Homeschool Civics & Government Curriculum, Taught on Video by a Bestselling Historian

Introducing Good Government: a one-semester high school civics and government course with Professor Larry Schweikart, #1 New York Times bestselling historian.

Why have things developed the way they have? Why does our government sometimes work differently than the Founders planned? Good Government helps high school students answer exactly these questions, understanding how American government actually works, why it matters, and how constitutional principles shape their lives today.

Understanding government takes more than memorizing branches and court cases. Students need historical context, constitutional foundations, and a clear picture of how power actually operates. Professor Larry walks them through the principles, institutions, and debates that shaped American government, and the reasons it doesn't always run the way its designers intended.

A Christian-Worldview Approach to Civics & Government

Good Government is Christian in foundation and in its analysis of government, and non-denominational in approach. Professor Larry recognizes the moral and philosophical ideas that shaped the American founding, and students see how faith, liberty, and civic responsibility have intersected throughout American history. This is an honest, fact-based account, not a watered-down civics lecture.

Lifetime Access

Unlike many online programs, Good Government does not expire.
