History Quest: Middle Times is secular homeschool history curriculum focusing on the years between the Fall of the Roman Empire through Elizabethan Times. Because it is secular, the text presents religious beliefs from that period not as factual accounts, but as relevant sources and perspectives to be considered through a historical lens.
Through rich and exciting narrative, special History Hop! sections, and hand-drawn illustrations, our History Quest: Middle Times chapter book takes you on a journey through the Middle Ages—a time of knights and ninjas, princesses and sultans, great explorations and technological advances, exciting cities, and fascinating figures. You’ll visit faraway places to meet and learn from the stories of everyday folks, famous world leaders, and characters in classic medieval literature.
Designed as a read-aloud for elementary-age children, an independent read for older students, or a journey of exciting adventures to be shared during family story time, this main text of the History Quest: Middle Times curriculum presents an immersive study of history in an engaging and memorable format.
Used alongside the History Quest: Middle Times Study Guide and other recommended resources, your students will learn about the ideas, conflicts, inventions, and individuals that shaped the world during the Middle Ages and take their first step in a life-long quest to explore and appreciate history.
Students will learn about events that occurred from approximately 350 CE to the 17th century. Major areas of study include:
History Quest: Middle Times is appropriate for elementary-aged children learning at home or in co-ops, learning pods, micro-schools, or charter schools. First through fifth graders can use the chapter book as their primary history spine, either as a read aloud or by reading independently.
