We Are

SECULAR & FACT-BASED

That's right, a truly secular history curriculum.
We believe everyone has a place at the table when it comes to telling history. We teach the role of religion in history, but do not teach (or preach) from a religious worldview.

Slide

We Are

GLOBAL & INCLUSIVE

We teach history from a truly global, non-Eurocentric perspective. We believe everyone's history deserves to be told. We also work hard to include the contributions of women and traditionally underrepresented groups.

MULTI-AGE

We write for a broad age-range to accommodate family-style learning. The difficulty of our books increases with each level, so your child can grow with our books.

The targeted age-range of each book is listed on our About page, but our books are content-rich enough to engage learners of many levels. In fact, many parents have told us they've learned a good bit while reading our books!

CULTURAL HISTORY

The wars, battles, and empires of history are important, but there's a whole lot more to history! Art, science, music, dance, mathematics, architecture, and philosophy are all critical components to what makes us human. We explore cultural history as well as political history to create an in-depth history experience that celebrates all types of human achievement.

With Curiosity Chronicles your child will:

Learn to discuss complex ideas

Our books are written as a back-and-forth dialogue between our main characters, Mona and Ted. The dialogue format allows us to present alternative views and competing historical facts. It allows us to discuss the role of often underrepresented people who are ignored by narrative-heavy history. The dialogue also allows Ted and Mona to break down complex ideas piece by piece. This not only makes complex ideas accessible but it also models for students how to discuss complex ideas.

Develop critical thinking skills

Students will learn not only what happened in history but also why those events happened. Students will learn the building blocks of human societies and how one change often leads to another. With Mona and Ted as their guides, students will learn to analyze events and apply those skills to new situations.

Engage in hands-on learning

The learning doesn't stop when the chapter is over. Our activity guides include map work, timelines, supplemental reading, art projects, science projects, research projects, recipes, Minecraft building prompts, review activities, and more to ensure your student will be able to expand and build upon their learning in a meaningful way. We also have lapbooks and interactive notebooks for even more expanded learning.

Make Interdisciplinary Connections

Our chapters often open the door to tangential and cross-subject learning. Is your child learning about place value in math? Our chapter about the Maya in Snapshots of Ancient History explores exactly what place value is and why it's so important. Learning about germs in science class? Our chapter on the Islamic Golden Age in Snapshots of Medieval History discusses the origins of germ theory and why it mattered. Looking for even more learning? Each chapter is followed by a "Want to know more?" box with suggested topics for further study.

Learn Cultural History

Curiosity Chronicles takes an interdisciplinary approach to history. Your child will learn the history of art, music, science, philosophy, and more. Children won't just learn that the Renaissance happened, they'll learn its cultural and artistic significance. We take a holistic view of art and culture, covering the accomplishments of people across the world, rather than focusing only on European "fine arts." We also cover the social movements of the modern era including women's rights, civil rights, and more.
