Homeschooling offers the freedom to choose a curriculum that reflects your values and educational goals. But with so many choices, how do you find a history program that does more than just cover content? At Classical Kingdoms, we’ve created a Homeschool History Program rooted in classical education one that goes beyond memorization to develop wisdom, critical thinking, and a love of truth.
Why Classical History for Homeschoolers?
The classical approach to history is about more than timelines and test prep. It trains students to ask meaningful questions: What is justice? What causes a civilization to flourish or fall? What can we learn from the past?
Our Homeschool History Program is:
- Chronologically organized, helping students see the big picture
- Rooted in original texts and historical narratives
- Designed for Socratic-style conversations and reflection
- Flexible and easy to adapt across ages and grade levels
- Full of rich content that encourages virtue and wisdom
It’s ideal for families who want their children to understand history deeply and who want to teach history in a way that forms both intellect and character.
What’s Included in the Program?
Chronological Scope
Our program begins with the ancient world Sumer, Egypt, Israel, Greece, and Rome and continues through early Christian history. Students learn how events connect and influence one another, building a coherent understanding of the past.
Primary Source Readings
Instead of relying on summaries, we use original voices from the past. Students read excerpts from Herodotus, Livy, Plutarch, and Scripture, encountering real historical thought and expression.
Socratic Discussion Guides
Open-ended questions encourage family conversations about virtue, politics, culture, and justice turning your homeschool into a seminar room.
Visual Timelines and Maps
Timelines and geography activities help students anchor what they’ve learned visually and contextually.
Reflection and Writing Prompts
Structured assignments help students process what they read and articulate their understanding through essays, journal entries, and comparisons.
Whether you’re teaching one student or multiple age groups, the program adapts to your needs while remaining faithful to classical learning principles.
