Roman Catholic (that's what RC stands for!)
Our Catholic faith is central to all areas of our lives. The Catholic
Church is deep in history and studying the history of our faith alongside
secular history will deepen your understanding of God's plan for the
world. Our Lord is truly the center of all history!
Chronological
We believe that a chronological approach to history is the best way to put
the events of history into proper perspective. History is not random,
events have causes and effects, personal choices have consequences.
History is a long story composed of many shorter stories which occur in
specific times and places. Ordering your study of history chronologically
promotes greater understanding.
Family Learning
We have found that history comes alive when the family learns together.
Particularly if you are not well-acquainted with history yourself, or you
are teaching multiple ages, studying the same time periods together will
strengthen everyone's learning and interest and make your job of teaching
simpler!
Integrated Approach
History is unique, in that all things come to us through history. By
relating other subject areas to the study of history we begin to
understand that all knowledge is related, that nothing comes to us in a
vacuum. We have found that our children's interest in other subjects has
been enhanced by their study of history.
Active Learning
Most of us studied history with a textbook approach. Although a good
textbook can be an important tool, we have found that to truly engage the
student we must move beyond textbooks to a variety of outside reading,
writing, discussion, research, and hands-on activities. We carry many
wonderful resources to assist you in bringing history to life!
