The Complete Classical Homeschool Framework — a full-year, day-by-day classical curriculum for the grammar stage, covering Year 1 of the four-year history cycle: the Ancients.
Organized by stage, not by grade. One book teaches grades 1-4 together — history, science, literature, Latin, memory work and art are done as a family, and only math and phonics split by level. If you have several children in the elementary years, you teach this once. Just $39.
