Great Stories
A Series for the Homeschooling Family
Set along a dramatized narrative that initiates at the Big Bang, this series of impressionistic stories ignites a sense of wonder in children, granting them understanding and appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things. This is a Deep Time, Big History perspective on the evolution of the universe itself.
​
Embedded within these inspiring stories is an interdisciplinary, systems approach to cosmology, geography, evolutionary biology, anthropology, history, linguistics, and mathematics.
The Story of The Universe and Earth
The Story of Life
The Story of Humans
The Story of Writing (Coming Soon!)
The Story of Math (Coming Soon!)
Each of the five Great Stories is covered over 6 in-person presentations one week apart, with science experiments, beautiful materials, artistic demonstrations, and hands-on projects to build your child's concrete understanding of these abstract and larger-than-life concepts.
​
However, the purpose is not just to convey factual information but to spark your child's curiosity and encourage further exploration and study. Your child will be offered opportunities and guidelines for additional study in between sessions.
Human history is seen as part of the history of our Earth and biosphere, and the Earth’s history, in turn, is seen as part of the history of the Universe. In this way, the different disciplines that make up this large story can be used to illuminate each other. The unified account of the past assembled in this way can help us understand our own place within the Universe.
