Following is our recommended degree plan for a typical college bound student. While we realize not all students can achieve this rigorous course of study, it is our experience that with Digital Interactive, most students can.   We left the elementary science blank because we believe the focus should be on nature study, learning about the plants and animals living nearby, and fostering a love for Creation and science. Apologia Elementary Science Books are also recommended.
