God-Centered Homeschool Curriculum
Prepare your children for life and eternity through an education where Scripture shapes every subject and learning happens in the life of the home.
Deuteronomy 6:6–7 · Ephesians 6:4
Education Is Never Neutral
If God is not at the center, something else will be.
The Generations curriculum begins with a simple conviction:
Jesus Christ is Lord over every subject.
Every discipline — history, science, literature, worldview — is taught in light of God's truth. This is not Bible class added on top of secular material. This is education built from the ground up on the authority of God's Word.
What Makes This Curriculum God-Centered?
Every course in the Generations curriculum is intentionally shaped by Scripture — this is not Bible class added on top of secular material. This is education built from the ground up on the authority of God's Word.
Scripture
Woven meaningfully throughout every subject — the governing authority over all knowledge.
History
Tells the story of God's providence among the nations — His-Story, not the empires of men.
Literature
Explores truth, beauty, and the moral realities of the human heart through the great Christian tradition.
Science
Acknowledges and praises God as Creator — every chapter points to His creative wisdom and power.
Math
Shows us that the universe was created with order by God — number and pattern reflect His design.
Worldview
Trains students to discern truth from error, grounded in Scripture and equipped for every challenge.
Family Discipleship
In Ephesians 6:4, fathers are commanded to bring their children up in the training (paideia) of the Lord — the full formation of a child, intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and practically, for life in God's Kingdom.
This is the method Jesus used with His disciples. The Generations curriculum is designed to support families as they practice this kind of discipleship in the daily rhythm of learning.
- Walk-along, talk-along teaching
- Training the whole child — mind, heart, body, and soul
- Applying truth to everyday life
- Connecting learning with worship and obedience
A Complete K–12 Curriculum Built on Four Biblical Pillars
Each pillar is grounded in Scripture — not as a framework we invented, but as the method God gave to parents and modeled through Christ.
Fathers and mothers are responsible for raising children in the atmosphere of the Lord's nurture. Parents are the primary teachers — lessons are discussion-driven, read-aloud friendly, and designed to foster meaningful conversations in the home.
- Fathers and mothers lead their children's formation — intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and practically.
- The father's involvement is called for at key, strategic points in the daily and weekly rhythm.
- God's recommended curriculum — Proverbs, Psalms, the Gospels — is foundational to any God-centered education.
- A careful eye on the child's spiritual condition, faith, and character is crucial throughout the learning process.
- The development of faith and character is absolutely essential, even when addressing difficult academic subjects.
Students learn to interpret ideas through the lens of Scripture and to bring every thought captive to Christ. The fear of God is not one subject among many — it is the most essential building block of all knowledge.
- The Word of God must be a frontlet before our children's eyes — woven into doorposts, walls, and lessons.
- Jesus Christ must be preeminent in history, literature, and science (Col. 1:18).
- Children must be prepared with strong biblical foundations and robust apologetics (2 Cor. 10:4–6).
- The materialism and anti-supernaturalism of modern science cannot be tolerated — God's creative hand must be assumed and taught.
- God's providential hand must be assumed and taught in the history class.
- Christ's kingdom and His church must become more important in the student's mind than the empire-building of the ages.
The best teachers write the best books — but we must always prefer Christian teachers, because our children will become like them. The great Christian writings are the compendium of the pastors and teachers God has given the church over the past 2,000 years.
- The best books and teachers are those with a biblical worldview — those who honor God as the source of all knowledge.
- Abiding and enduring books are worth reading a thousand times more than the books that come and go through the centuries.
- Great Christian writers and thinkers form the backbone of our literature curriculum — cultivating wisdom, character, and faithfulness.
- Once children are well-rooted in a Christian worldview, they are equipped to engage the worldviews and literature of the unbelieving world.
Learning leads to prayer, praise, and practical obedience. Knowledge is not stored for pride — it is used in service to Christ. Without life application, knowledge is fleeting and reduces to pride.
- Mentorship and discipleship must include a walk-along element — as Christ patterned for us.
- True reverence will result in worship. Children must be trained to praise and worship God in the chemistry laboratory, the history classroom, and every area of life.
- "Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor. 10:31) — this is the great purpose and end of all learning for the Christian.
- Every lesson is an opportunity to move from new understanding to prayer, praise, and practical obedience.

Order CurriculumEducation Rooted in Christ
The method of education shapes the direction of a child's life. When faith is separated from learning, children quietly absorb a message that Christ is not Lord over everything. But when Scripture is central, students learn to see all of life through God's truth.
Academic excellence alone is not enough. Education rooted in Christ prepares children not just for college or career, but for a lifetime of faithful service to God.
- Teach a God-centered view of life
- Integrate Scripture meaningfully into every subject
- Follow a biblical model of family discipleship
- Combine strong academics with worship and life application
- Train children to think clearly and live faithfully
You don't need to spend hours filling worldview gaps or separate school time from Bible time. This curriculum was built to unite them.

Finally a history curriculum that teaches God's providence in all of history! My high school-age boys love history now and retain much of what they learn. This curriculum glorifies God and teaches HIS-Story!Terri M. — Idaho
For a busy mom of many, this has been a God-send! My kids love the books and I love the built-in accountability and deep thinking. We have wonderful discussions sparked by the questions and essays.Kim F. — Virginia

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most from families considering the Christian Discipleship Curriculum.
Yes. Our courses are written to be read-aloud friendly, so you can teach several ages together at once. Even young children who aren't the primary audience for a lesson pick up a surprising amount just from listening in.
We're still developing our own science curriculum. In the meantime, we recommend Math-U-See for math, Master Books and Apologia for science, and Institute for Excellence in Writing for writing instruction.
This is a big part of why we built the Christian Discipleship Curriculum — it gives you a ready-made framework. Start simple: read the Bible together daily as a family and talk through it. Our Family Bible Study Guides make that easy to build into a habit, and Kevin Swanson's book Family Life lays out the bigger-picture philosophy behind biblical discipleship.
Yes. We're committed to keeping God's Word central while also delivering an academically excellent education. We can't promise our material lines up with every question on a given exam, and some supplemental test prep may be needed, but our high school courses — including our extensive world history, American history, and Western civilization courses — are rigorous and thorough.
Pray for God's Spirit to stir in him a genuine desire to fulfill his Ephesians 6:4 responsibilities, and humbly invite him to lead the family in worship and Bible time. If he's not ready, trust God to keep working in him, and do what you're able to as a wife and mother in the meantime.
Choose a level advanced enough to keep your oldest child engaged — younger children will still absorb plenty if you're reading aloud together. Every course in our store has a sample PDF so you can gauge the difficulty level before you buy.
True wholesomeness and balance can only be measured against God's Word — non-Christian authors can only offer a Christ-less view of life. Fortunately, you don't have to choose between good writing and biblical faithfulness: that's why we've focused our literature curriculum on time-tested Christian classics.
No. Children need to learn to engage thoughtfully with non-Christian ideas. But Scripture and the great Christian classics should come first, with secular works introduced later as your children have the maturity to discern the worldviews at play.
No — Scripture and the great Christian writers remain the most relevant source of hope for real life. If you want your children ready to speak hope into someone else's hardship, a foundation in God's Word and the Christian classics will prepare them far better than secular literature can.
Genres like sci-fi, fantasy, and mystery can become highly addictive for kids. If that's happening in your home, it can help to address it honestly as a family and gradually shift your reading habits together. Just as important: let your own enthusiasm for good books be visible and contagious.
Yes, in balance. Keep God's Word the top priority, and let fiction fill in the margins as long as your child isn't being captivated by the storyline at the expense of more valuable reading and real-life responsibilities.
It depends on the student — some need more one-on-one time than others. Complete lesson schedules and answer keys make independent study straightforward. That said, we strongly encourage parents to stay engaged, not to dictate answers, but to model how to think biblically about what they're learning.
Requirements vary by state, so you'll want to confirm your own state's rules, but our curriculum should meet most states' requirements.
Yes. Our literature courses include written assignments, but they don't teach writing or grammar directly, so we recommend pairing them with a dedicated writing/grammar program.
Each Literature course is worth one high school credit, with the exception of Essential Writings on Church History, which counts as two (one Literature credit and one History credit). A full credit schedule for the rest of our core curriculum is also available on request.
We typically update our Literature curriculum on a yearly basis as needed, mostly with incremental changes — added assignments here and there, or corrected typos and small errors — rather than a full rewrite.
We offer a full 100% money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, ship your order back within 6 months of purchase and we'll refund you in full, no hassle and no questions asked. Just email customerservice@generations.org or call (888) 389-9080 for return instructions — you only need to cover the return shipping.
We want our Christ-centered curriculum accessible to every Christian family. Missionary and single-parent families may be eligible for additional assistance — see our Scholarship Program for details.
