As a High Schooler, your student is looking not just at next year, but at their whole future: Am I going to college? Trade school? Taking time off? What season comes next? Sonlight has designed your High School level programs to be flexible for a range of grade levels to ensure your student covers all of the subjects they need for whatever they are pursuing. Look at your history options and choose a program that will fulfill college requirements or just keeps your student interested in learning. Any one of these programs will provide an excellent year of study.

Start by selecting the program that covers the history focus you'd like to use this year. Because you'll teach with real books, each Sonlight program works with a range of ages and allows you to teach multiple children together.

10th Grade History / Bible Programs

Looking ahead at your student's transcript, what programs do they still need? American History? Church History / World History? 20th Century World History? Let's look at each of these courses more in depth.

For high school credit consider:

American History: Dig deep into American history as you move chronologically through the ages. Look at periods like the empires that existed before Columbus; the founding fathers; WWI; and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. While you may have touched on these periods before, it’s an opportunity to delve deeper into these subjects. Many states require American History to graduate, you can use this program to satisfy that requirement.

History of the Christian Church / World History: A look at traditional Church History; with the added benefit of studying history and interactions from around the world through this unique lens. Many states require World History to graduate, you can use this program to satisfy that requirement.

20th Century World History: Learn the key events, people, conflicts, inventions and changes of the last century. You'll have the opportunity to evaluate it for what it is, why it happened as it did and where we are headed now. Many states require World History to graduate, you can use this program to satisfy that requirement.

If you need more options, Sonlighters have also successfully used either World History, part 2 (level H) or History of Science (level J) for their tenth grade year.

Start with the History / Bible / Literature program of your choice and add additional subjects. History / Bible / Literature programs can be used with multiple children. All History / Bible / Literature programs include a 15% discount off of retail.

Sonlight's Homeschool High School Lesson Plans - Instructor's GuidesSonlight's Homeschool High School Lesson Plans - Instructor's Guides

Lesson Plans

At the high school levels, we have designed the lesson plans, our Instructor's Guides, to move you into more of a supportive role. The notes in the Instructor's Guides (IGs) are written to the students, and each high school program includes both a Parent Guide and a Student Guide.

The Student Guide contains discussion and thought questions. Some questions cover basic comprehension, and some are closer to college-level analysis. The Parent Guide contains all the same information, along with answers.

So, while you still receive the book-by-book, and subject-by-subject schedule and notes, the tool matches your family's needs for the high school season.

Your student will be able to work independently for much of the time and you are able to choose when and how you would like to work with them.

IGs are included with your History / Bible and Literature / Language Arts or All-Subjects Packages. Use them for record keeping, a daily schedule, notes, or any combination of the three. At the high school level, your Apologia Science program comes with a Student Notebook or Sonlight Schedule Plus which provides a daily schedule and introduces your student to notetaking and recording their scientific findings.

Sonlight's Homeschool High School Lesson Plans - Literature/Language Arts CoursesSonlight's Homeschool High School Lesson Plans - Literature/Language Arts Courses

Literature / Language Arts

Within our high school levels, we no longer have separate Language Arts Guides that are connected to History. Our numbered levels have History and Bible combined, and Literature and Language Arts combined.

As your students read the literature, they will spend some time on comprehension questions and continue to look in-depth at literary analysis and deeper thought questions: What does this text reference? What do you think of this character's actions?

Your student will continue to learn terms like symbol and allegory, think through ethical questions, and build their cultural literacy. Their writing assignments mostly come from their reading.
