Class Information
Description
Is getting your learner excited about ancient history harder than taming a woolly mammoth? This course is here to change that. Or if they already love history, they’re in for an unforgettable adventure! Here, learners aren’t just students—they’re tribal leaders, pharaohs, and adventurers. Over fourteen action-packed weeks, they won’t just study history—they’ll experience it.
From guiding early humans through survival challenges to ruling Egypt’s Three Kingdoms and vacationing in Minoan and Mycenaean ruins, learners step into history through immersive simulations. They’ll uncover the cultural legacies of ancient China, India, Israel, and more, making connections between the past and today.
What’s Included:
- Immersive Simulations – Step into history as a tribal leader, ruler, or ancient innovator.
- Hands-On Activities – Create, design, and build with projects like the Ancient Civilizations Theme Park.
- Critical Thinking & Discussion – Explore history through engaging activities that spark curiosity and deeper understanding.
By the end, your learner won’t just understand history’s impact—they’ll see it, experience it, and maybe even love it.
This isn’t just a history class—it’s a journey of creativity, problem-solving, and connection that makes the ancient world come alive!
**Ancient Civilizations Theme Park Project: To showcase their comprehension of classical civilizations, learners will undertake the exciting task of designing an Ancient Civilizations Theme Park. Each learner will create a section of their theme park dedicated to four of the civilizations: Mesopotamia, Indus Valley, Egyptian, Chinese, Israel, Phoenicia, Minoan or Mycenaean. Learners will creatively craft rides, restaurants, attractions, and concession stands that authentically capture the spirit and essence of the respective civilization.
Please note: The specific requirements and guidelines for both projects will be provided in class.
Policies
REFUND POLICY: I understand the appeal of booking in advance to secure a spot in classes, but I also acknowledge that circumstances may change. If you need to withdraw your learner for any reason up to ten days before the class's start date, I will gladly issue a full refund. Please don't hesitate to contact me in such cases. For inquiries regarding sibling discounts, please reach out for further assistance.
Active Participation: In this class, active participation is key to meaningful engagement and learning. Learners are strongly encouraged to contribute to discussions, share their perspectives, and ask questions. To promote critical thinking and effective in-class interactions, the chat feature should be used sparingly. While quick questions or clarifications are welcome, longer answers or discussions are best reserved for face-to-face interactions during class time.
Punctuality: It’s essential for learners to arrive on time for this class. While late arrivals are welcome to join and participate from the moment they arrive, we won’t be able to restart simulations or catch up on missed activities due to time constraints. To ensure the best experience for everyone, punctuality is strongly encouraged.
