Paige Hudson, the author, is a homeschooling mom, with many years of teaching experience. She also holds a BS in Biochemistry from Virginia Tech. Paige felt there was a void in homeschooling curriculum for science. There were no affordable and interesting lesson plans that would instill a love of science while teaching the basic facts of a discipline. It was out of this need that she wrote the programs of Elemental Science. Paige hopes that this curriculum will be a welcome addition to your homeschooling adventure!

Brad Hudson, the director, holds a Masters in Biology and has worked as a research scientist in the field of ecology. He is responsible for verifying the scientific content of our materials. He also currently oversees web design, the ordering process and day to day operations within Elemental Science Inc.
Elemental Science began when I was researching programs for my daughter to use for first grade. In my research I was unable to find a program that was affordable, fit with the classical education model and was fun to do. So, I began to write my own program.

One day, in early 2008, as I was busily working on the program my husband asked me what I was doing. “I’m writing a science program for our daughter’s first grade year," I said.

He replied, “That seems like an awful lot of work for one student. Why don’t you just buy a program?”

I politely informed him, “There’s nothing out there that fits what I want.” I then proceeded to list of my criteria and the programs I researched an why they didn’t fit.

“Well, if you couldn’t find what you wanted, don’t you think others can’t find it either? You should try to sell it,” he said. That day the idea for Elemental Science was born.

As we look forward to the future, we plan on expanding our product line to contain programs for preschool all the way up to your high schooler. We also look forward to adding additional options to our main product line. We plan to continue to update our current programs as needed. Above all, we are committed to providing you with the same type of customer service we would expect to receive.
