Core 400

Discover the vast richness of the "American experiment!"

Unearth the rich heritage of American Government and Literature. This year your students will travel to battlefields and back rooms to discover the people, places and events that shaped the Constitution of the United States.

Their study of the greatest works of American literature will provide depth and color as well as many hours of excitement along the way. Your students will be delighted to see the hand of God so evident at every turn, in the establishment, growth, and preservation of this, "one Nation under God."

INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDE

Take the guesswork out of teaching your older students!

Your Core 400 curriculum is primarily designed to be an independent study for your older students. The Core 400 Instructor's Guide will chart their course and keep them on track as they learn the disciplines of consistent daily academic excellence.

Through open discussion, notes in the Instructor's Guide, and the weekly schedule chart, you will be able to monitor their progress.

You'll love the fact that:

  • Every day, every lesson—for an entire year—is planned.
  • You won't have to stress out every night trying to keep up with lesson planning or correcting homework.
  • You'll rest easy knowing that your kids are receiving some of the best preparations for college and life beyond high school.
  • Your students are learning how to teach themselves and manage their own learning disciplines.

Since Core 400 is largely self-guided, you will be able to serve your family in other ways.

HISTORY/CIVICS

Explore the inner corridors of American government!

Toss out the textbooks! This year 5 fresh, well-written, and easy to understand learning resources will guide your student’s discoveries. They'll study 60 pages of primary source documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution itself. Along the way they'll uncover the Biblical roots of our American system.

You'll also:

  • Expose the first president who approved unconstitutional conduct to achieve a goal that he believed was best for the country.
  • Sorrow as they discover how presidents and politicians have chipped away at the Constitution for over 100 years.
  • Understand (contrary to journalists and politicians) that the United States of America is not a democracy.
  • Discover how historical events of the past 200 years have altered America's understanding of the Constitution.
  • Learn how socialism quietly entered and quickly entrenched itself into our American system.
  • Uncover a simple plan to restore constitutional government.
  • And much more...

Through the use of the Core 400 Instructor's Guide, Civics/American Government totally integrates with your Bible/Apologetics program.

BIBLE

Examine civil government through the lens of the Bible!

Students of Core 400 Bible will discover the foundations of American law and civil government in the Bible as they study two great guides, Institutes of Biblical Law and Tools of Dominion: The Case Laws of Exodus. They'll be challenged to overcome the politically correct view that government should be devoid of religious truth.

AMERICAN LITERATURE

Prepare them to confront their culture!

  • Well-paced, our Literature 400 program will introduce your students to Biblical and historical themes as well as advanced-level American literature.
  • Your students will read 29 great books this year as they learn to analyze, understand and confront our culture from a confident, compassionate, biblical perspective.
  • We intersperce modern classics with older works to keep your student's interest.
