    Hello families,

    I’ve asked various questions on this forum, and have been blessed by the many suggestions I’ve received. This recent question is one that I still struggle with, which is why I am asking again.

    I’ve searched in the archives of this forum and haven’t found a suggestion for this (maybe it’s here and I haven’t searched properly?). We did some of Ancient History last year using Mystery of History volume 1, which goes up until the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (about 33 A.D.). In my excitement to go with SCM, I purchased the SCM module 3 (Matthew-Acts: Ancient Rome), thinking that it would be a good place to continue with our History studies. However, I’m trying to figure out if that is going to be enough for high school credit for my daughter in 9th grade? We are homeschooling our children in 4th, 7th, and 9th grades, and would like to keep them doing History together, if at all possible. If we need to have our 9th grade daughter do the guides separately for high school, then we are not opposed to that. We just need to prepare the appropriate credits for her (1 U.S. History, 2 Social Studies-which includes 0.5 each for econ/gov’t). We are in TN. Will starting in Ancient Rome be the right path for her, or do we need to start somewhere else? Thank you in advance for sharing. God bless!

    Blessings, Jackie in TN

    Hi Jackie,

    Are the credits you listed what you have to have for 9th grade? Does she need to be in US History, Econ, and Government just for 9th grade, and then (presumably) they would move on to a different history credit for grades 10,11,12, etc?

    If those credits need to be included some time during the high school years, here’s how I see grades 9-12 playing out:

    • Grade 9: Matthew-Acts and Ancient Rome (1 credit world history/social studies [assuming you use the new version of the lesson plans; they have a little more high school content than the first edition does])

    • Grade 10: Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation & Epistles (1 credit world history/social studies)

    • Grade 11: Early Modern & Epistles (1/2 credit world history; 1/2 credit American history)

    • Grade 12: Modern Times & Epistles, Revelation (1/2 credit world history; 1/2 credit American history)

    • We also recommend you do the Notgrass government course some time during Grades 11 and 12, either some each year or all of it during one of those years. (1/2 credit government)

    So that would total up to 3 credits world history/social studies, 1 credit American history, 1/2 credit government. You could toss in a couple of Uncle Eric books on economics if you want to, since that is specifically mentioned.

    Does that help?

    ServingwithJoy, the credits are for all 4 years of high school, not just 9th grade. The gov’t/econ credits usually fall in either 11th or 12th grade. Thanks to you and Sonya for responding to my lengthy question! God bless!

    Blessings, Jackie in TN
