Like most high school level curricula, it includes works that could be rated M for Mature. If mature content is a concern for you with your student, I encourage you to preview texts to asses your personal comfort level. (I read these texts with my own high school student and teach them in high school classes, but comfort levels can be very personal things.) This is a completely secular program.\r\n\r\nFor secular homeschoolers who want a fun, decolonized, rigorous way to homeschool high school and middle school, home\/school\/life\u2019s Deep Thought is the progressive high school curriculum that does the academic heavy lifting so that you can enjoy the fun stuff. Unlike other high school curriculum, home\/school\/life\u2019s Deep Thought curriculum teaches students how to learn, not just what to learn and makes big academics surprisingly fun for the whole family.\r\n\r\nAll curriculum materials are digital and downloadable. Because of this, all sales are final.
