The Magical Middle Ages, Renaissance and Reformation brought to life.

Meet the thinkers, writers, leaders and lawgivers from the fall of Rome in the fifth century through the Renaissance and Reformation until the seventeenth century. Explore firsthand accounts and primary source documents, laws and treaties, speeches, poems and letters from these times, all through their own words or the historians who studied them. Encounter Patrick, Boniface, Justinian and Theodora, Alfred and Harald, Dante and Elizabeth, and more. Tackle unabridged excerpts of original works by historians Asser, Bede, Malmsbury and Bacon, all in an easy-to-read narrative format. The more challenging of these readings are ideal for reading aloud and discussion.

History & Humanities is a Charlotte Mason-inspired curriculum for high school and middle school-aged students, covering history, literature, language arts and writing as its core subjects in each cycle. In addition, woven beautifully throughout are threads of citizenship, Bible, philosophy, worldview, government and economics. Using living books, written narration, dictation, picture study and more, this curriculum utilizes Miss Mason's philosophy of education. History & Humanities is also designed to be customizable for varying grade levels, making education simplified for families with multiple ages learning together, and for teachers with multiple grades in a class.
