It’s time to get acquainted with the knights and kings, rascals and ruffians who were the movers and shakers of the medieval age. Meander through Rome and early Britain, stand with the Jews at Masada, and travel to the Far East. Watch as the Vikings head out to raid villages; see the Crusaders head for faraway lands; and witness the unfolding of the Renaissance. You’ll get to meet some of the larger than life characters that are a part of world history: the Apostle Paul, Charlemagne, Joan of Arc, Marco Polo, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, William Wallace, Johannes Gutenberg, Botticelli, Michelangelo, and John Hus.

As always, you’ll receive a number of wonderful titles and kits that will accent your study with activities and learning projects. You can devise a da Vinci-type invention, illustrate an illuminated book, make a sundial, play the Viking pastime Hnefatafl , and create your own coat of arms. You can even learn how medieval carpenters used 13-knot ropes to create beautiful arches and other forms as they built. Plus, you’ll go up-close to advances made by Renaissance painters as they found new ways to interpret perspective and draw the human figure. The journey is a fantastic experience!

If you’d like, you can add one of our “Human Body and Forensics” science programs, which allow you to delve into the human body, a study that inspired the work of Leonardo da Vinci himself. To add even more interest, these studies allow students to enter the world of forensic science, investigating clues and solving cases with lab work.
