Our primary focus is to understand God’s purpose for history. His plan is revealed to us through written records. Starting with the premises that history is the story of God’s plan for man and that history is linear, with Christ and the cross at the center, the students trace the development of empires, nations, countries, philosophies, movements, and trends. Modern world history survey is an overview from the age of exploration to modern times. This course integrates the humanities—art, literature, music and architecture. Writing skills are utilized as students spend time in historical research, analyzing primary sources, and communicating a biblical worldview of historical events and interpretations. This course meets the requirements for two high school credits: 1 history; 1 English

The focus of American Survey is to provide a rhetoric-level study of the history of the United States with an emphasis on the humanities. Research, oral communication, and composition are integral components of the course; scored discussion, oral discussion and argument are frequent activities. We begin with a review of a biblical worldview as it relates to history, first understanding that history is linear, with creation the beginning, heaven the end, and Christ the center. We then apply biblical principles to the founding and development of our country, as well as to contemporary issues. Of special emphasis is the Creation, Fall, Redemption paradigm as it relates to the philosophical decline of the US and to the errors of revisionist history. This course meets the requirements for two high school credits: 1 history; 1 English
