How does one teach history to a five or six-year old? By making it fun, creative, and as tangible and real as possible. Our Starter History courses focus on the key accomplishments and ideas found in history. Each central idea is simply explained, and then explored through activities carefully crafted to be done , and to help provide the young student with a hands-on idea of what each culture added to the human experience. Focused on ideas and creations rather than dates and names, this is conceptual history for the very young. The student learns what is important about history, and how history impacts the student's life today. Each semester consists of several courses, and we recommend history be studied for this age group three times a week. The first semester, as an example, uses four courses. These should be done in their established order, as they present history in the sequence in which it occurred.
