By time period

History is always discounted at Schoolhouse Publishing!

I believe history should be studied chronologically so students catch the flow of God's sovereignty and interactions with humans.  If you want to study history chronologically and are looking for a specific time period to study, this section will help you.  We've broken our homeschool history curriculum into specific historical time periods.  Then, check our literature category, because there is a sub-category with historical fiction and classics also broken down into time periods.  This will make it easy for you to shop curriculum, then to add supplemental literature to support your history curriculum.  Schoolhouse Publishing is known for making your homeschool shopping easy and convenient!  You can also click here for a handy, printable chart that compares different homeschool history curriculum programs.
