Hear from parents and students about their experience with Knowable World Courses: 

“Mr. Powell has a unique perspective and approach to teaching historical mindedness.  His material does not in any way mimic the usual fare taught in a history course.  His students develop a real curiosity for history and how our past is reflected in our current world.  They process historical information intellectually and personally rather than memorizing odious unrelated and irrelevant details.  Details are marvelous if they flesh out the picture or feed an insatiable curiosity, but the appetite needs to be in place first.  Powell History stimulates that appetite.”  - Ellen, Massachusetts

“After being homeschooled for seven years, Mr. Powell’s history course was a wonderful way for me to get a taste of the classroom setting. I enjoyed how he kept us constantly engaged and involved during his lectures, which made it easier to remember the material and stay focused. This program is packed with information, but is presented in such a way that it is not too much to handle. I’m looking forward to continuing with his courses throughout my education.”  - Lucy, California (Age 13)
