Welcome to Ancient History
Rabbit Hole Learning's Ancient History course invites elementary students on a 30-week journey through the ancient world, from the first humans to the great civilizations of Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Rather than memorizing names and dates, students explore the same big questions people everywhere have faced: where did they live, how did they survive, what did they create, and what can we still learn from them today. Through narrated lessons, rich illustrations, picture books, and hands-on activities, kids discover that history isn't just about famous kings and empires, it's the story of ordinary people solving problems, building communities, and sharing ideas across every corner of the globe.Wednesdays at 1:00 PM ET
September 23 – January 14 (15-week semester)
Travel back in time to explore the world's first civilizations! Through engaging stories and hands-on activities. Learners will discover how people lived, what they believed, and how their ideas shaped the world we know today.
We'll visit ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, Persia, Greece, Rome, and more while asking big questions about leadership, fairness, innovation, and community.
Tuition: $150 per family for the full 15-week semester. Siblings are welcome to participate at no additional cost.
No class: November 25 or December 23.
