About New Leaf Publishing Group
New Leaf Publishing Group LLC (NLPG) is a leading homeschool curriculum and Christian book publisher founded in 1975. Defending Biblical truth and worldview is a major focus of New Leaf Publishing, which maintains three primary imprints. Master Books (MB) – and the Master Books Academy – serves students and families from pre-school through high school with curriculum that is infused with Biblical apologetics. Other imprints include New Leaf Press – offering hope for the Christian believer – and Attic Books – ensuring timeless Christian classics and history are reborn for a new generation.
Who thrives here?
We exist to impact eternity and glorify God — and that's not a tagline, it's the lens on every decision we make. We build effective, faith-infused curriculum grounded in Biblical authority that reflects a young-earth, creationist worldview. If that excites you, you're probably our kind of person.
The families we serve have chosen to educate their children at home, and they've trusted us to get it right. We don't take that lightly. The right engineer feels that weight — and finds it motivating.
