Stories of the Old World is a great addition to any fourth grade classical Catholic homeschool curriculum, as it not only focuses on geography, history, and civics, but also looks at history through a Catholic lens. Students will clearly see how God has played a role in civilizations throughout history, and will learn the context in which biblical stories and saints’ lives took place.
Stories of the Old World uses storytelling to introduce students to the civilizations and events that shaped our world. From ancient Egypt and Israel to the Age of Exploration, students will move through different time periods and gain a thorough understanding of who, where, and what was important in these different civilizations. Civilizations covered include:
- Egypt and Israel
- Persia and Babylon
- Greece and Rome

With a focus on combining geography and history, this course also highlights salvation history as part of Kolbe Academy’s mission to provide a classical education that forms the whole person in Truth and Goodness.
