Exploring Government, Fourth Edition doesn't try to sugarcoat what government is—but it does make sure your teen actually understands it. Whether he's voting in the next few years or just trying to survive social media debates, this one-semester, Bible-based course gives him a clear, practical, and respectful look at how our federal, state, and local systems work—and why that matters.
This isn't some nearly 500-page ramble. It's 75 daily lessons across 15 tidy units, written directly to the student with a clean, get-it-done layout. He'll cover the U.S. Constitution, key political ideas, and current issues—with optional assignments that include real writing or discussion prompts if he's aiming to snag the extra ½ credit in English (yes, two half credits: U.S. Government and English). You can keep it simple or go all in.
Designed for independent learners, the full-color textbook is paired with We Hold These Truths, a powerful collection of speeches, essays, and founding documents that bring history to life without putting your teen to sleep. Both books are visually engaging and loaded with full-color illustrations, maps, and historical photos.
The optional Student Review Pack includes lesson questions, literary analysis, and test materials. Great for review, writing structure, or sparking big-thought dinner conversations—especially if your teen isn't a natural writer and needs a nudge to articulate ideas clearly.
No hand-holding required from you. Everything's laid out clearly, making this a strong pick whether your student is headed to college, starting a trade, or just preparing to adult responsibly. And yes—this course earns ½ high school credit in Government, with the option to earn ½ in English too.

We consider the literature component of the Notgrass history courses to be optional. You can have your student complete the Notgrass literature, with related assignments, instead of the Implications of Literature course if you like. We would not recommend trying to do both unless your student is highly motivated. Alternatively, if your student is an avid reader he might enjoy simply reading any or all of the suggested books as a supplement to the history.
