United States History Honors Online

 Today there appears to be serious discussions about the history of our great nation. While this course may be authored apart from a biblical worldview, student’s critical thinking skills should be able to note any material that omits the hand of God working in America. It is expected that student’s will be able to incorporate a biblical worldview in their thoughts and writings.

​Students in this course are expected to work responsibly, self-motivated and in some cases independently.   History tells us much about the past, but it also can tell us much about the future of where a nation may be headed.

HIGHSCHOOL-B

Students should see our statement about these courses which are not authored from a biblical worldview. Students uncomfortable with these courses should enroll in our courses from a biblical worldview
