- Notgrass History's From Adam to Us is an excellent and thorough history curriculum for middle school. We have LOVED this program. In this video, I give a full review and in-depth look at all of the components this history program offers.

Thank you for this great review! I have been trying to decide which curriculum to use for my kids. Seeing your review has helped me solidify my decision to go with Not Grass. Thanks again!
I’m so glad it was helpful! I hope you have a great homeschool year😊
So excited to see this timely review! We are doing generations taking Asia for Jesus this fall, but I had also been wanting to do this!!
I’m so glad to hear that! We love the Notgrass History curriculums.
Thank you for this review!
You’re welcome! I hope it was helpful.
Ive boughr several history curriculums at this point. Ive about decided Notgrass is my favorite. Every time we start a new set of theirs, I love them more and more. I will probably stick with them through high school.
Me too!! 💙 We are planning to use American History for 9th grade, so we are excited about that course.
How long does each lesson honestly take if you do all the things?
@@jessicajones611 This would depend on a number of different factors: age of the student, the student’s comprehension of the text, how well he/she understands what the questions are requiring, how focused or distracted the student might get while working.
My 8th grader didn’t ever do ALL of the components, especially the literature, but 3x a week it took him anywhere from 45 mins to an hour to read the lesson, complete student workbook, map, and thinking Biblically.
Thanks for this thorough review! I am looking into this curriculum now and I figured I’d check UA-cam for a review. I bought Biblio Plan year 3 , but I’m not thrilled with it. It’s a bit much to me. Your video solidified my decision on this Notgrass curriculum. How many days a week did you do this history to get through part 1 in the school year? I’m thinking I might have my 9 yo sit in on this history as well. I really wanted to do family style that’s the main reason I chose Biblio Plan 🤔
I honestly have never heard of Biblio Plan until you mentioned it. We made it through Part 1 doing 3 days a week 😉 We are also planning for 3 days a week for Part 2 for this upcoming year.
This was great!! We use from Adam to us too! I’ve actually been working on putting together a video as well but it’s taking me quite a while.
Do you usually get through it in one year? Notgrass histories are definitely our favorite!
@@beyondthebookshomeschool definitely can’t imagine getting through from Adam to us in one year. We actually are doing just the volume 2 since we have been doing MoH and seems like several of the topics were covered already that are included in volume 1 of from Adam to us. What other history programs have y’all tried?
I’ve been trying to decide on a history curriculum this was a very good review. I typically dislike reviews but this was short and to the point and I can appreciate it a lot. Thank u.
I wanted to ask you I read above u do 3 days a week in those 3 days are u doing a lesson each day or do u split the lessons up?
Thank you. I’m glad it was helpful! We split this curriculum over 2 years: part 1 grade 7 and part 2 grade 8. When we do 3 lessons a week, it is a full lesson each day.
What history curriculum have you used before?
Those novel questions, is that in the Student Review book or the Student workbook?
This program looks wonderful.
What age is this best for if I plan to use it for two student of two years apart. Thinking I could use the Student Review book for my older student and the Student Workbook for my younger.
The novel questions that I featured in this video are located in the Student Workbook. There are only about 4-5 questions each for the novels that Notgrass suggests to read.
Your thoughts of using together with two of your kiddos would work! This curriculum is suggested for grades 5-8. The Student Workbook would be great for your younger kiddo and the Lesson Review book would be great for your older kiddo.

Notgrass still offers the additional resources you need to go to the 3 lines at the top of the home page and click on more resources.
Yay!! I finally found them! Thank you for this! 😊
How does this compare to Mystery of History please?
I have never used this program, but I did research it before choosing. I think The Mystery of History is geared towards families who wish to do history as a family. It seems like it can be done this way because each volume (textbook) has activities geared towards early, middle, and high school. Therefore you read together as a family and each kiddo does an activity at their own level. To be honest, when I looked at the scope & sequence I was confused about not necessarily going in order of events. I began homeschooling my son in 5th grade, so I knew I wanted to cover American History. I also wanted a Biblical worldview and a literature component. Notgrass History’s program America the Beautiful met all of the criteria that I was looking for. So I chose that program and we both thoroughly enjoyed the program, so we have just stuck with the Notgrass history curriculums. We have also used American the Beautiful and Our 50 States.
You need to purchase access to the online resources for $24 a year.
Thank you so much! Do you have access? And if so, do you feel the supplemental resources are worth the money?
@@beyondthebookshomeschoolI’m curious on this as well
@@beyondthebookshomeschool I haven’t started using this curriculum yet. I just found the subscription thing when I was poking around the website.☺️
I love and appreciate scripture in curriculum. However, writers interpretation of gospel and their thoughts I do not. How much references to our Saviour is there or interpretations of Jesus and his ministry? More how much is interpretation of Jesus and the gospel within the text. I am not worried about the end section, ‘thinking biblically’ extensions because that can easily done or missed.
I think spreading this out over 2 years looks a good idea. If done over 2 years, how many lessons a week did you do? Did you find it better doing X no of lessons a week, like 2/3 lessons a week, but spread over 5 days. I also in a fb group and lot of people said 3 hours to do everything in a lesson?
@@jessicajones611 I have found all of Notgrass curriculums to be true to the Bible. Since I fully believe the Bible to be the truth, I appreciate how Notgrass writes their lessons to help children gain further understanding of what is written in the Bible. This specific curriculum focuses on world history, so it starts “In the Beginning” just like the Bible. There are many lessons that come from the Bible since it is world history. I would highly encourage you to check out one such lesson, Lesson 18 God Leads the Israelites out of Egypt to see if this would be a good fit for you. I’ve included the link where you can read the entire lesson here notgrasshistory.b-cdn.net/from_adam_to_us_part1.pdf
@@jessicajones611 Also, my son completed Part 1 (book 1) for grade 7 & Part 2 (book 2) for grade 8. He did about 3 lessons per week over 36 weeks.
@@beyondthebookshomeschool thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I'll look at lesson 18.
@@beyondthebookshomeschool thank you, I would like to spread this over 2 years too, it looks a lot and also I'd be using this alongside a younger student.
@@jessicajones611 You’re welcome
