Stewardship
An Essential Financial Literacy Course for High School Students
In a culture where young people are constantly targeted by debt-driven marketing, instant gratification, and financial misinformation, students need more than basic math skills; they need wisdom.
There is a significant gap in practical financial education for teens, and Stewardship aims to fill that gap with biblical-based and practical knowledge by equipping your child with the practical skills, biblical perspective, and financial confidence needed to make wise decisions and step into adulthood with a meaningful head start in planning and managing their resources.
Stewardship is a 36-week, biblically grounded personal finance curriculum for students 15 and up. The course combines practical math skills for daily living with principles of Christian stewardship. Drawing on real-life examples from his own life, Steve Demme encourages students to make wise decisions about the resources God has entrusted to them. The program encourages providing ample opportunity for parents to have frank conversations with their students about finances before they leave home. The course also includes daily Bible readings that connect personal finance with faith.
The Consumer Math Topics include:
- Banking & Checking Budgeting
- Credit Cards
- Comparison Shopping

Science K - Updates
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are designed to give students meaningful, coherent science learning goals that build year by year by combining three dimensions — scientific and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts. With this approach, students learn science the way it’s actually done in the real world rather than through memorization alone.
In Kindergarten, NGSS goals focus on helping young learners begin to make sense of the natural and designed world through patterns and phenomena they can observe and investigate.
The Science K program experiments have been re-ordered and edited to match the current Next Generation Standards. Updated items include:
- Science K Instructor's Guides (#KSG & #KSG4)
- Discover & Do: Kindergarten Science Experiment Book (#KS17)
- Discover & Do: Kindergarten Science Experiment Videos (#KS2D)
- Discover & Do: Kindergarten Science Experiment Paper Packet (#KSKP)
- Discover & Do: Kindergarten Science Supplies Kit (#KSK)
Psychology - NEW Edition
Latest Edition Updates (4th Edition)
The most recent iteration of Myers’ Psychology for the AP® Course has been updated to reflect changes in the AP® Psychology curriculum and overall course framework:
Alignment with the Latest AP® Course Framework
- The textbook has been redesigned to fully align with the current AP Psychology Course and Exam Description. This ensures the content directly maps to what the College Board tests.
New Unit Structure
- A new Unit 0 has been added that focuses on foundational science practices like research methods and data interpretation — skills that are now emphasized in the AP course.
Enhanced AP® Skills Development
- The latest edition includes features and activities aimed at helping students apply psychological concepts, think critically, and master skills tested on the AP exam.
Expanded Authorship
- Alongside David G. Myers and C. Nathan DeWall, this edition brings in Elizabeth Yost Hammer, who has experience with the AP® reading and exam scoring process — contributing perspective on how to better prepare students for exam expectations.
Module-Based Organization
- Content is broken into short, bite-sized modules that align with the 5 main units of the AP® course. Each module has clear learning targets and corresponding review material. This structure supports pacing and makes exam prep more manageable.
How These Enhancements Strengthen Learning:
- Better Exam Coverage – Alignment with the newest AP® Course and Exam Description means you’re studying exactly what’s likely to be tested.
- Stronger Skill Development – Greater emphasis on scientific thinking and data analysis reflects changes in how the AP® exam tests conceptual skills.
- More Accessible Structure – Module breakdowns and clear learning targets help students focus on one concept at a time — which is especially helpful for self-study or unit tests.
