Does Northwoods Press offer Christian-based curriculum?

Donna’s curriculum, written from a Christian perspective, endeavors to portray historical figures as accurately as possible, acknowledging both their virtues and flaws: their noble motivations and self-serving ambitions. This approach aims to provide a comprehensive and balanced understanding of the past, avoiding simplistic or idealized characterizations.

Learners from a Christian perspective have confidence that Christian intent will be highlighted where applicable, without overreach of religious claims.

Devotional narratives may appear as supplementary content leaving it to the judgment of the parent or teacher. This reflects a commitment to providing resources that are relevant to all students, regardless of their religious/secular background.

Courses for B.C. by Holly Mitchell (labelled MM for Mitchell Made), which are bundled with Donna’s curriculum, have specific Christian content, biographies, and resources, including a Christian salvation invitation in the Grade 3 course.

The story of Canada’s settlement is inextricably linked to the pursuit for economic gain. This ambition was tempered by the zeal of Christian missionaries, who sought to spread their faith, bring medical relief and education. This complex interplay between material aspirations and spiritual devotion shaped the social, political, and cultural landscape of early Canada, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to influence the nation’s identity today.
