Homeschool Literature Curriculum
Literature is a powerful part of education. It takes students beyond simply knowing stories to understanding the people and choices within those stories. The BJU Press literature curriculum shows your students not only the patterns and processes leading up to personal choices, but the effects of those choices on communities and organizations. Stories help us see individuals and communities in a variety of genres and cultures from a biblical worldview.

What makes our homeschool Literature curriculum unique?
Literature enables us to connect biblical principles with different cultures, unique perspectives, and personal choices. The BJU Press literature curriculum will equip your student not only to discern the values and beliefs of literary characters but also to explore how those values and beliefs lead those characters to certain conclusions. Examining the biblical consequences of everyday decisions will enable your student to live wisely in this present world.
Seeing How Culture Impacts Stories
Stories bear the mark of not only their authors, but the cultures, histories, communities, and events surrounding their creation. We encourage students to read with all of these aspects in mind so that they benefit greatly from what they read. Enabling students to better engage with and understand what they read makes the reading experience more enjoyable and memorable .
Enjoying a Variety of Selections
The BJU Press literature courses contain a wide range of literary pieces. Your student will experience multiple works of theatre, autobiographies, television dramas, magazine articles, poetry, and so much more! Our hope is that exposure to a wide spectrum of literature will engage your student’s appetite for lifelong recreational reading.
What parents love about homeschooling Literature with us
“My son and I enjoy studying the engaging stories presented in this curriculum. I am encouraged by the Bible integration which allows me to teach and reinforce Biblical character throughout each lesson. The book is packed with activities to keep my child engaged, which also allows me to pick and choose which activities would be most beneficial for him to learn the material he needs to grow as a person and do well on the tests.”
