Curriculum Structure
Four-Week Unit Cycle
Each of the nine units per volume operates on a four-week cycle: Introduction Week presents the time period through readings and audio lectures. Exploration and Discovery Week dives deeper with research, timeline work, and geographic study. Hands-On Week engages students through projects, cooking, music, and art from the period. The final week integrates everything through review and creative expression. This rhythm maintains engagement while ensuring thorough coverage. With 9 units fitting a 36-week school year, pacing aligns naturally with typical homeschool calendars.
Multi-Age Flexibility
History Revealed excels for families with children spanning multiple grade levels. The core content works for grades 5-12, while elementary activity books adapt the same material for younger children. Families study the same historical period together, with each child engaging at their appropriate level. This reduces preparation time, fosters family discussion, and creates shared educational experiences. The extensive reading lists allow families to choose depth of study based on student ages and interests.
The Bottom Line
History Revealed offers something increasingly rare: a comprehensive, well-produced history curriculum built entirely around a biblical worldview. Diana Waring's engaging audio lectures make the content accessible, while the Charlotte Mason methodology keeps students actively learning rather than passively listening. For Christian families wanting history taught as the story of God's faithfulness throughout time, this curriculum delivers that vision comprehensively and engagingly.
