Ancient History: From Creation to the Fall of Rome
Step back in time and journey from Creation through to the Fall of Rome with our Ancient History Unit—a rich, living-book-style curriculum designed for the whole family to enjoy together. With hands-on projects, Bible integration, grammar lessons, weekly devotions, and creative portfolio activities, your students will not just learn about history… they’ll experience deep learning that lasts.
What They’ll Learn
History & Geography
Explore the great civilisations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel, Greece, Rome, China, and beyond.
Create detailed maps of ancient empires and trace journeys like Paul’s voyage to Rome.
Build an interactive wall timeline, pegging events as they study them to see God’s story of history unfold visually.
Re-enact ancient feasts, dramas, and daily life through costumes, food, and portfolio projects.
Bible & Faith Integration
See how ancient history aligns with God’s Word—Creation, the Flood, the Tower of Babel, the kingdom of Israel, and the spread of the gospel through Rome.
Anchor each civilisation’s story with key Scriptures that show God’s hand at work across the nations.
Grow in understanding of God’s faithfulness through biblical characters such as David, Daniel, Paul, and more.
Enjoy weekly devotions that invite your family to pause, reflect, and apply biblical truths to everyday life.
English, Literacy & Grammar
Read living books and historical narratives that capture the imagination.
Narrate, reflect, and record in journals to develop comprehension and communication skills.
Strengthen language through weekly grammar lessons, spelling, and copywork that tie directly into the history content.
Build a family portfolio with written responses, polished sentences, and creative projects.
Art & Design
Construct models like the Ark, the Tower of Babel, or Roman architecture.
Design costumes, shields, and mosaics to bring the ancient world to life.
Create a growing collection of illustrated timeline cards to peg in order as history unfolds.

Taste the ancient world with recipes such as Egyptian flatbread, Israelite lentil stew, Greek moretum, and Roman honey cakes.
