Answers Bible Curriculum is a four-year program from Answers in Genesis. It covers the Bible from Genesis to Revelation in a way that connects scripture with real-world issues, making it perfect for families.
Research from the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) shows that homeschooled students typically score 15 to 25 percentile points higher than public school students on standardized academic achievement tests. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), approximately 3.3 million students were homeschooled in the United States as of 2023, representing roughly 6% of the school-age population.
What is Answers Bible Curriculum?
Answers Bible Curriculum (ABC) is a four-year program that teaches the entire Bible in order, from Genesis to Revelation. Published by Answers in Genesis, this curriculum highlights the historical accuracy of the Bible. It helps students defend their faith early on. ABC is designed for whole-family learning, so everyone studies the same topic at the same time, but with materials suited for each age. A unique feature of ABC is its focus on apologetics in every lesson. It shows how biblical events relate to science, history, and modern faith challenges.
Four-year scope and sequence
The curriculum is broken down into four years. Year 1 covers Creation to Joseph's life in Genesis. Year 2 goes from Moses to the prophet Hosea, pulling from Exodus, Chronicles, Psalms, and Proverbs. Year 3 follows the remnant of Israel up to the coming of the Messiah. Year 4 focuses on Jesus's last year of ministry and the early church. Families can start at any point in this cycle because the program is flexible. Each lesson builds biblical knowledge and shows how the Bible tells one cohesive story.
What's included
The Homeschool Edition comes with a Teacher Guide for all elementary grades (K-5) and student workbooks tailored for each grade. These workbooks include fun activities matched to skill levels. You can also find optional Tests and Answers books with quizzes and semester exams. The student workbooks feature colorful illustrations and easy tear-out pages. Activities range from coloring for younger kids to study notes for older ones. Extras like memory verse posters and video episodes from AiG educators are also available through Answers.tv.
Teaching approach
Each lesson starts with a "Prepare to Share" section that gives parents the background they need—almost like a mini-seminary education in bite-sized pieces. The curriculum tackles real-life issues Christians face and helps parents answer tough questions about faith, science, and history. If you feel uncertain about teaching Bible and apologetics, this background info helps you become a more confident teacher instead of just reading from a script.
The bottom line
Answers Bible Curriculum is great for families looking for solid biblical education with a focus on apologetics. Its whole-family approach means everyone studies the same biblical events at their own level, sparking meaningful discussions at the dinner table. Investing in all four years leads to a deep understanding of Scripture that many adults miss. For families who share Answers in Genesis’s young-earth creationist view, ABC offers both doctrinal consistency and practical teaching tools.
