So is Online Unit Studies a secular product? I notice that a good majority of the others are taught from the Christian perspective. OUS was not specified.
It is what I call “worldview neutral”. I am a Christian, and these are unit studies I created for my own children, so I guess there’s a bent towards Christianity. But they aren’t the units aren’t full of Bible verses and such.
mystery of history is no longer offering online classes. the link says they closed as of May 20th.

I would love to recommend a new online video-lesson American History course I developed with a company called Lernsys, Inc.
https://www.lernsys.com/en/a-survey-of-american-history
Intended for upper-middle and high-school students, this exciting “Survey of American History” will look at our great history from the earliest explorations to the modern history that we are living…right now! Join me on this adventure as we learn about the most impactful people, places, and events in American History. As we hear the exciting story of our nation, I will be making sure that what you learn will be applicable to your lives and that you will see our history as a roadmap of where we have been, where we are now, and where we are going! I am looking forward to us taking this journey together to hear the real story of our American History!
