Where the Christian teaching sits
Every grade has a King James Bible course, including Bible: Church History, Pentecost to the Present in grade 10 and Bible: Worldview and Apologetics in grade 11. Every social studies course is published in full, every unit and objective, so you can read how a course handles its period before your child starts it.
What this is not
- This page does not describe a particular historical viewpoint, and it should not be read as promising one. Read the units of the courses you care about most, such as the three United States history courses, before you decide.
- There is no state history course, and kindergarten to grade 2 share one combined course rather than having a course each. Grade 12 social studies is two 4-unit courses, Economics and Government.
- Clara is an artificial intelligence, not a human tutor, and the lessons run roughly 30 to 50 minutes per subject on screen. It is not accredited and does not issue a diploma.
