Homeschool Middle School Medieval World History: Europe, Asia & Islamic World

Is getting your learner to explore the medieval world harder than defending a castle during a siege? This course is here to change that! From Viking raiders to medieval kings and Black Plague researchers, learners step into history with immersive simulations and creative projects—no armor required!

They’ll navigate feudal Europe, the Islamic Golden Age, and the vast Mongol Empire, governing kingdoms as Justinian and Theodora, following Ibn Battuta’s epic travels across West Africa, and unraveling the drama of the Wars of the Roses.

Through hands-on projects like the Medieval Moments Project and the Peep-Into History Diorama Project, learners will craft graphic novels, stories, memes, or even 3D historical scenes that bring the medieval world to life.

What’s Included:
-Immersive Simulations – Take on roles like Viking warriors, medieval rulers, and plague researchers.
-Creative Projects – Dive into history with activities like the Medieval Moments Project and Peep-Into History Diorama.
-Global Connections – Explore Europe, Asia, Mesoamerica, and West Africa, uncovering how civilizations shaped the medieval world.

By the end, learners won’t just know history—they’ll experience it, connect with it, and maybe even love it.

This isn’t just a history class—it’s a journey of storytelling, strategy, and hands-on discovery that makes the medieval world unforgettable!

*Heads-Up: This Class is NOT a Spectator Sport!
This isn’t your typical sit-back-and-zone-out history class—your learner is part of the action! Whether we’re diving into simulations, debates, or critical-thinking challenges, their participation is what makes this class engaging, exciting, and, well… not just another lecture!

That said, if participation turns into radio silence, we’ll have to shift into a lecture-style format to ensure all key material is covered. But let’s be real—that’s way less fun.

So, encourage your learner to jump in, share their thoughts, make decisions, and engage! The more they put into this experience, the more they'll get out of it (and the less likely we are to drift into Lecture Land).

**Another Heads-Up: Punctuality Matters! 
This class runs on engagement and interaction, so arriving on time is key! While late arrivals are always welcome to jump in, we won’t be able to restart simulations or backtrack on missed activities—there’s just too much to cover.

To get the most out of the experience (and avoid feeling lost mid-simulation), being on time is strongly encouraged. Help your learner hit the ground running from the start—it makes for a smoother, more immersive class for everyone!

***Be Prepared & Ready to Dive In!
Each week, all required materials will be posted in the classroom—most are digital-friendly, with a few that may need printing. If printing isn’t your thing, no worries! PDFs can be easily viewed on your device.

Bringing materials to class ensures a smooth, engaging experience—so have everything ready, and let’s make history come alive!

****On a More Serious Note: Refunds & Flexibility****
I get it—plans change! While booking in advance secures your learner’s spot, sometimes schedules shift. If you need to withdraw your learner up to ten days before the class starts, I’m happy to issue a full refund—no hassle, no stress. Just reach out, and I’ll take care of it.
