Staceyshoe Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I'm considering switching to a textbook-based history next year which would be very different for us. I'd like to find a jr. high or high school level textbook that covers world history from approximately 1400-present. I'm open to both secular and Christian resources. Suggestions?

MEmama Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 We used Prentice Hall World History: Connections to Today as our spine. It's HS level, totally secular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceyshoe Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 We used Prentice Hall World History: Connections to Today as our spine. It's HS level, totally secular. I had been leaning toward History Odyssey but knew that there were other options I hadn't considered yet. So glad you mentioned this. I wasn't aware of it, and it's looks great! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 K12's Human Odyssey series. You would want the second and third volumes (though I suggest a quick read through of the first as well). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "big" curriculum houses all have world history text books. BJU, Abeka, Alpha Omega, PAC Holt has a world history book you can buy at Rainbow Resource. You might be able to find older used editions at used bookstores too. I probably wasn't too much help, but I hope I helped some :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momto6inIN Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 K12's Human Odyssey series. You would want the second and third volumes (though I suggest a quick read through of the first as well). This is what we have and use. I enjoy reading them on my own to keep up with the kids, so that's saying something! ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 My dd is a history buff, and she likes the K12 books enough to use them. I like them enough to keep them and re-use them for ds, if that says anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildwood Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Notgrass Company has both middle school and high school world history courses/textbooks . The books are divided into part 1/part 2 (semester 1/2), so should be easy to pick up in the time period you are wanting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
