Grades 9-12 Exploring World History

Complete High School World History Curriculum

Are you looking for a world history curriculum for your high school student that is complete and easy to use? Exploring World History covers all periods of history—ancient, medieval, and modern—from the perspective of faith in God and respect for His Word. It offers a thorough survey of Western civilization with significant coverage of Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

Who Can Use It

Author Ray Notgrass designed the curriculum for students to use successfully anytime in high school--9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, or 12th grade. It combines the flexibility and richness of a literature-based unit study approach with the simplicity of a textbook-based approach.

Daily lessons guide your student through the history of the world, highlighting key events, people, and places. With the lessons already planned, your student can use the curriculum independently.

TABLE OF CONTENTS: HERE

The Homeschool Curriculum Package includes:

• Part 1: Creation Through the Middle Ages (first semester)
• Part 2: The Renaissance to the Present (second semester)
• In Their Words: Original Documents, Speeches, Poems, and Stories from World History (assigned readings)

NOTE: We recommend twelve works of literature that complement the lessons in Exploring World History. These books are not essential for understanding the lessons, but each one adds a valuable perspective on a different time period. Reading the literature is part of earning the English credit. If your student has already read one of the assigned books, or you want to choose a different book for any reason, you can substitute a different book. The literature books are NOT included in the package but may be available online, at your local library or local bookstore.
