Keystone & Explore Our Past | Pennsylvania History Curriculum

Two Courses to Study PA History—For Elementary and Middle School

If you use a textbook approach and want to satisfy the requirement of the PA homeschool law for teaching Pennsylvania history, then we recommend these books.
It is a traditional textbook course, and no additional books are needed unless you want to supplement your study with literature.
Keystone meets the Pennsylvania state standards for a middle school Pennsylvania history text (not to be confused with common core state standards).
It is a secular-based Pennsylvania history course.
Explore Our Past!, also by Guy Graybill, is a history of Pennsylvania written for the elementary level.

Item #0974703907B

Keystone, A History of Pennsylvania is historically accurate with beautiful pictures, most of which were taken by the author. There are pictures from every county in the commonwealth. Most of them were photographed by the author before he retired while traveling for his work.

Note: This curriculum mentions evolution and is not written from a creation science viewpoint. Since it meets the requirements for the new state standards, it can be used in Pennsylvania public schools and is a secular curriculum.

My opinion is that when differences in viewpoint come up, we should use these moments to discuss our Christian beliefs and values. That thought applies to any secular curriculum. I believe such discussions enable our children to take a stand at college and in the workplace when they encounter opposing beliefs.
