Part of The American Civics Curriculum
How the five parts work together
I · ReadThe Forgotten Realm
II · WorkThe Civil Realm
II · Teach · This bookTeacher’s Edition
III · VerifyExam Pack
IV · The sourcesFoundations in LibertyLead every session without separate preparation
Few teachers have studied the civil realm at this level before they teach it. The Teacher’s Edition is made for that: it is a complete copy of the Student Text with the answers in place, so you can lead each session and learn as you go.
With the syllabus, every session’s reading is laid out in advance. Open the book, follow the plan, and the semester unfolds — for a homeschool of one or a classroom of thirty.
