Medieval Civilizations Online Course

This is a unique history and critical thinking class for home school students that teaches classical history through games, analysis of history, research, and the Socratic discussion. Students first learn the tools of the historian then apply them to the subject content. Students will read primary sources and history texts and engage in the Socratic discussion. As the meaning of history is open to debate, our course shows students how to use logic and the search for truth to find the best interpretation of historical events.

Course meets once per week, 30 times per year.
Ages: Grades 6-8
