Economics (fall semester) 

According to Richard Maybury, “Beware of anyone who tells you a topic is above you or better left to experts. Many people are twice as smart as they think they are, but they’ve been intimidated into believing some topics are above them. You can understand almost anything if it is explained well.”

In the fall semester, we will cover an award-winning book that includes economics, explanation of money and its origin, investment cycles, recessions, economic behavior in government and more.  Why does economics matter?  How do economics influence our everyday decisions?  We will use the book Whatever Happened to Penny Candy by Richard Maybury and more resources that will be provided by the teacher!  Some work will be done in class, while additional work may be done at home. Homework will be assigned in Google Classroom. All questions should be texted to the teacher directly via text/phone call and not in Google Classroom.

Introduction to Psychology from a Christian Perspective (9-12) Mistie Angelo

 

 

Why should your child take Psychology? Psychology is a Social Science, and Social Science courses help create the well-rounded transcript colleges seek. Many college majors require Psychology, and it is good to have a Christian foundation in psychology, particularly before experiencing it at a college (perhaps secular) level. The curriculum for this class was written by Vicki Tillman, MA (a homeschooling mom and practicing licensed professional counselor). This fun and no-busywork text from a Christian worldview helps students to appreciate God’s handiwork and also be prepared for career or college settings.

This is a .5-credit, average high school level one-semester course.
