7th Grade Core Curriculum

Great Christian Adventures

In this Literature course for 7th grade, students will read three classic works of literature written from a Christian perspective, including a historical fiction account of the life of Christ (Titus: A Comrade of the Cross), a novel (The Swiss Family Robinson), and a classic missionary biography (The Life of Henry Martyn).

History’s Heroes

Pick up a textbook on World History and you will find one major recurring theme. Such and such a nation rose to power. And the same nation eventually declined into obscurity. And then another nation or kingdom rose to power. And it too declined, and it became another footnote on the pages of history. The story of Christ’s kingdom is very different. Nations rise and nations fall. But the kingdom of Jesus lasts forever. Become a front-row spectator in this grand triumph of God’s people against Satan’s kingdom. And even though the church faces persecution, suffering, and sometimes even a decline in numbers, the kingdom of Christ marches on. The gates of Hell will not be able to prevail against the onslaught of Christ and His disciples against the forces of spiritual darkness.

What Does the Bible Say About That?

In this exciting new worldview curriculum for children, Kevin Swanson presents the very basics of a Biblical worldview for children. At some point, every child needs to see the “forest from the trees.” This introduction to a biblical worldview will help kids make sense of the world around them, and it shows them the big picture of God’s truth in the Bible. Presented in a simple, engaging way, this study guide provides a basic introduction to truth, ethics, origins, causality, anthropology, sociology, family, church, civil government, education, economics, defense, crime, and charity. Workbook assignments, games, puzzles, and more are included at the end of each chapter.
