Facing History

Facing History and Ourselves is an educational organization that provides free curricula, primary sources, and professional-learning materials focused on history and social justice. Units on topics like the Holocaust, Reconstruction, and contemporary human rights pair historical case studies with questions about identity, choices, and civic responsibility. While designed for classroom teachers, many homeschool parents adapt the lesson plans, texts, and discussion prompts for older tweens and teens. The online resources are free after registration, offering enormous value in high-quality, ethics-centered history material. It’s best suited to families ready for deep, sometimes heavy conversations.
