🔄 Understanding the Three Cycles

Classical Conversations uses a three-year rotating curriculum:

🏛️ Cycle 1: Ancient History

Covers creation through the fall of Rome, including ancient civilizations, early church history, and foundational scientific concepts.

🏰 Cycle 2: Medieval to Modern

Explores the Middle Ages through early modern times, including the Renaissance, Reformation, and age of exploration.

🗽 Cycle 3: US History

Focuses on American history from colonization to modern day, including civics, government, and American geography.

Each cycle contains 24 weeks of content across all seven subjects, designed to be repeated as children grow, with deeper understanding each time through.

💡 Tips for Parent Involvement

Study Together: Sit with your child during lessons, especially for younger children
Discuss the Content: Use car rides and meal times to review what they've learned
Celebrate Milestones: Acknowledge completed weeks and achievements
Connect to Real Life: Point out history, science, and geography in everyday experiences
Pray Together: Use the concluding prayers as family devotional moments
Be Consistent: Regular short sessions are better than irregular long ones

🙏 Remember

The goal is not perfection but faithfulness. Some days will be better than others, and that's okay. What matters is the steady, loving instruction you provide over time.
