There are many excellent curricula available, and often the choice between them is much like choosing between a Ford, Chrysler, or Toyota – they are all going to get you where you need to go, so it boils down to a matter of style and personal preference. Some of the leading homeschool curricula include (and these recommendations do not necessarily mean that WallBuilders agrees with everything taught in these curricula):

• Alpha and Omega
• Classical Historian
• Declaration Statesmanship (Government)
• The Land of Fair Play (Citizenship)
• Masterbooks (elementary only)
• Notgrass History
• My Father’s World
• Rod and Staff
• Sonlight

WallBuilders offers a large variety of YouTube videos that are great for classroom use! The One Room Schoolhouse episodes are educational and entertaining and often provide teachers and students with a glimpse of some of the original artifacts housed in our collection.

WallBuilders does have some curricula options available covering certain aspects of American history and government. These can be great supplemental resources as well.

There are several good institutions of higher learning whose educational approach is not only academically excellent but is also consistent with moral, religious, and constitutional values.

There is no substitute for immersing oneself in original, primary source material if one hopes to understand American history. However, it is also useful (and enjoyable) to read books about great American leaders and events. The Recommended Reading List is far from comprehensive, but it includes works that we have found to be helpful.

18-25 year old students have a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience and study original historical documents from our incredible collection, as well as receive specialized teaching and instruction that will assist them in their academic careers.
