Scope and Sequence

Heritage Social Studies 11-12: US History: Then and Now

What could be more exciting than teaching your homeschooler the history you’ve already lived!  We’ll start with then: the early exploration of the United States and we’ll move on chronologically learning about such things as slavery, wars and political administrations of a few of our presidents.  You’ll discover the turn of the century with your homeschooler, who is bound to bombard you with questions as together you explore our history with a Christian perspective.  You’ll come close to present-day America as you have the opportunity to discuss the War on Terror with your homeschooler.  This is a fascinating must take course for Christian parents and their homeschooling children to discover together.
