The three-volume History Revealed! curriculum
provides a multi-faceted study of world history. Diana Waring embodies the
concept that learning should be alive for students, enjoyable, and memorable in
both approach and content. Her foundational perspective is that God’s
redemptive presence is visible throughout all ages and all history. The goal
of History Revealed! is for students to discover history from
a Biblical worldview, and to explore history through a curriculum that honors
your God-given design. This means learning and expressing what you've learned
in a way that best fits you and who you are.
Volume 1 covers Creation to Christ; Volume 2 begins
with Christ’s Resurrection to the French Revolution; and Volume 3 covers
the Napoleonic Era through the Korean War. Each includes reading, researching,
music, art, architecture, science projects, cooking, journalism, drama,
mapping, graphic design, vocabulary, and more.
Designed as a multiple-learning-style program, the units in
these courses are based on a four-week cycle, and each course includes 9 units
(36 weeks total). The essential components are the Student Manual, the
Teacher’s Guide, the Test Kit, and the Audio CD series What in the World.
These are all included in the Essentials Pack. Optional resources are
also available.
The Elementary Activity Book introduces kindergarten
through grade 4 students to the curriculum. The In-depth Lesson Planner provides
introductory information, book and materials lists, and specific week-by-week
daily lesson plans for both 5-Day and 3-Day weekly schedules. The True Tales
and Digging Deeper Audio CD Sets all include 3 CDs for
further audio education and enjoyment. The Audio CDs are a wonderful resource
that can also be used as a stand-alone supplement. The Standard Packs include
everything in the Essentials Pack as well as the True Tales and Digging Deeper
Audio CDs. The program heavily utilizes supplemental living books which are
available individually and in book packs.
