  • 14: Steadfast Curriculum for High School
    May 12 2025

    You can provide your high school students with a full, rich education in history and humanities at home. All you need is a good curriculum to guide you, and ⁠Steadfast Press⁠ is the place to start. It’s a comprehensive curriculum that covers everything a high schooler needs besides math and science, wrapped up entirely with a biblical worldview: history (both world and American), geography, composition, literature, government, philosophy, Bible, worldview, political theory, and apologetics. In fact, when a student completes all four years of Steadfast, ⁠they will receive 18 high school credits.⁠ All you need to add is science and math. And along the way, your students trace the thread of history from creation to 21st century postmodernism. Listen as Nicki interviews Jennifer and Carol, the creators of Steadfast.
