Starting Points is an introduction for students to begin thinking about and analyzing both the biblical worldview and the worldviews around them. The purpose of this study is to establish the biblical worldview in the hearts and minds of your children. It lays a solid foundation for their own personal lives. And finally, this study is an excellent preparatory course for World Views of the Western World (Worldview 1, 2, & 3)
Credits towards high school transcript: 1- American History, ½ - Bible, 1- Literature with Composition.
Expected workload: 3-5 hours a week outside of class. Students will turn all work in on Google Classroom and must have an email account which allows them to do so.
