Watching these videos always puts me at ease. We are starting CM 1st grade with my first born (of 4) this fall and I love how relaxed and excited I feel about it. These videos could not have come at a better time for me. Thank you!
How did your first year go? I’m starting this fall with my 1st born in CM 1st grade with a 3 year old and a 6 month old tagging along behind!
I'm crying. Thank you for this simple explanation. I needed this so much
You're very welcome!
Thank you SO much, Sonya. You have answered many of my questions about your history course!!! This was FABULOUS!! Blessings, and thank you for all the wonderful SCM resources 💕. Lil 🇦🇺
Your clever schedule has been so helpful. Thank you🌸
I am excited to use this. I have been a little over whelmed with all the curriculum options out there. I like that you emphasis the simple approach. Simple is what I am looking for. Thank you
This came at the perfect timing! Thankyou so much, Sonya! This is our first year starting at the beginning, with 4 children grades 1,3,5, and 7. We are thrilled to find a curriculum that uses the Bible as a guide! God bless you!
Such a helpful video!! I think your videos just keep getting better and better.
I would love to hear your plan for a 9th grader going into the high school years.
With our family-style curriculum, a 9th grader will be following wherever the family is at in the history and Enrichment subjects. That just leaves a few subjects that need to be done individually at a 9th grade level. We have a full list of recommendations for those subjects here: simplycharlottemason.com/planning/curriculum-guide/individual-graded-subjects/
So helpful!! Thanks for this video. I know you made it a long time ago, but deciding where to start is puzzling.
This was super helpful in figuring out how to make this work for the upper grade levels!!
So helpful to show us how to make a 6 year cycle work for different situations!!
So helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this. My husband gives me alot of free reign in our homeschool, but he's a little confused as to why we're not studying American history yet when he knows we were in Gen. And and ancient Egypt in the fall. Hopefully showing him this video will help him understand that I DO have a plan and that we WILL get to America, and specifically Kansas history.
Love this! Love that the Bible is right along with history and is history! ❤️
I am doing Year 1 this school year and going great. Ancient Egypt really interesting.
I would be really sad if I can't fit ancient history in multiple times...it's my favorite thing ever.
Hi, Thank you for joining us and sharing your thoughts on this topic! Here is a link to SCM's history guides. You will notice that "Ancient Egypt," "Ancient Greece," and "Ancient Rome" are each addressed separately over the course of a year alongside the Bible.

This helps so much, we are starting in 1st grade 🙏
So helpful! Thank u! I'm working out next year's curriculum..I'll have a 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 3 grader! It's dizzy-ing but this helps so much!
Very glad that you found this episode to be helpful in tackling a plan with all of the grades you have to teach! Please reach out with any additional questions you may have as you are planning for next year!
Hi Sonya~
I want to make my order for this schoolyear! Unfortunately, I either need someone's help over the "phone"; or, if you are willing, a step-by-step video of how to order for a complete year (or term)? I'm not sure I can do it without one or the other.
Much gratitude,
Momma of 3rd grader, kindergartener, and two preschoolers
We'll be happy to help! Please send a message to contact@simplycharlottemason.com and we'll be in touch to help you determine which resources you need.
My oldest is 5, so we have not started formal lessons yet. But she is followed by a 3 year old and 5 month old. I was curious to see if I start her with genesis at 1st grade and then 2 years later I'm saying the next child in, do I place them in history where my daughter is? Cycle back to genesis later?
Exactly! Your younger ones can join the history cycle where your oldest is when they are old enough to begin formal schooling. Once you finish Modern Times, you'll repeat the cycle and your younger children will join in for Genesis then.
I'm loving the idea of this. But what if your student is starting in 9th grade, and therefore doesn't have 6 years to play with?
Hi Holly! We believe one of the goals of education is not to cram as much as you can into a specified time but to bring students into a relationship with the feast laid before them. It will be important that if your student is an American high school student, they complete both Early Modern Times and Modern Times. These 2 guides each provide 1/2 credit towards American and World history as well as 1/3 credit towards Bible. You can schedule the sequence however you prefer (starting with whichever guide and moving forward) provided they complete those 2 guides in high school.
I'm considering starting the 6 year history cycle but my oldest is going to be in 11th grade and needs World History.. Would I just start with EM and MT then start the 3rd year with Gen... ? My boys will be in 5, 9 and 11th next year.
This is a great question, Kimberly, you can certainly start where is needed right now for your oldest and use that as a family for all of your children. I highly recommend reading through this blog of ours as a supplement to this video which explains the 6 year history cycle in a written form for you to see visually and how to use it with multiple children. It explains how you can do as you are already doing to map out when each child would then go through which resource: simplycharlottemason.com/blog/using-the-6-year-history-cycle/ please let me know if you have additional specific questions I can help answer.
I really like how this is laid out, but we are in Canada and need to include Canadian history and geography. Do you have any recommendations for whether or how much of the series would work for us? Would we just need to supplement with something for the last 2 cycles?
Hi Carly! We encourage Canadian families to omit the US history portions of our Early Modern Times and Modern Times history guides and in its place, add Canadian history. Canadian geography is covered in Visits to North America (scheduled in Early Modern Times).
@@SimplyCharlotteMason Thank you! I haven't had a chance to look, but do you have anything for Canadian history, or should I just source this elsewhere?
@@debbydoodler33 We do not have anything specifically to cover Canadian history however you may be able to find resources recommended by other families using our free CM Bookfinder: apps.simplycharlottemason.com
@@SimplyCharlotteMason Perfect, thanks so much
I have one student and we are finishing American History in 7th grade. How could you do this curriculum for starting one student one year late, in 8th grade?
It sounds like you might want to start with Matthew through Acts & Ancient Rome or Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation & Epistles in 8th so that you'll hit Early Modern and Modern Times in high school.
@@SimplyCharlotteMasonThank you.
Hi, how would you recommend we use the schedule with a 9th grade, 7th grader and 4th grader? This is for next year. Thank you!
We are in the same situation. Soon to be 4th and 7th grader
Hi, You can start at any point in the 6 year history cycle. It would be recommended that you proceed in chronological order from where you start and keep in mind that students often need credits from the Early Modern and Modern guides in high school. Depending on the readings completed and the quality of narrations your seventh grader is completing, you may be able to give them high school credit in middle school as the book lists for the guides are divided for grades 7-9 and 10-12.

I don’t understand why the cycle repeats itself? Are you not covering everything as you go through it and don’t move on until the subject is complete? For many of the examples you had, you just repeated what was already learned previously, that doesn’t make sense to me? Could someone help me understand why you wouldn’t either do something else or choose a higher level coursework if the child really wanted that deeper dive into history specifically?
Hello Mindy,
Most CM homeschools study history on either a 4 or 6 year cycle. For example, you might study the Middle Ages in 3rd grade and 9th grade. While the time period is the same, the books assigned are at a higher level in 9th grade and any narrations would be of a higher quality. Our history guides are set up to provide lesson plans for grades 1-12. There is a family read aloud and then students are assigned individual books based on their grade level.
