World History of the Middle Ages
Culture, Empires and Adventure
Full Middle School Semester - Grades 7-10
 
A complete, ready-to-use world history course that guides you through an entire semester of learning with everything organized, structured, and prepared for you.
This course explores one of the most interesting periods in history by investigating five distinct people groups and regions that are often overlooked, offering a broader view of the diversity and ingenuity of the time.

Europeans
Pirates
Vikings
The Mongolian Empire
Polynesians (Indigenous wayfinding cultures)
 
Students are invited to look beyond surface-level history and consider how each group shaped and experienced this time period. Through reading, discussion, and creative work, they engage with multiple perspectives and develop a deeper understanding of their place in history.
