About Hope House Press

This course is a multi-faceted comprehensive high-school level humanities class. It covers 20th Century history (focused on the Second World War and its aftermath), social studies (including current events), geography, and college-prep research writing. Students will grow in their critical-thinking skills through thought-provoking group discussions and creative projects.

Our goal is to give students the skills they need to understand both the past and present from a faith-based, Judeo-Christian perspective. “The Seminar” is an expanded version of The Seabirds Trilogy World War II Companion Curriculum.

Lessons in ethics, virtues, and Bible-based devotionals will encourage and help students mature into responsible and wise adults. Weekly live one to two-hour Zoom lectures, student-led group activities, lively class discussions, and intellectually challenging subject matter provide an unparalleled learning experience and stimulating academic community.

The class begins on September 15!
