I'm glad to hear that you find MBTP such a good fit for your family! We do have plans to develop curriculum at the high school level, however, we do not have a specific time line for the completion of those levels.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you,
Vicki
We are currently working on our high school program. We plan to have the first courses available by Fall of 2017.

Our full year of World History will cover ancient civilizations to the present.
Thank you,
Vicki
We do anticipate releasing our first level of high school language arts for the fall of 2017, but as of right now it looks like we will not have the first social studies level ready in time for the fall. We now have the first English unit on Idea Share. I hope that helps! :)

Do you think that by fall 2018 you'll have a full high school curriculum ready? We are on the age 12-14 at the moment and love this curriculum very much.
Thanks for your time,
Mary
edit to add: You will need to be certified to teach in whichever state you plan to be teaching in!
We do anticipate on releasing our first level of high school history this coming fall. We will continue to build our high school offerings, but I don't have a timeline on those additional levels yet.
Thank you,
Vicki
Thank You!
Unfortunately, our High School offerings are developing a little slower than we had first anticipated. We will continue to offer our first level of High School English, but our Social Studies is now planned to be released Fall 2019. We will continue from there, but I don’t have a timeline at this point.
Please let me know if I can answer any further questions.
Thank you,
Vicki
The first level of social studies will be World History. After this level is finished, we are planing levels that cover United States History and then a level on Civics and Geography.
Our high school curriculum is coming out slower than we would like. We currently have one level of language arts (that can be used for either 9th or 10th grade), and we are working on our first level of social studies. We are targeting next summer for its release, but we will keep you updated on our progress as we get closer to spring time.
Keith
Our first high school curriculum for social studies will be World History. Our plan will be to follow that up with a course on American History, but we don't have a release date estimate for that yet.
Keith
Thank you for your kind words about our high school language arts program. We are really proud of it. Unfortunately, you are not going to be happy with my response and schedule. We are just in the early stages of outlining the next level of language arts, and our current plan is to release the next level in 2020. I know that is not what you wanted to hear, and that it won't help you out at all if you are currently using the high school level. As you can imagine, it is a herculean effort to release an entire level of high school curriculum, but we are working as diligently as we can to get another one out there.
Keith
PS. I am going to forward your message to our writers. They love the curriculum they wrote, and it is always nice to hear that someone else does too.
Are there any current plans to expand on curriculum for high school 2022?
However, would you all be able to make a more public announcement about this? I know several people holding out hope and it only seems fair to inform them with the same level of publicity that was given to saying more high school would be coming over the last several years.
Thanks for reaching out to us. I am sorry about the lack of communication around our high school language arts plans. We do still have plans for our second level of high school language arts, but we don't have an estimated release date for this curriculum yet. We are currently in discussions with an excellent curriculum developer that is interested in working on this project, and we just need to get a commitment on the timing. I am hoping for the summer of 2024, but as Angela mentioned, we don't have a concrete plan at this point. We will let announce more details when we have them.

Keith, I was wondering if you had any more news regarding the creation of more high school content? I've got a 7th grader this year, and we would LOVE to see more content created from Moving Beyond the Page for her 9th grade year.
Hi Regina,
We have a writer picked out for our second level of language arts, but we don't have a schedule yet. I am hoping that we can have more concrete plans by later this fall. Right now we only have one full year of language arts that can be used in either 9th or 10th grade. I think that we can have a second level of language arts in time for your 7th grader.
Keith
So what's the deal with high school level? I'm looking through the posts on this forum and one MBTP says they have a writer working on it. Another says no plans to continue. Are you saying this because you don't want to lose customers up until 12-14???? MBTP families need to know what's going on. Thanks
Hi Melissa,
I am sorry for all of the confusion that we have had around our high school levels. We do plan to build out at least one more level of language arts for high school, and we are considering social studies as well. We have at various times had writers committed to the project, and then they were either moved to different projects or have moved on themselves to other opportunities.
At this time, we don't have a writer committed to the project, so we are not able to give you a timeframe for when we will have additional high schools levels.
Our middle school levels are designed to prepare your students for high school level courses. This is true whether you utilize any high school programs that we offer, or something different.
Again, I am sorry for any confusion we have fostered around our development of high school curriculum. It comes solely from an enthusiasm to develop even more excellent curriculum, and in this case we got ahead of ourselves.
Keith
