However, within the structure of the History Revealed curriculum it is possible to earn a second or third high school credit by giving extra attention to some of these elements.
Book Based
This curriculum is not simply a textbook! Each period of the world history curriculum includes a Student Manual, which includes an introductory article to read for each unit.
