Answers Bible Curriculum (Homeshool)

Description

Teaching the whole counsel of God's Word through Answers in Genesis 7 C's of History, the Answers Bible Curriculum Homeschool Edition teaches children about God's trustworthiness, His attributes, and the ultimate plan of salvation, covering the Old and New Testament over four years. The goal of the curriculum is for families to study the Scriptures together. Lessons are age-appropriate to equip children to defend their beliefs and apply the Bible to their lives. Teaching time varies from 25-45 minutes per week, with independent student activity pages scheduled. The ESV Bible is utilized. There are two core components for each year: The all-in-one Teacher Guide and the Student Workbook. There is an optional grade-level Test Book and Answer Key. Additionally, there are recommended posters to supplement the teaching. Posters are available separately or packaged together in the Teacher Guide (with Extras) Bundle. Also included with purchase of the Teacher Guide with Extras Bundle are supplemental online resources. Online resources are for a lifetime, but only for the level purchased.
