Homeschool History Curriculum

Looking for homeschool history curriculum which can be used as a starting point for your homeschool - incorporating many subjects or just as a subject on its own? This page refers to homeschool history curriculum being taught in a chronological way. For more information, refer to the page on Teaching History Chronologically.


Some history curriculum is written in a four-year-plan rotation, Tapestry of Grace, for example. This is written so that as you teach home school history, you can teach the same time period three times over, changing the focus each time. However, some people may choose to spend 8 years to cover history in the first cycle and then 4 years to cover it a second time.

As you can see, there are many ways of teaching history. You, as parents, must have the final say as to how you want to teach it in your home in your context with your children. Begin with the oldest child in mind and make a plan for them. Don't forget that you will visit the time periods a few times in your schooling years, so even if your youngest begins in the 20th century, he or she will continue the studies and visit it more than once.

Each homeschool history curriculum that is available follows its own divisions. Here are some of my favourite chronological homeschool history curriculum.

Tapestry of Grace has a four year plan. Try it by using this 3 week sample. Tapestry of Grace is comprehensive and teaches far more than just "history."
