HISTORY & GEOGRAPHY

An exciting condensed introduction to American History

History & Geography 3+4 contains the best-of-the-best resources from our Core 3 and Core 4 History programs, taking you and your children on a broad sweep through American history—from the Spanish conquistadors to the present day—in a single year.

  • Journey to exciting, unknown lands with Christopher Columbus, the Pilgrims, and Lewis and Clark.
  • Discover how America's founding fathers wrote one of America's most important documents, the Constitution.
  • Experience the Great Depression with a young girl and her family as financial hardship leads to the imminent loss of their home. Or will the girl's brave letter to President Roosevelt's wife save their home and their dignity?

And there's more...

Daniel Boorstin's esteemed work, Landmark History of the American People, along with 10 other timeless books, will give your children practical understanding of racial issues, mass immigration, women's suffrage, the labor movement and the Great Depression and how these issues impacted the social, political, economic and spiritual climate of the United States today.

History & Geography 3+4 thoroughly integrates with the Read-Alouds 3+4, and Readers 3+4 programs to bring American history to life for your children.
