Meet the Classical Historian Online Class Teacher, 9/2025

Adam De Gree teaches our live online homeschooling courses. In his junior high years, Adam was one of the first students to use the Classical Historian homeschool history curriculum. He went on to earn a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he met his wife Tessa. The young couple then completed M.A. degrees in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the CEVRO Institute in Prague, Czech Republic. He is now a freelance writer, and his work has been published in several American and Czech magazines. Adam has taught Classical Historian courses for the past eight years and is loved by his students and their parents.
