The Classical Historian
The Classical Historian promotes individual liberty in its understanding, perspective, and teaching of history, economics, society, and government. Classical Historian materials and online courses are inspired by the best that is offered in the Western educational tradition: openness, analysis, independent and critical thinking, respect towards opposing viewpoints, recognition of an absolute truth, and honesty. Our curriculum is age appropriate. For younger children, we use games and stories to teach through fun and interactive play. For older students, clear and interesting text and the Socratic discussion is our primary approach.
