Intimidated by homeschooling high school? You don’t have to be! We've done the planning for you with High School Lesson Plans: Truth Trek series.

This one-year high school-level curriculum provides lesson plans for eight high school subjects from which you can choose: Bible, Modern World History, English, Advanced Science (Biology II: Anatomy or Astrophysics), Math (Pre-Calculus or Calculus), Philosophy (1 semester), and Visual/Performing Arts (Music and/or Filmmaking). As this is the final year of our program, it is a year of options. To accommodate for learning style differences, we offer two curriculum options for science, math, and humanities. This guide includes lesson plans for each option. Please note that if you do not use Dave Raymond’s Modernity, these lesson plans will not provide the composition you need for English credit because the composition assignments within our Truth Trek 4 Guide are assigned from Dave Raymond's Modernity.

• Combined Modern World History, Bible, & English credit (full year, 3 Credits): Modern World History: Dave Raymond’s Modernity (video-based) with the following British Literature. Our Truth Trek Lesson Plans include the British literature and composition assignments to provide a corresponding literature credit.

Each week consists of four days of instructions for students and wraps up with a “Co-op or Parent Meeting Day” that walks parents or co-op teachers through a discussion of the current week’s topics and confirms that the student understands the material. To download a sample, click here.

For families with children in Grades 1-8, you can either use the Mission Faith Forgers program which incorporates corresponding world history themes at the elementary and middle school levels, or the Mission Lasting Liberty Program which incorporates American history during the age of modernity. This provides a unified approach to teaching and learning in the home as all students in Grades 1-12 study similar content areas. To provide students in Grades 1-8 with a corresponding science, we recommend Our Universe from God’s Design for Heaven and Earth if your high schooler is taking Astrophysics or The Human Body from God’s Design for Life if your high schooler is taking Anatomy & Physiology.
