NotSoObvious Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Does such a thing exist? I'd love to find a program that integrates history and literature, and my girls want to study ancients next year (9th). Do you have any ideas? I'm looking for something that doesn't teach Biblical stories as fact, if that helps explain the secular requirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 HO is the only one I'm aware of. We haven't used Ancients Level Two, but we've used Ancients Level One and others in Level Two. I've always been impressed with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad S Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm assuming you don't want to do this yourself, but one possibility would be to do the history and literature at home using the Great Books, as discussed in WTM and then get a tutor to work on writing matching your history and lit. (For writing, we're using Writing with a Thesis by Skwire and Skwire and other material and will likely get a tutor for awhile.) We're economizing on other parts by using Great Courses History of the Ancient World: A Global Perspective as a spine, from the library, as well as many of the Great Books literature from the library and will spend our money on writing.

Thanks. I saw the GC course and that looks like a perfect addition. I might just have to do it on my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
