The King’s English ELA Curriculum
The King's English is a Christian, high school level ELA curriculum, designed to teach literature knowledge, grammar skills, and writing abilities. It is both rigorous and classroom-tested, and it will walk your students through some of the best literature western civilization has to offer. Perfect for both classroom teachers and homeschool families, KE offers an array of robust and challenging ELA materials combined with the moral clarity of a Christian worldview. 
 
Fully Digital
With the exception of one optional textbook (see "list of books" section below), all KE materials are digital documents in the form of google files (docs, slides, sheets, etc), easy to work with and organize. In fact, this digital nature allows most tests and quizzes in KE to be self-grading, with students receiving instant feedback on right and wrong answers. KE’s digital files also easily integrate with Google Classroom, or can be used by themselves as desired. 
 
Academically Rigorous
Each of the 9 classic works of literature covered by KE encompass timeless themes,  academically rigorous vocabulary, and challenging literary techniques. KE also includes 5 challenging writing projects, each of which will stretch and grow students in their writing abilities. While KE is designed to be used by 9th and 10th grade students, it also contains optional assignments for further developing grammar and writing skills. These assignments can be used in any class which the teacher deems up to the challenge, as they add enough rigor to make the course suitable for even 11th and 12th grade students.
 
Classroom-Tested
I myself, Keith Accisano, have personally used these materials in my own high school classes over the last 6 years of my teaching career. Over those years I have created, adjusted and refined these materials to meet the various needs of my classes -with tremendous success! I am now totally confident that my curriculum, The King's English, can help other educators share the treasures of western literature with their students. 
 
Christian Worldview
Many ELA programs, even ostensibly Christian ones, downplay the significance of the Christian worldview in birthing western civilization, literature, and culture. But not the King's English. KE covers each work of literature from a Biblical worldview, highlighting the ways in which Christian values influenced the author, the author's culture, and the work itself. And whenever a book brings up a topic which naturally relates to the Christian worldview (as when Uncle Tom's Cabin discusses the injustice of slavery, or when The Time Machine offers reflection on the end of the world), KE engages students in critical thinking and discussion from a Biblical perspective.

List of Books
The King's English contains materials to accompany the following 9 works of literature. It does not include the works themselves. However, most of them can be found for free on the internet. (And by the way, despite its monarchical name, The King's English covers both British and American literature.) There is also one optional grammar textbook, published by Abeka, Grammar and Composition III (Fifth Edition). Teachers may choose to purchase this textbook for more detailed explanations of the grammar concepts taught in KE. However, the book is not required to complete any of grammar exercises included in The King's English curriculum.
