Sample Annual Schedule

Epi Kardia literature-based unit study curriculum is organized chronologically into nine historical units. This allows your younger home school/private school student(s) to study history from Creation to Modern every year.

We believe that this method gives students a more thorough understanding and a better recall of the flow of history as opposed to breaking it down into pieces over a number of years. With this layered effect, students are more engaged, develop a better understanding and recall of history, and can more easily make connections between historical events.

The focus may differ at each level, but a Biblical worldview prevails.

Recommended Unit Teaching Schedule*

*If you are teaching older students, especially in high school, you may want to follow the two year schedule suggested in the Epi Kardia Manuals (or your own schedule!) to allow for more in depth study. To do history justice, we often recommend dividing both American History and World History into two classes each, for example:  American History I (Colonial through the Civil War) and American History II (Immigration through Modern).  There is enough material and suggestions in the Secondary Complete Program to spend a year on the last unit alone, and many have done just that!  Use your and your student's interest as a guide to planning high school classes.
