History repeats itself - again and again :) By learning the succession patterns of Europe's leaders, learners in this class become experts in the patterns that govern the flow of history.

Now, I homeschool my son and I greatly enjoy adapting my knowledge and classes designed for university level to each of his grade levels. Reviews
