Year 1: American – History is best understood through the dual lenses of dramatic story and godly wisdom. Dave Raymond gives a comprehensive history of the United States by applying a Christian worldview to the characters, events, theology, literature, art, and religious beliefs of the nation.
Year 2: Modernity – Dave turns his attention to the period of Modernity and the maturity of Western civilization. Students will learn how to apply and refine a Christian worldview to major developments in philosophy, science, and government; personalities such as Newton, Bach, Napoleon, and Austen; and movements including the Enlightenment, Darwinism, Nationalism, and Victorianism.
Year 3: Antiquity – Dave begins with Genesis, then traces world history all the way to the life of Christ. This incredible series synthesizes the events recorded in the Bible with ancient history, showing clearly how God’s providence directed the ancient world.
Year 4: Christendom – Dave starts with the resurrection of Christ and ends with the Reformation and English Civil War. Students will discover the compelling stories of emperors, monks, barbarians, and battles, while traveling through medieval history alongside St. Benedict, Charlemagne, Alfred the Great, Genghis Khan, and more. Learn how Christianity spread and influenced everything from art to government to science, and find out why the Middle Ages weren’t so dark after all.

How do I calculate for high school credit?
HSLDA recommends spending approximately 150 hours on a subject to qualify for high school credit. This is how Dave Raymond’s classes generally break down to achieve that credit. Some students will spend more time in some areas and some will spend less, but there is clearly enough different types of work to qualify for full high school credit:
American History:
* The reader includes 372 pages of original historical materials. It increases in length as the year progresses. For example, Part 1 is 150 pages and Part 2 is 222 pages. If additional reading is desired for older students, we include recommendations for that.
**If a parent desires to do two or more thesis papers for older students, that is perfectly acceptable and will only increase the amount of time spent in the class.
Modernity:
* The reader includes 400 pages of original historical materials. It increases in length as the year progresses. For example, Part 1 is 150 pages and Part 2 is 250 pages. If additional reading is desired for older students, we include recommendations for that.
**If a parent desires to do two or more thesis papers for older students, that is perfectly acceptable and will only increase the amount of time spent in the class.
Antiquity:
* The reader includes over 220 pages of original historical materials. It increases in length as the year progresses. For example, Lessons in the first semester comprise approximately 90 pages while those in the second comprise approximately 130 pages. If additional reading is desired for older students, we include recommendations for that.
**If a parent desires to do two or more thesis papers for older students, that is perfectly acceptable and will only increase the amount of time spent in the class.
Christendom:
* The reader includes a few hundred pages of original historical materials. It increases in length as the year progresses. If additional reading is desired for older students, we include recommendations for that.
**If a parent desires to do two or more thesis papers for older students, that is perfectly acceptable and will only increase the amount of time spent in the class.
