An introduction to world history from Ancient Egypt and Sumer through the reformation. You may wish to use this program, with no modification, as the basis for teaching one or more children 10-14 years old. With modification, it may be used with students from 8-15 years old. Many customers combine this program with the Core 1 program to teach students from K on up.

Wondering if your children will ever grasp the flow of world history? You'll be well acquainted with what happened in history through the end of the 16th Century when you're done with the new Sonlight® Core 6 program.

Susan Wise Bauer's much talked about Story of the World provides the narrative foundation to the program, with the Usborne Encyclopedia of World History furnishing a visual backdrop.

Core 6 also uses two Genevieve Foster titles, Augustus Caesar's World and The World of Columbus and Sons, to weave an incredibly rich, historical tapestry.

But the history segment is just the beginning of the treasure you will discover on your journey. Masterful works like I, Juan de Pareja, The Golden Goblet, and The Single Shard, plus almost a dozen other Read-Alouds, will bring past eras to life. Your children will also enjoy Readers such as The Bronze Bow, Adam of the Road, and The Great and Terrible Quest. I look at the titles and fond memories crowd my brain. This is education for the joy of it.

Then, apart from you, your children will enjoy the kinds of Readers for which Sonlight® is famous:

  • The Bronze Bow
  • The Samurai's Tale
  • Adam of the Road
  • The Great and Terrible Quest
  • The Mystery of the Roman Ransom
  • and the list goes on!

The International Children's Bible Field Guide provides introductory notes to each book of the Bible: who wrote it, when they wrote it, where, why, etc. Charts, maps, photos and more help bring the biblical text "alive." And while your children are learning the background to the biblical text, they will also read:

  • 1 and 2 Chronicles
  • Ezra
  • Nehemiah
  • Jonah
  • the narrative portions of Job
  • the Gospel of Luke
  • the Acts of the Apostles
  • and St. Paul's letter to the Galatians

Students are required to do one major research project in Core 6. We recommend that they study a Christian ministry among an ethnic group that does not yet have its own church. Besides this report, we also call upon seventh through ninth grade students to produce a well-reasoned position paper on some subject of personal and national or international concern.

Estimated time requirement on either the four- or five-day-per-week/36-week schedule for a single student studying all subjects, including the Core Program, Science, Math and Language Arts: Child: 4 - 6 hrs/day; Parent: 2 - 3.5 hrs/day direct involvement, availability for remainder of time.

This core was a perfect fit for my 12 year old 7th grader. Everything was right at her ability and interest level.

5 out of 5 stars by GRANT B on 2010-06-18
Wow! I had a fabulous year with my 7th grader using this Core. He is a VERY reluctant reader, so I pared down his assignments a bit, but he still learned so much. He actually loved the history readings (SOTW), and would frequently ask me not to stop. Gasp! Unheard of from this formerly surly child. He is now interested in all things Roman, and I am excited to see what next year has in store for us. This Core was an absolute joy! ~MrsPastorGrant~

We agree with the earlier posts! We love this curriculum and all of the good books and writing assignments in it! It was just the right pick for us as our first homeschooling curriculum! It was so easy to use that I decided to buy Sonlight 1 for my 6 year old!

5 out of 5 stars by ROXANNE S on 2009-04-23
This is our favorite core based on the incredible selection and variety of readers and read-alouds. The writing assignments are creative and varied. We are working through this with child #2 and enjoying it even more than the first time.

Loved it, loved it, loved it. My son would not put these books down and often read the entire week's reading on Monday! Thanks for assembling such a great package!
