Can anyone give me their opinion on the rigor of these courses? I'm looking at the Modern Honors US History.

Is their daily writing of some kind, or is it all on the computer screen?

And, I'm assuming it's conservative?

Thanks for any help. I've heard good things about their K-8 classes but don't know anyone who's used high school.

We are using Literary Analysis and Composition I. We are using it independently as it is also their 8th grade English course (the courses are identical). For the literature piece, the student reads the assignment, has an online lesson about it, and also has some written work to complete for each lesson.

As for being conservative, I've used their middle school world history books and coming from my liberal perspective, I'd say they're well balanced. My understanding is that they have also published their own text for the high school American history course and I would expect that it is similarly balanced.
