Both are Christian unit studies curricula designed for the whole family to learn together. Gather 'Round organizes units around engaging themes with beautifully designed digital downloads. My Father's World cycles through world history and cultures using living books and hands-on activities. Both accommodate multiple ages simultaneously.
Gather 'Round is newer, more visually polished, and more affordable per unit. My Father's World has been refined over decades and includes a stronger missions emphasis. Gather 'Round does not include math or phonics. My Father's World packages include those subjects. If you want maximum design quality and flexibility at a low price point, Gather 'Round is hard to beat. If you want a more established program that covers every subject in one package, My Father's World is the more complete option.
