Our World History Curriculum, including Ancient History lessons and Medieval History lessons, are key-concept based, focussing on the “big six” key concepts for social science, often referred to as GRAPES.  By learning World History with key concepts as a filter, students will become familiar with the crucial attributes that have allowed ancient and medieval civilizations to prosper. Also, students will build a framework, scaffolding future learning with the key concepts that will be repeated throughout their academic careers. 

Each unit comes with notes, graphic organizers, and review worksheets that have the GRAPES key concepts in mind:

• G= Geography
• R= Religion
• A= Achievements
• P= Politics/Government/Leadership
• E= Economy
• S= Social Classes
