Who were the Founders, really? The legacy of our Founders has inspired courage, promoted innovation, and has been the bulwark of the greatest nation in history. Yet, revisionism continues to push that undeniable legacy into the shadows. Drive Thru History: America goes back to the original writings and words spoken by our Founders in order to explore the lives of these brave men and women and understand their character, faith, accomplishments, and principles.

The award-winning Drive Thru History video series team, in collaboration with historian, David Barton (President of Wallbuilders) and accomplished curriculum specialist, Dr. Nita Thomason, proudly present this standards-aligned curriculum supported by another of Dave Stotts' fast-paced drives through history. This values-based course explores the lives of eight individuals who, through commitment to God and Country, helped lay the groundwork for the United States of America.

Drive Thru History: America is a complete kit for educating students, grades 6-12, on character, social studies, and Christian Worldview. These three areas of study are delivered through action-packed, adventure-filled videos and engaging activities, textbooks, and study guides.

It's time to remember our foundation of faith and values…and teach it to our children before it's forgotten.
