Homeschool Middle School Ancient World History: Early Civilizations

Is getting your learner to dive into history harder than taming a woolly mammoth? This course is here to make history engaging, exciting, and unforgettable. Here, they won’t just study history—they’ll experience it!

From guiding early humans through survival challenges to ruling Egypt’s Three Kingdoms and vacationing through Minoan and Mycenaean ruins, learners step into history through dynamic simulations. They’ll uncover the cultural legacies of ancient China, India, Israel, and more, connecting the past to today.

Highlights Include:
-Immersive Simulations: Take on historical roles to lead tribes, rule kingdoms, and craft early societies.
-Hands-On Activities: Build connections with history through creative projects like the Ancient Civilizations Theme Park, designing rides and attractions that bring the past to life.
-Collaborative Learning: Engage in discussions and activities that foster teamwork and critical thinking.

By the end, your learner will not only understand history’s impact on the modern world—they might even love it!

This isn’t just a history class—it’s a journey of creativity, problem-solving, and connection. By the end, learners won’t just know the past; they’ll see how it shapes their present and future.

*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.

Which Course Should You Take First?
