About
The Classical Historian is a history curriculum for middle and high school students written by John De Gree. The program organizes history study around primary source analysis, Socratic seminar discussion, and formal historical essay writing rather than textbook reading and recall. Courses are available for US History, Western Civilization, and World History and include teacher guides, student discussion questions, source excerpts, and essay assignment rubrics. The Classical Historian is often used in co-op settings for its built-in discussion and writing structure, and it appeals to classical families who want a history program that develops argument and analysis skills alongside content knowledge.
