Half Year Course – Fall; 90 minutes
The author states: “Exploring Government is a one-semester high school course. Lessons cover Federal, state, and local government and also contemporary issues in government. Special emphasis is placed on the Biblical basis for government and on the U.S. Constitution. Each of the fifteen units is intended to be studied for one week. As we understand the background, basis, and operation of American government on all levels, we are better equipped to remain prayerful, thoughtful, and involved with regard to government.” (Note: This course is designed for students in grades 9-12.)
