Our humanities class is a study
of a specific time period, not just history but all the aspects one can learn
about that period. For instance, we
finished antiquities last year. We
studied the civilizations of Egypt,
Mesopotamia, Israel,
Greece and Rome.
During each of these civilizations we learned their history, art, music,
architecture, literature, businesses, philosophy, science and so on. I have chosen to study humanities when my
kids are in high school. We use a core
curriculum for humanities called Gileskirk, by George Grant. After listening to the first few lectures a
couple of years ago, my husband and I decided that all our kids will go through
this 4 year course. My husband usually
listens to the audio lectures 2-3 time each year. They are that good. If you want to read more about it HERE
