WHAT AGE GROUP IS THIS CURRICULUM?

This Modern World History curriculum is intended for elementary students: Grades: 3-6, but can be used for students as young as Kindergarten or as old as students in grade 7 and grade 8.

WHAT IS  OMNIBUS?  

Omnibus is a Latin term meaning all-encompassing. Teaching Modern World History / Omnibus, {eg: Social Studies} to Elementary students is probably one of my favorite subjects to teach. Teaching Omnibus is the classical Christian educational approach by teaching history, theology, and literature together.  

This curriculum utilizes the Mystery of History Volume 4 textbook. In order to utilize this curriculum, you will need to purchase the MOH Vol 4 textbook.

The syllabus also references online geography software (listed below) as well as optional geography homework (optional).
