Exploring America

Exploring America ​is a one-year course centered in God's Word that equips your student to better understand our country and his or her place in it. If you use the course as written, your student can earn one year of credit in three high school subjects: American History, English, and Bible. This curriculum features:

• Engaging lessons with colorful photographs and historic illustrations
• Letters, speeches, short stories, and poetry that reveal what people were thinking and feeling in the past
• Weekly project ideas
• Literature reading and Bible study assignments
  

Here's what Emma, a student in Indiana, said about this curriculum:

I can say with certainty that this has been the first time I have ever enjoyed learning about history . . . Not only did my knowledge increase, but so did my faith. That is priceless to me.
