Have a Date With History

We created a new course in US History that contains 60 dates every US student should know.

History 400 - Key Dates in U. S. History

We encourage students to learn dates. Dates create a timeline in a student's mind. The timeline equips the student to understand the historical context of what was studied. As students learn more dates, it becomes easier for them to learn history, and to discuss history intelligently in context.

Seriously, we really mean it becomes easier. Once you have established a strong history date knowledge net, sometimes you will remember new dates after hearing them only one time!

As always, this new course is FREE TO MEMBERS!

O Canada - Four New Courses

Our friends in Canada requested more Canadian facts and we have responded with several courses dedicated to all things Canadian. Today we released four new courses, with over sixty facts, on the Canadian Government:

Social Studies

460 - Canadian Monarchy

461 - Canadian Executive

462 - Canadian Legislature

463 - Canadian Judiciary

We strongly encourage our US students to also learn these facts. Of course, as always, these new courses are Free to Members.

2014 More SAT Vocabulary Words

We have added 2014 more SAT Vocabulary words to HomeSchool Advantage this week in FOUR NEW COURSES! For students who have mastered all of the SAT Vocabulary words and still want to learn more before the SAT, they will also benefit from our GRE Vocabulary words that will be released soon. Of course, students preparing for the GRE can begin by reviewing the SAT vocabulary!

The Canadian Flag - February 15, 1965

We have released the second of four new courses on Canada based on requests from Canadian home schoolers. The course is:

160 - Canadian Flag Facts

This is the smallest of the four new courses. It provides a few fun facts on the Canadian flag and is similar to the US Flags course in content. We strongly encourage students in the US to take the Canadian Flag course too, impress your Canadian friends with your knowledge about what happened on February 15, 1965.

Knowledge Net on Canadian Prime Ministers

We have released the first of four new knowledge net course on Canada based on requests from Canadian home schoolers. The course is:

320 - Canadian Prime Ministers

This course provides a history knowledge net for Canadian students in a manner similar to the US Presidents course for US students. Because of the strong historical connection, we encourage students in both countries to take the British History course, 420 - British Monarchs.

US students may wish to learn the Canadian Prime Ministers as well, if only to impress your Canadian friends.

2000 More SAT Vocabulary Words

HomeSchool Advantage has added 2000 more SAT vocabulary words to our Language Curriculum in four additional courses. If your student begins studying these words around 9th grade and continues through all of the SAT and GRE words they will have a true power vocabulary by the time they are in college.

It is important when studying SAT vocabulary to use the "Rate Yourself" feature so the student does not waste time reviewing words that they already know.
