History is the written record of mankind; but only as it is studied as “His story,” can we really learn the principles and life lessons it has for us. When your child is shown the rise and fall of nations and individuals as they respond to God’s truth, the stories of the history of the world will begin to make sense. His Abeka Academy video teacher will take him, along with his video classmates, through the exciting halls of history to meet the Egyptians and their pyramids, Rome and its empire, Johann Gutenberg and his printing press, America and the Industrial Era, the World Wars, and more. He will also study geography, helping him to understand history even better because it tells us about the places where history has happened. As your child becomes acquainted with the students on the video, he will feel as though he is a part of the class. The teacher will even pause to allow “students watching” opportunity to participate during reviews, geography drills, etc.
The prerecorded online video streaming or DVDs give you the flexibility to set your own daily schedule. The video lease provides a full 12 months to complete the 170 lessons and 6 months to complete 85 lessons for a semester. You also have the option to purchase either the Video & Books or Video (for those who may already have some of the materials and wish to purchase individual items separately). A video manual is provided with either option to help you stay on track with the video teacher. Also, record-keeping progress reports are included with both options to document your child’s progress through the school year.
The Unaccredited program allows for more course flexibility and relies solely on the home teacher to keep track of student records. With this option, academic assistance is accessible through email, live chat, or phone. Conveniently view our Homeschool Agreement before purchase to understand the requirements.
