Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping & Returns

What is Claritas Publishing's return policy?

We recognize that Claritas will not be a fit for everyone and are happy to accept returns if materials are in pristine, "sell-able" condition, and have not been used or written in. Please email bekah@claritas-publishing.com for return instructions. When the returned materials are received, they will be reviewed and, if acceptable, we will issue a refund for the returned items, less shipping costs incurred.

Starting a Claritas Community

What about the fees and such associated with using Claritas or starting a Claritas community?

We do not charge fees - no sign up fees, no registration fees for the co-op you are starting, no per student fees. We are thrilled you've found us and find our materials beneficial - thank you! - and we know that you have your own ideas and plans on how this material can best serve your family or community.

What about Claritas groups? How do I find a group in my area? Can I start my own group?

You may! Claritas Publishing does not regulate, oversee, or otherwise govern the groups, co-ops, or schools that choose to use our material. We do not charge fees. We do, however, require that those using our material purchase (own) our material, either by purchasing a Claritas Memory Work Guide or by subscribing to the relevant cycle on CrossSeven.org.

I would like to start a group — can you send me physical samples?

Absolutely. Please email bekah@claritas-publishing.com.

Beliefs & Orthodoxy

How does Claritas memory work treat foreign 'gods'?

Our memory work spends one week on the Greek/Roman gods because those names are fully intertwined within our Western culture. We also memorize facts surrounding major world religions such as Islam and Buddhism but we do not spend time learning the tenets of these false religions.

What about evolution? Young earth? Old earth? Creationism?

Claritas does not take a position on these potentially heated topics. Within our own Claritas community we have families who love Jesus, believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of GOD, and who hold to some version of each of these beliefs surrounding creation.

Ordering help: Fundamental Grammar

Help! We want to purchase your English grammar curriculum. What “Fundamental Grammar” materials should I order?

This is a frequent question with a myriad of answers. There is no set formula or age for ordering particular books. If your child is in 2nd-4th grade and has had no formal grammar training, the Fundamental Grammar Workbook for the Lower Grammar Stage, LEVEL 1 would likely be the place to begin.

Are the Fundamental Grammar workbooks included when I purchase a Fundamental Grammar Guide?

NO. The product descriptions indicate that the workbooks accompany, correspond with, or correlate with the FGG, but these workbooks are purchased separately.
