Social Studies Curriculum

We spent quite a bit of time trying to find the best social studies curriculum. As an eighth grader, my son was learning American History when he was in public school. He wanted to stick with the same type of chronological format and he said he would prefer to use textbooks or workbooks, rather than anything Internet-based or DVD.

I received a lot of recommendations for LIFEPAC from Alpha Omega, and they offered exactly what we were looking for. The program uses 10 workbooks, plus a teacher's guide. The price is very reasonable, and the especially nice thing is that you can purchase just the workbooks you need.

Since we were starting near the end of the year, I was able to purchase the book that corresponds to the lessons he was working on in public school. What a wonderful idea! Lifepac has other k-12 curriculum, designed to teach the core subjects, plus a variety of electives.
