Patriot’s History materials were created by Professor Larry Schweikart—otherwise known as America's history teacher. Professor Schweikart taught American history for more than two decades and his best-selling book, A Patriot's History of the United States, is referenced in thousands of high school and college classrooms across America.
This course will teach your high school students everything they need to know about the history of the United States, from early American history and the colonial period through to the end of Reconstruction in 1877. It incorporates the "Four Pillars" of American exceptionalism— 1)a Christian, mostly Protestant religious foundation; 2)common law; 3)private property with written titles and deeds; and 4)a free market economy—and illustrates how they shaped the early United States.
In class, we will discuss the reading, learn to take notes from a text and a lecture, and watch Professor Schweikart impart his unparalleled knowledge of American history through a series of engaging and entertaining educational videos, each one covering a different era in US history. Drawing on his two decades of experience as a history teacher, Professor Schweikart brings history to life. This course is designed for 9th-12th grade students. Exceptions can be made for 8th grade students who are history-lovers and strong readers. Students must be able to interact on Google Classroom to send and receive instructions and assignments.

Required text: Apologia Exploring Creation with Physical Science, 3rd Edition
Supplies: 3-ring binder, pencils
Course Description:
The lab class will cover the textbook concepts through labs, worksheets, and 2 major projects. One project is due before Christmas Break, and the other is due before Spring Break. Students will have the opportunity to learn to properly collect data during a laboratory experiment and write up scientific experiments. They will be required to keep a neat lab notebook. Assignments are to be turned in even if the student is absent.
Topics will include atoms, molecules, air, water, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, weather, motion, forces in creation, sound, and light.
The lab grade counts for 30% of the course grade. This grade is not to be used as their overall Physical Science course grade, since it will only reflect work done on the labs, not on reading and tests. Students are to read the modules in the textbook at home on the same schedule as the lab syllabus. Parents are responsible for grading all text work (tests, study guides, on-you-own questions) and textbook progress will be checked at the end of each semester.

Supply and Textbook Requirements:
Understanding the Times (9th-12th) prepares young believers to defend a Christian worldview against other belief systems. This curriculum is designed to help high school students clearly understand the tenets of the Christian worldview, and how they compare to that of the leading humanistic worldviews of our day. Students will learn how to apply their Christian faith to every area of life: theology, philosophy, ethics, biology, sociology, psychology, law, politics, economics, and history. Some of the issues covered include abortion, apologetics, cults, evolution, feminism, homosexuality, naturalism, moral relativism, pluralism, relationships, socialism, and many more. By the end of this course, the student will become self-aware of their own personal worldview, as well as properly articulate all facets of their Christian faith. They will be fully equipped to apologetically defend the truths of the Gospel, and battle against the vain, fruitless teachings of worldly philosophy. The topics discussed are challenging, and the confidence in Christ they will gain is invaluable as we will all seek to cement our trust in Christ as the only solid foundation on which we stand.
Different Every Year! This course keeps the central focus of developing a student’s biblical worldview at its core, but its material will change each semester to cover different themes. This means that new students will always be welcome, but this class is also open to returning students to continue developing their faith, arming themselves with more tools in their toolbelt to combat our culture. It is divided as such:

- Students will always maintain a respectful mindset towards the teacher, and the others around them as we will often be discussing heavy (and sometimes sensitive) topics
