Founded in 2001 as Peace Hill Press, Well-Trained Mind Press specializes in K-12 books and curricula that are designed to meet the goals of classical education.
In 2016, the Press changed its name to Well-Trained Mind Press to reflect its mission: to help parents and teachers provide the education described in the best-selling guide The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home. (Purchase receipts from our online store still say Peace Hill Press.)
Flagship series include the narrative world history series The Story of the World; the elementary and intermediate (pre-rhetoric) programs Writing With Ease and Writing With Skill; and the complete grammar curricula First Language Lessons and Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind.
Our newest line is our math series: Math With Confidence elementary math curriculum and Math Facts That Stick supplements developed by mathematician and home-school parent Kate Snow.
Well-Trained Mind Press also publishes storyteller Jim Weiss' audiobooks and illustrated versions of novels, poetry, folk tales, history, and biographies from around the world.
Well-Trained Mind Press books can be purchased directly from the Well-Trained Mind Store, or anywhere books are sold. PDFs and MP3s are available only from our store. Some books are available as ebooks or audiobooks from Amazon, Google, Apple, and Libby.
The Well-Trained Mind is distributed internationally by W. W. Norton and its partners.
