************************************************************
In this immersive course, they’re not just learners—they’re leaders! From navigating the intense rivalries of Greek city-states to commanding the vast Roman Empire, learners will step into roles like Athenian citizens, Spartan warriors, Alexander the Great, Ashoka the Great, and Roman emperors, making decisions that shaped the Classical era (6th century BCE to 6th century CE).

Through critical-thinking simulations and role-playing activities, learners will:
-Fight alongside Greek city-states in the Greco-Persian Wars.
-Lead conquests across Asia as Alexander the Great.
-Govern Rome as senators or emperors, navigating power, innovation, and politics.
-Unify kingdoms and spread Buddhism as Ashoka the Great.
-Establish vital trade routes as Zhang Qian, the pioneer of the Silk Road.

But the adventure doesn’t end there! In the Zombie Apocalypse: Constructing a Civilization with Classical Elements project, learners will put their knowledge to the test by designing a post-apocalyptic civilization. Drawing on the best ideas from ancient Greece, Rome, Persia, India, the Islamic Caliphates, and China, they’ll craft a (hopefully) resilient and thriving society to survive the chaos.

*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.

For questions about sibling discounts or other inquiries, feel free to contact me—I’m always happy to help!

Which Course Should You Take First?
While my courses can be taken in any order based on individual preferences and needs, I would highly recommend taking them in chronological order. This sequencing allows for a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and enhances the learning experience. Therefore, I suggest following this chronological order for optimal learning:

📜 Homeschool Middle School Ancient World History: Early Civilizations
🏛 Homeschool Middle School Ancient World History: Classical Era
⚔️ Homeschool Middle School Medieval World History: Europe, Asia & the Islamic World
🎨 Homeschool Middle School Early Modern World History: Renaissance to Revolutions
🌍 Homeschool Middle School Modern World History: Industry to World Wars
🛰️ Homeschool Modern World History: Cold War Era & Beyond


Following this order helps learners see the evolution of ideas, societies, and historical events over time, creating a cohesive and engaging learning experience.

That said, you’re free to start wherever fits your interests and learning goals—history should be flexible and fun!
