Start an Institute

How long it takes to complete the entire core course depends on how often your classes are conducted.   You establish your own time schedule for classes

You must accredit your own school in your own state (US) or nation.   The requirements vary from state to state in the U.S. and from nation to nation.   Consult the department or education or the ministry of education regarding their requirements.  You might also check with other Christian schools in your area to learn how they are accredited.

If your students desire college credit for their courses, click here to contact schools offering credit for Harvestime courses.

You can download all of the curriculum free of charge from this site.   If you live in the US, you can also order them in perfect bound format by visiting our bookstore.   To download the courses free:  Just click on each course you want and save it to your computer.  If you are using someone else’s computer or you are at an Internet Café, you will need to download the courses and save them on a flash drive and then copy them to your own computer later.  

You can reproduce the materials for your class or school only. You cannot reproduce the materials to sell them commercially. You cannot remove the Harvestime name and contact information from the materials, but you can add your own so people can contact you also. If you are in the U.S. or Canada, you might want to order perfect bound copies from the Harvestime web page, which may be cheaper than photocopying them. You can then sell them to your students for what we charged you plus 15% overage for your administration costs. You can also reproduce materials for your students by putting them on flash drives, CD ROMS, or SD cards. If you cannot afford these data supplies, then put the courses on one flash drive and pass it around so all the students can load the material on their computers or mobile devices. You would need only one flash drive for this purpose.
