Exploring America
Exploring America is Notgrass History's year-long Christian high school curriculum that combines American history, literature, Bible, and composition into a single integrated course. Designed to be completed mostly independently, it can earn your teen up to three high school credits: one in American History, one in English, and one in Bible.
Designed for grades 9–12, the course follows American history from early European exploration through modern times while examining historical events from a biblical worldview. Along the way, your teen studies the people, ideas, documents, and beliefs that shaped the United States.
The curriculum is built around 150 daily lessons spread across three hardcover volumes. History readings, Bible study, writing instruction, and literature assignments work together instead of competing for time. Teens who complete the full English program read twelve classic literature selections while developing composition, analysis, and research skills.
The included American Voices reader adds depth through speeches, letters, essays, hymns, and other primary-source documents. Reading the words of those who lived through history helps your teen move beyond memorizing dates to understanding the convictions, struggles, and ideas that shaped a nation.
One of the curriculum's greatest strengths is its integrated approach. Rather than studying history, literature, composition, and Bible separately, your teen sees how each subject informs the others, creating a richer understanding of both American history and Scripture.
Families can adjust the workload to fit their goals. Completing the literature program, writing assignments, and a research paper allows your teen to earn all three credits. Others choose to focus primarily on American History and the Bible for a two-credit course.
The optional Student Review Pack adds review questions, quizzes, exams, literary analysis, and grading support for families who want additional assessment tools.
Whether your teen completes two credits or three, Exploring America provides a thoughtful, academically solid study of American history through the lens of Scripture while strengthening reading, writing, and biblical understanding.
