Children often imagine that people in the ancient world were much different than themselves. Discover with us that humans are the same then, as we are today. In this course, your student will encounter what it means to be truly human.

Drop off your students at 9 am and pick up at 12:30 pm, parents will have the option to stay for a 45-minute seminar at drop off. Even with a shorter schedule, your student will still write and illustrate a book about the ancient world in the 30 weeks.

Each class is limited to 25 student in this "Terra Style" (Project Based Learning) course. In our 30 sessions, your student will address a real-world problem, develop its solution, and present their answer using the skills they acquire. PBL is the act of learning about different subjects simultaneously. This is achieved by guiding students to accomplish a creative goal. Our goal is to write and illustrate a volume of Ancient History, where the student can record their insights about the nature of the human experience.

- Geography - We will learn the history of geographic discovery as well as games and crafts from around the world.
