Hi Corin - while Im not in the creationist camp I have heard of several HS curriculums that might have what you are looking for. Try A Beka, or Bob Jones University, or Sonlight. I am going with Sonlight for the coming year, cause Ive discovered I dont like having to design a new lesson for each day, nor does Erin take well with the directive "read this and then write an essay about it." WTM is a fabulous guide for a classical education, but unless you already know how to design daily lesson plans and whip up daily activities for weeks ahead of time, its easier to go with a company that has already got it done.
Well thats my soap box moment LOL.
hows everyone doing? We are in a kind of HS lull until we get her Stanford Achievement scores back. Ive been playing away in fanficdom, so my mind hasnt really been on politics so much, although I am trying to get back to updating Tributaries on a more regular basis. I just dont hve the fire to rant so much any more.

Did you ever check out
TRISMS? Some folks who are now using TRISMS for Middle and High School had formerly used Sonlight for the elementary grades.
Clare has enjoyed using it. It involves a lot of research, and though there is some writing involved in the Literature section, much of it is doing research to fill out questionaires about Civilizations, Art, Music and Architecture. The lesson plans are all laid out; that's why I liked it. I didn't have to re-invent the wheel.
