What Does "Epi Kardia" Mean?

(Ehp' • e Kär • de' • uh)

The Greek words "Epi Kardia" mean at the heart. At Epi Kardia, we feel the heart of home education is the Christ-centered mentoring and discipling relationship between parents and their children.

Epi Kardia is historically structured, literature-based, curriculum using Charlotte Mason methods to cover Creation through Modern periods, integrating the subjects of history, science, language arts, fine arts and projects.

Our methodology, especially successful with younger students, applies the study of history from Creation to Modern each year.

Beginning again every year allows students to:

move to fresh material more quickly
stay more engaged
recall information learned more easily, as it hasn't been years since it was introduced
allows a layering effect to take place, making it easier to connect new knowledge to already-learned information, which according to experts, is the way we learn

The flow of history and connections between historical events become clear as history is studied in this relevant manner.

Reading exciting, well-written literature about characters to whom they can relate and emulate draws students into history in a way that textbooks cannot!

Doing history from Creation to Modern times [has given my daughter] a wonderful understanding of history -- thanks to Epi Kardia! Bonnie

I've been following the layout for history from your lesson plans and loving it! We're finishing up week 2 of Revolution and having a great time. Your choice of books has been simply amazing! I was just telling the kids this week that we really need to buy these book choices for our library (we have an awesome public library system and so we can borrow most books). They are learning so much and all of this has worked very well with our notebooking. I think what you have put together with Epi Kardia is truly remarkable.

"I'm still using Epi Kardia and LOVING it! I added one more student this year to the mix, A.! She and I do a more traditional Epi Kardia approach, whereas J. and G. know the drill and are on something like auto pilot with the program. Thank you for your dedication to writing such a fine curriculum. My family have enjoyed it and been blessed by it time after time. I still share it with everyone who will listen!"

"E. is in 4th grade right now and C. is in 1st grade. I love being able to use Epi Kardia with both of them! (And we'll be adding L. in kindergarten next year.) What a blessing this curriculum has been and continues to be for us! Thanks Dana and Beth!"

--Julie, mom of 5, SC

"I have 4 children and we are using all 4 levels of the program. Just another reason why I love this program! It is flexible enought for me to do just what I want with it! :-) "

--Pam, mom of 4, SC

"The kids and I just finished playing a '20th Century Trivia' board game that A. made after I saw it in the [Preparatory Complete Program] Epi Kardia curriculum. What a great idea! He had to come up with the idea, use history & geography to come up with the categories and then the questions, make the board, paint the board and then make up the rules. It was a great 2-week project!"

--Vicki, mom of 2, SC
