World History Curriculum

THE PARENT GUIDE
The Precious People Volume 2 (our original Precious People now designated Volume 2) is your go-to for giving your homeschool students a literature-based education. The guide will lead you through daily readings designed to introduce your child to ancient history through the early Middle Ages and along with studies of non-Western cultures through engaging literature and projects. 

As your child learns about ancient Israel, Egypt, Greece, Rome and more through books and projects, they will better understand the foundations of Western culture and literature and develop compassion for people worldwide.

The parent guide includes Bible, literature, geography, nature study, poetry, narration, Aesop’s Fables, science experiments, art, practical life skills, and more.

THE STUDENT SHEETS-ELEMENTARY, PRINT, CURSIVE, AND KINDER
The student sheets include poetry selections, Bible verses, hand-drawn illustrations, and copy work in both print and cursive. We also include an elementary copywork version for students who have moved beyond tracing, and a Kinder version for students in preschool or kindergarten to follow along.

These sheets will help your child with beginning composition and grammar, form drawing, handwriting, and vocabulary skills as they trace or copy their page.

THE PRECIOUS PEOPLE RECIPES
The Precious People Recipes includes recipes to correspond with the weekly readings. You will expand the skills you learned in The Playful Pioneers or The Kind Kingdom and The Peaceful Preschool to give your child a taste for what people from ancient history and other cultures ate.

THE PRECIOUS PEOPLE ART

The art file includes beautiful images that coincide with the weekly lessons in the parent guide.

THE CO-OP GUIDE

We also include a handy co-op guide so that you can gather friends and enjoy studying world history together.

      What Makes It Different

      What Makes It Different
      • Developmentally gentle and whole-child focused

        Early years resources prioritize strong motor, auditory, and visual skills, the building blocks for long-term academic success, while elementary resources nurture wisdom and virtue through beautiful stories and conversations.

      • Literature-rich learning

        Each week is thoughtfully curated around great books that spark curiosity and cultivate a lifelong love of reading and learning.

      • Hands-on, screen-free activities

        Practical skills, nature study, and crafts strengthen fine and gross motor skills while engaging the senses and imagination, and science experiments and mapwork nurtures awareness of the world around us. No screens required.

      • Simple, open-and-go structure

        Parent guides are laid out clearly and concisely, making it easy for brand-new homeschool families and seasoned parents to begin with confidence.

      • Designed for connection

        The guides invite you to slow down, learn alongside your child, and enjoy the homeschool years.

      Life giving

      I tell you, you can feel the weight of richness and value in these guides. It's really beyond words for me and I'm just so grateful that the Peaceful Press exists and has created these guides that help connect and truly educate our children and families as a whole. Not sure if I've left a review before, but I'm practically gushing.

      Precious people

      It’s has been a breath of fresh air for our family! We desperately needed to step away from the workbook for every subject mindset and focus on our connection. This has been a great tool to do just that!

      Prepping for fall

      Easy to print files, well organized and easy to order book lists. Made my fall prep simple and easy while also knowing I’m not missing anything and we’ll have a well rounded year!

      Loved These Books!

      I’ve used many of the Peaceful Press curriculums, but I think this one may be my favorite. So many of these books were new to me, but I found myself (along with my 7 and 9 year
      old) loving the stories and the corresponding lessons.

      The most precious bundle

      I am so impressed by how organized this bundle is. It is full of amazing art and recipes. What sold me was the book lists and the rest accompanies it beautifully. I can not wait to dive in for this coming school year.

      Definitely feeling peaceful

      There’s just something about this program with all the thoughtfulness put into it. It brings back a sense of feeling at ease. I really like that the guide includes a schedule suggestion keeping in mind you still need to insert math and other subjects.
      We’re using it for second grade and hopefully my preschooler gleans on some things. We just started so we’re looking forward to it all.

      Beautiful curriculum

      This will be our third year using these resources. I can only imagine The Precious People will be as outstanding as the Kind Kingdom and Playful Pioneers. Highly recommend!

      Wonderful Family Resource

      We really enjoyed doing Precious People as a family. All of the kids enjoyed it (ages 5-11) and we made many memories with the fun activities and wonderful picture books. We are using Kind Kingdom this year following the history cycle. Thanks for such fantastic resources!
