This new “hands-on” American history curriculum is perfect for elementary and junior high. Unlike most other U.S. history curricula for this age group, America from the Beginning starts at creation. From the start, kids learn a non-evolutionary perspective on how the very first inhabitants of America got here, and see the amazing similarities to other cultures. God’s grace toward the United States is obvious and unfolds in an exciting way as students discover the events, inventions, and people from Columbus to the modern day. Co-author Debbie Lawrence is also co-author of God’s Design for Science. Fun activities in each unit make learning easy and even more memorable!

NAC’s simplified strokes and letter forms allow first grade students to truly master beautiful cursive. We have used NAC in our Highlands Latin School, with dramatic results. Every child can master cursive in the first grade, and many of our first graders write better than typical third graders.
