The Medieval World - and Beyond!

IN A WORLD of gladiators and emperors, we begin our journey. Our course of study this year will take us from the Roman Empire to the Renaissance. We'll explore aspects of Africa, Europe and Asia in medieval times, as well as trace the rise of Christianity and Islam. Highlights will include...

Adversity! Step into the shoes of samurais and knights as they duke it out in the name of chivalry (or survival).

Adventure! Travel to far off lands in search of faith or fortune on a religious pilgrimage or trading caravan.

Discovery! Gaze into the skies with Copernicus and Galileo as they develop their influential theories.

Inspiration! Peek over the shoulders of Michelangelo and Da Vinci as they create some of the world's most exciting works of art.

You'll experience all this and more! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be hungry for more...
