10010 Independent Bible Course
Suggested Grade Level: 9th–12th
Academic Credit: 0.0
Additional Course Charge: None (Family chooses all materials)
Prerequisites: None
Description: Christian Liberty understands that Christians hold various theological views, not all of which are in agreement with our own. Therefore, we allow families to construct their own independent Bible course if the choices we offer do not meet their needs.
Families choosing to take our Independent Bible course must use the Holy Bible as their primary text, regardless of what other materials are used. Those selecting this course will receive course instructions stating what CLH requires, as well as what must be submitted in order for a final grade (determined by CLH) to be awarded.
Because CLH allows the family to construct its own course and supplies no required materials, Christian Liberty Homeschools does not issue academic credit for its Independent Bible course. When this course is chosen at the high school level, CLH will waive the one credit graduation requirement listed for the grade level under Theological Studies. The Independent Bible course may be assigned at each grade level throughout the CLH program.
Students who pursue this option at the high school level are still responsible for meeting the minimum credit requirements for graduation, which means a student may need to take additional courses to earn enough credits to graduate.
