Historically Structured, Literature-based Unit Study Curricula 

for Kindergarten through High School

Epi Kardia  (ep'  •e  kär•  de'  •  u)   is historically structured, literature-based, unit study curricula covering Creation through Modern periods. 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 characters to whom they can relate and emulate draws students into history in a way that textbooks cannot!

	All books listed in the curricula 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 (including grammar, composition, phonics, poetry and spelling) and fine arts
	Activities, books and projects recommended for each learning style
	Available from Kindergarten through 12th grade
	Additionally provided in our Complete Program components, pictured below, are historical overviews of each time period for teachers and older students, as well as a customizable CD with teaching tools and helpful forms
	The 100+ page teacher's manuals include extensive information about teaching covered subjects as well as curricula related material. The 6th-12th grade manual includes an extensive section regarding teaching high school writing.

 

What Does "Epi Kardia" Mean?

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.
