Notgrass History stands out by integrating three subjects into one daily lesson: history, literature, and Bible. Rather than studying these separately, students read historical narratives, examine primary sources, engage with literature from the period, and connect it all to Biblical themes — all in a single course.

The high school programs (Exploring America, Exploring World History, and others) are particularly popular because they can provide a full year of credit in history, English/literature, and Bible simultaneously. This efficiency appeals to busy families managing multiple students and subjects.

What to Know

The curriculum is written directly to the student in an engaging, narrative style. Daily lessons are clearly laid out — students know exactly what to read and what assignments to complete each day. The program is designed for independent study with minimal parent involvement, making it ideal for older students or families with many children.

Elementary courses (Our Star-Spangled Story, America the Beautiful) follow the same integrated approach at a younger level. Pricing ranges from $90–$170 depending on the course and whether you purchase the included literature books or source them from a library. The curriculum is from a conservative Christian perspective.
