one year world history & one year american history

Have you looked at Ambleside? They typically schedule American and World together.

Yes, BF just came out with Modern American and World History. We received our box of books last week and they look great! This study covers 1860-now and is intended for 5th-8th grade. They do have a high school American and World, but it’s intended as a two year study.

We’ve used the G. Foster books and they’re good. However, I think trying to read all of them in one year may be a bit much.

What age(s) are your student(s)?

The Beautiful Feet highschool US and World history is being rewritten currently. Here’s my email conversation with BF, start at the bottom. I’m not trying to sell you on the BF study, just give you updated info.

Hi Christie,

Exactly. The two existing years of the US & World will be combined into one year. We will be dropping 15 or so of the existing books and adding in a couple new titles.

The reading load will be similar in the new study but with more age-appropriate literature. Many of the titles in the current study are not high school level.

A recommended 9-12 study sequence would be:
9th – Ancient history
10th – Medieval history
11th – US & World Modern
12th – A government and economics course. We carry a government course by Zeezok called A Noble Experiment which is a one-semester high school study. And we’ll soon be carrying Zeezok’s Economics course designed for high school.
Keep in mind this sequence can be altered. You could use the Medieval either 10th or 11th, and the Zeezok studies in either 10th, 11th, or 12th depending on your preference. The new US & World study should be completed in either 11th or 12th as it will be our most demanding in terms of reading, content, comprehension, and writing.

Hope that helps!

Best,
Josh

Josh,
Just to be clear, the 2 US/World high school guides that are 1 year each are being combined into 1 study guide that is for only one year of study? Is the load increasing or are books/assignments being dropped?

What would be a recommended course of study for 9th – 12th grades?
Thanks,

Christie

Hi Christie,

Thanks for contacting us! We are currently revising our US & World for high school as well as our History of Science study. We hope to have the US & World available by the end of summer. It is a full revision in that we’re combining the two years into one, updating book lists, create a brand-new study guide, etc. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions!
Best,
