Great Videos and Projects
I really enjoyed the videos that are linked with the lessons. The reading is pretty heavy but if you stay on top of it and do the review questions while you read it’s not too hard. I do really like the perspective from which the textbooks are written. The budget project for the economics course was really eye opening.
This course should be required for all high school students!
We were originally introduced to Basic American Government as a product review, but by the end of the first lesson, I knew this was a program I was adding in for my two high school students. Methodical and using an easy-to-understand format, this course dives deep into the origins of our country and its government and shows how quickly we fell away – not to mention how far we have continued to spiral.
With a mix of reading and video, plus review elements that are both handwritten and computerized, American Government helps to teach to multiple learning styles and can easily be completed independently by high school students.
However, I do recommend going through this course with your children – not just for how much you can learn, but so you can have amazing conversations with them about the material and the current state of affairs.
After completing this American Government course with my two oldest students, I know that we will be back when the other two are ready because we have found the gold standard for American Government in Boundary Stone’s course.
Even better than we hoped for
I am a middle school teacher who also homeschooled our son for his senior year. I looked at several government and economics curriculum selections, but we chose Boundary Stone for several reasons. First, he is a visual learner and wanted something online. This turned out to be a great choice, because he especially appreciated the videos that are a part of both courses. Second, he said that the course was thorough, yet easy to navigate. Third, from a teacher/parent perspective, I felt utterly confident that the instruction would line up with our values and provide a solid foundation of government and economics for him to grow with. I was not disappointed! In fact, I now want to go back through the course myself and relearn government and economics from a solid Biblical worldview. Lastly, considering our current national & political challenges, I am more glad than ever that we chose this course for our son so he can be a properly informed citizen.
