Travel back in time and explore U.S. history and patriotic symbols from a Christian perspective with fascinating stories, hands-on activities, a timeline, and a student created history notebook. Also includes U.S. geography, Bible, science, art, music and more. After completing Adventures, begin the Five-Year Cycle.

2nd or 3rd graders with older siblings should skip Adventures and go directly into the Five-Year Cycle, joining in their siblings' current program. This ensures that a parent does not have to teach two different programs for 2nd - 8th graders.

1. Begin with Year One with all 2nd-8th graders if your oldest is 4th grade or older. (K-1st graders may participate in some of the easier activities for a low-key exposure to topics.) Begin with Adventures in My Father's World if your oldest is 2nd or 3rd grade.
2. Continue through the five-year cycle. When younger children reach 2nd grade, they will join their older siblings in the family cycle, using the same year the other children are using. This unifies the family and assures that Mom is only teaching one of the five-year cycle programs each year. (Younger children can easily join mid-cycle because they have already been exposed to the earlier years as a part of the family.)
3. When you finish Year Five, go back to Year One and cycle through Years One-Five with all of your children who have not reached 9th grade. A 7th or 8th grader will repeat, on a more advanced level, the years he was taught as a younger child.
4. When a child reaches 9th grade, he is ready for independent work in our high school program.
