7th Grade History / Bible / Literature Programs
Because of Sonlight's unique focus on history, you'll first choose which history program you want to choose and then build the rest of your seventh grade from there.
This year you can choose to study:
American History: get introduced to the "go-getters" that explored, expanded, and brought people together to create a country unlike anything seen before in the "old world" of Europe. You can either study American History from the Civil War forward or, do a single-year full American History overview.
Eastern Hemisphere: while exploring Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the South Pacific, you'll see where a huge percentage of the world's population, and ninety percent of all unevangelized people, call home. A stand-out program from Sonlight, this is the year to study a part of the world that likely looks very different from your home.
Ancient History: examine the connected flow of human history, from creation through the 1600s; the 1600s to the present, or, a combined year from creation to the present around the world.
Sonlight's seventh grade is an opportunity to help your children understand the world today by seeing how we got to where we are. It will help them understand their own and other's cultures by seeing the connections between civilizations around the world and throughout time.

Additional 7th Grade Subjects
A Sonlight All-Subjects Package comes with everything that you need for a complete school year. However, if you choose to purchase a History / Bible / Literature program only, you may want to add additional subjects to complete your year.
The transition to a more formal education doesn't have to be overwhelming. With Sonlight's literature-rich homeschool curriculum and easy-to-use schedules, you are setting yourself up for a great seventh grade year. Enjoy traveling the globe with the turn of a page!
Science
In Science G - Geology, Physics, and Origins, your children will take time to explore earth science, evolution and intelligent design, and chemistry. Included experiments cover practical chemistry and deepen the experience for your children.
Starting in 7th grade, Sonlight also offers Apologia science as an option. This year we schedule Apologia's General Science, which provides a wonderful overview of the entire range of scientific inquiry.
This course is designed for use by homeschoolers and includes topics like a brief history of science; the scientific method; how to interpret experiments; the distinction between science, applied science, and much more. It is written with the interests and concerns of evangelical Christians at the center.
Both programs include the unique items that you need to perform the hands-on experiments and student exercises included in each program.
Choose the matching 7th Grade Science level (Science G or Apologia General Science) or browse other available Science programs and see what you could discover.
Math
This year, Sonlight includes Math-U-See's Pre-Algebra in our 7th Grade All-Subject package. Pre-Algebra covers things like negative numbers, order of operations, solving for the unknown, and other topics. Your student will learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide with negative numbers. They will also learn about whole numbers; integers, the number line, exponents, and place values.
Math-U-See is included in Sonlight's All-Subjects Packages, but you can customize as desired.
Language Arts
Emerging writers have many opportunities to practice and refine skills. They'll continue to imitate the best writers, explore the ins and outs of literary analysis, practice proper grammar, establish good mechanics, edit their work, and let the creativity flow by writing mysteries, fairy tales, and more.
Sonlight links Language Arts instruction and assignments to the History / Bible / Literature program at this level, so every assignment reinforces what your students are learning. All of your seventh grade Language Arts assignments are laid out in our Language Arts Instructor's Guide.
If your children would benefit from another level, check out all of Sonlight's Language Arts options here.
Hands-On
Help reinforce and document your students’ History studies and provide evidence of learning. This lap book both increases your students’ understanding of history and offers evidence of learning ... plus it makes learning fun!
We provide all of the instructions and materials so your child can independently build their own history book. Our lap books are specifically designed to complement Sonlight’s history programs and they are scheduled as optional activities for our History / Bible / Literature levels D, E, G, and H.
Both programs include the unique items that you need to perform the hands-on experiments and student exercises included in each program.
Electives & Enrichment
Once you've picked out your essential homeschool subjects, add some additional enrichment that's both fun and educational. Sonlight offers a wide range of electives, enrichment products, and hands-on activities to round out your school year. Choose from art, music, foreign language, STEM, puzzles, games, computer programming, just great books, and more.
