About this Curriculum
Why it was written
This curriculum was written by a homeschool mom. She said, “As I have watched the chaos in the world the past decade, I am more determined than ever that my children be prepared to face the future. Knowing that if they pursue higher education, they will be thrust into evolutionary, anti-Christian worldviews, one of my primary focuses at home is apologetics and making sure my children have a firm foundation and ability to defend their faith. To this end, my first curriculum is Pacific Northwest History from an apologetics, creation-based perspective.“
Non-Denominational
This curriculum was written from a Christian, non-denominational perspective. The content will appeal to people of most religious faiths. While it was being written, the lessons were taught weekly to twelve children ages 6-14. The families were from a variety of religious backgrounds, including Baptist, Catholic, Seventh-day Adventist, and other Protestant denominations. All families enjoyed the curriculum.
Contents
This curriculum begins with the worldwide flood and continues chronologically to the present day. Events are presented from a balanced perspective. When there are conflicts, there are always two sides to the conflict, and this curriculum includes information from both sides to help children understand why people acted as they did.

“For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
