More About Our Introduction to Worldview and Philosophy Homeschool Bible Curriculum

The first nine lessons of Introduction to Worldview and Philosophy focus on worldview, especially from a Biblical standpoint. A worldview is simply the way one views the world, the basic assumptions one has about life and how it works. A worldview is a person’s understanding of reality. Often, people don’t even realize they have a worldview, or that others may have a differing worldview. Understanding their view of the world can help homeschool teens recognize flaws, both in their own thinking and in the information they study.

The second set of nine lessons focuses on the history of philosophy. Philosophy is the study of the way the world works. As homeschool teens study these ideas, they need to think, reflect, write, and discuss the information they gather. Discussions with parents, pastor, youth leader, or other Godly respected adults solidify and expand on the homeschool teen’s independent learning.
