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, unit study curriculum using
Charlotte Mason methods
to
cover
Creation through Modern periods and
integrate 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 younger
students to move to fresh material
more
quickly, stay more engaged, and therefore
recall information learned
more
easily, allowing a layering effect
to take place. 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!
-
-
All books
listed in the curriculum have been
read and evaluated from an
evangelical Christian worldview by
at least one of the
authors

Epi Kardia's
methodology integrates the subjects
of history, science, language arts

phonics, poetry and spelling) and
fine arts
