Grade Level 2 History (Teacher)

Overview: In classical education, the study of history is the backbone of the curricula. By studying history in chronological order and integrating other subjects to this core, students can bring order to their understanding of the world and the ways God has worked throughout history to accomplish his glorious purposes and plans. In Grade Level 2, students are taught about historical events, places, and people through engaging stories, arts and crafts, activities, and projects. The Grade Level 2 History course explores the time period from Creation to Christ in a broad overview of the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt and focuses on the intersections with the biblical historical narrative of the same time periods.
