About
The Gentle + Classical Press was founded by Erin Elizabeth Cox, a Montgomery, Alabama homeschool mother of four, with her first printed title The Gentle + Classical Preschool Level 1 released in 2018. The catalog has expanded from the preschool bundles (Levels 1 and 2 for ages 2-6) into a full spine including the Primer Bundle (K-1), Sequence 1 Bundle (grades 1-3), the On Mission core curriculum (K4-6), and subject-specific lines in nature study (Forests, Oceans), creation science (grades 3-6), humanities (Meaningful Menus, K4-high school), virtues and classics (Morning Virtues, grades 1-12), and handicrafts (Rooted Childhood Collections). The curriculum is Christian in framing with Bible study and creation worldview integrated throughout, though it is used across evangelical, ecumenical, and Reformed Christian homeschool communities. The company reports serving more than 75,000 families and has been named #1 Preschool Curriculum by the Teach Them Diligently Family Favorites awards in 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Materials are sold as digital PDFs or print-on-demand editions.
