Kaylee's High School Curriculum



Kaylee has been using My Father's World's Ancient History & Literature this year. It is a High School unit study that integrates Bible, English & History. It has been very interesting & challenging. We have weekly meetings to go over what she is working on & have very neat discussions from Taking the New Testament Challenge. It is a very self led program & that is right up Kaylee's alley. :) She is a very motivated student & is doing great with this curriculum. :) Here is a link with more details & also the yearly schedule: http://www.mfwbooks.com/highschool-ahl.html
