Category Description for Curious Historian

The Curious Historian is a chronological world history program from Classical Academic Press that strives to foster virtue and wisdom in students while guiding them to understand the world we live in. Each year of the 3-level series includes two semester-long text­books. Books 1A through 3A are available now; with Level 3B to follow.

The Student Edition includes weekly chapter lessons, the text, and sidebars packed with fascinating historical and architectural tidbits. There are also discussion questions, exercises, hands-on projects, maps and activities, plus really nice Greek/Latin root word studies (their specialty). The Teacher Edition has a full student text plus detailed teacher notes & tips, answers, and sample responses. Digital Resources include songs, suggested reading lists, printable files including full-color timelines, reference charts, and blank maps, and Biblical Connections.

While The Curious Historian is presented in a more standard for­mat than other elementary programs such as The Story of the World, it implements many nice features and focuses on aspects of culture that may not be covered in other curricula.

Level 1 covers the Ancient World (3200- 1600BC). Level 2 covers the Classical World (1600-500BC). Level 3 covers up through the Middle Ages.
