/\/nicolethemathlady.com\/placement-tests\/subjects\/math\/curriculum\/saxon-math\/\">Saxon Math placement test<\/a> to find the right fit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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<div style=\"border-left:4px solid #38743f;background:#f4f7f1;border-radius:0 10px 10px 0;padding:16px 20px;margin:28px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.7;\"><strong style=\"color:#256a31;\">The bottom line:<\/strong> if you teach the homeschool line, there\u2019s nothing to worry about \u2014 those books are still in print and Nicole\u2019s video lessons cover every level. If you use the school line, pick up the textbooks you need while they\u2019re available, or switch to the very similar homeschool line whenever you\u2019re ready. So, is Saxon Math being discontinued for homeschoolers? No.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"update-jan-2023\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update &mdash; January 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rest assured. We&#8217;re on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\">\n<li>Saxon has<strong> NOT said they are shutting down<\/strong> their publication of their Homeschool Line in 2024. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saxon has said they will be <strong>reviewing their plan<\/strong> for the Homeschool Line in 2024. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Both of those tidbits of info were known months ago and nothing has changed since then. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whatever caused a stir earlier this week was unfounded. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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<h2 id=\"update-may-2023\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update &mdash; May 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After speaking with Stephen Hake, the co-author of Saxon Math, we have another update.
