Exploring America Curriculum

Exploring America isn't just a history course—it's a full-on, all-in, God-centered high school powerhouse that covers American History, English, and Bible in one smartly organized curriculum. Designed for independent teens but flexible enough for the whole family to follow along, this one-year program delivers the kind of academic depth that earns 3 high school credits: 1 for American History, 1 for English (literature and composition), and 1 for Bible. Prefer to scale it back? No problem—many families opt to focus on just the American History and Bible components, leaving the literature for another year. Either way, you're getting serious value.

With 150 daily lessons across three beautifully designed hardcovers, your teen will read engaging narrative lessons, original source documents, and American literature that spans poems, short stories, speeches, and hymns. The material runs from early European exploration through modern-day events, with an emphasis on seeing history through the lens of faith and Scripture.

The included American Voices reader brings the past to life through letters, essays, and documents that show what real people were thinking and feeling at the time. Meanwhile, built-in Bible study units tackle spiritual themes in U.S. history, making this course uniquely rooted in both critical thinking and Christian worldview.

Want more structure? Add the optional Student Review Pack with review questions, quizzes, exams, and an answer key to make grading easy. Weekly writing projects, a research paper, and twelve literature titles (purchased separately) round out the English portion for those taking the full 3-credit load. But even pared down to its history and Bible core, Exploring America earns 2 solid high school credits and delivers a clear, conviction-driven view of the American story.
