Books and Schedules

Higher Up and Further In Curriculum

Preschool Ideas






I am frequently asked how our curriculum differs from Ambleside.
The major differences between my schedules and AO are that I integrate Bible readings with ancient history and the children also learn US history during the early years rather than British History. They do the British readings, just later in fourth and fifth year. Also, in fifth year, we spend a whole year studying other non-European cultures-Africa, Middle East, Australia, Antarctica, India, etc…using great literature (places AO doesn’t cover).  I also changed many of the readings because they weren’t spread out evenly and easily for children, imo. I also added a few more items we found helpful.
