Description: From 7Sisters: Career Exploration Textbook is a fun but powerful tool to assist your teen in evaluating potential careers. High school is such a busy time for teens. Sometimes, this academic busyness means that they do not have time to clarify what will happen after graduation.
It is valuable for teens who do not know what to do after graduation as well as for teens who already have a plan.
For teens who do not have a clue what they want to do after graduation:
Career Exploration is a wise elective subject to add into their schedule. Instead of graduating from high school with a shrug of the shoulders and a sigh of, “Well, I guess I need to figure out what I want to do with my life now…” your teen can be intentionally exploring areas of:
That’s what Career Exploration Textbook gives to homeschool high schoolers who do not know what to do after graduation.
Teens who do have a plan for life after graduation will also benefit from a Career Exploration elective. In reviewing their strengths, talents, experiences and values… all in the context of seeking godly counsel homeschool high schoolers often solidify decisions.
Interestingly, we sometimes see them tweak their career decisions as they go through the Career Exploration process. (Better to tweak now than halfway through their college years.)
So, for both types of teens, 7Sisters Career Exploration Textbook provides a lighthearted but comprehensive experience with this part of life preparation.

Description: The Bible Blueprint is a brand new class at HRT. One definition of a blueprint
is: a detailed plan, guide, or model for creating something, originating as a specific type of photographic print (white lines on blue) for technical drawings but now used metaphorically for any comprehensive strategy, like a "blueprint for success" or a "genetic blueprint" (DNA). It serves as a foundational guide to ensure an outcome matches the intended design, whether for a building, business, or life plan, ensuring clarity and reducing errors.
This class will serve as a detailed guide of the Bible! The goals of this class are
to provide students with a working knowledge of the Bible. They will learn:
- How we got the Bible that we have today
- How it is organized
- Memorization of all 66 books
- The main theme and person(s) of each book
- The redemptive thread that runs from Genesis to Revelation
Studies show that many young people walk away from their faith, as young adults. Let’s make sure they have the knowledge “to ensure an outcome matches the intended design” , which is to live a life walking with God and growing in His Word.

We will then work to start the process of becoming the leader God has called each person to be. The content will be a mix of discussion and lecture.

Description: “This study of our Christian heritage is focused on the historical events and people surrounding the Declaration of Independence. The early Founding Fathers of the United States of America were men of principle who debated important points of government, liberty, and the God-given rights of mankind. Their work and sacrifice created an enduring legacy that led to some of the most influential documents in history, like the Constitution of the United States of America. In this American history homeschool curriculum, your junior high students will have an opportunity to learn how the American colonists chose to respond to the increasing tyranny of the British Empire and why the course of revolution was one they took after all other efforts at relief had failed.
Designed for grades 7-9, lessons contain a mix of source documents, related scriptures, short biographies, quotes, and real-world connections.” — Masterbooks
Note: This is a GREAT class to prepare students for The US Constitution, taken as a high school student.

Description: This class is designed to help students to come to a better and deeper biblical understanding of why they believe what they believe. In our world today, fewer and fewer young people are being challenged to truly understand what they believe and ask the hard questions, with expectation that the Bible can give them an answer. During this class the student will be challenged to not only learn a biblical worldview, but also defend it. They will be challenged with both sides of an argument and have to learn to give a rational, biblical, and loving response. The format of the class will be Socratic, which simply means it will be mostly discussion and less lecture. There is no required text, but I will be assigning articles for them to read that will be posted on a google drive page online. We will walk through a progression of learning in class. First, we will talk about why we believe the Bible and build a foundation of biblical truth. Then, we will spend some time on how one can study the Bible and understand it for ones self. After which, we will do a brief survey of biblical teaching and the over arching themes. Lastly, we will walk through different modern issues and seek a biblical understanding of them. Issues like gay marriage, transgender, dating in a biblical view, etc, and finish with what living for Christ really means. The goal of the class is to get the student to think and try and understand for themselves what they believe. I, as the instructor, will play a lot of devil's advocate to try and force them not to give the easy answer but strive to understand the conversation and why they believe the way they do. This class is designed for high school. Let us not let college be the first time our students run into opposition and challenges to what they believe. Let's give them the tools now, so they can understand and be prepared to give an answer for what they believe.
