HISTORY

​

Our Classical Studies History curriculum (Memoria Press, Greenleaf Press, BJUP) follows a 3-year continuum of History, beginning with Yr. 1: Ancient History (Creation, Sumer/Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Hebrews, Greece, Rome-- through the Roman Republic, continuing with Yr. 2: the Roman Empire through the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and Yr. 3: the Protestant Reformation, followed by Exploration of the New World and American History--at least through the Spanish-American War (sometimes through WWI and WWII).

​

 

After an overview of each period of history, we will engage more deeply in studying the lives and stories of the great men (and some women) who characterize these times. History should be read and studied as just that—a story; it is His (God’s) Story, and we must study it to know and understand Him better!

Read-Aloud Time 

​

 

After lunch, we will read a variety of historical fiction novels as we progress through the eras we are studying each year in our history rotation. Consequently, we hope to bolster and supplement our understanding of each period of history we study.
