American History
Colonial foundations, the French and Indian War, the Revolution, and the birth of the United States.
Teacher Date Reference Included
Teacher resources at the back of the curriculum PDF give broad historical dates for the lessons so parents can place each reading on the timeline without turning the child’s lesson into date memorization.
Book of Centuries Included
The Book of Centuries is included as a 128-page print-ready PDF with 4000 BC–2100 AD coverage, giving students spacious pages for keeping history entries over time.
Picture & Composer Study
Picture study suggestions and composer study suggestions are included within the curriculum. These selections are chosen based on the time period of the historical content being covered, helping students more fully enter into the art, music, and atmosphere of that historical era.
