This program seeks to both discern the strands and patterns of the tapestry of time, woven by God in ages past and to help parents weave new tapestries world views that are solid and beautiful in God s eyes. Through the study and discussion of all aspects of history, we teach our children the facts, thoughts and experiences of humankind as it unfolded. This organizational framework encompasses all our children need to learn.
History provides an orderly plan with a place for every discipline and every branch of knowledge.
When fully developed , Tapestry of Grace will provide detailed lesson and discussion plans for world, church, art, technology, science, government, and American histories, world and American literature, vocabulary development, hands-on projects, group projects, geography, and time line work. It will offer a writing curriculum that is tied into the historical studies and builds skills cumulatively over 12 years. This curriculum will also not encompass high school level lab sciences. In discussing art, alternate religions and philosophies, we try to understand why the worldviews of those who wrote and read these works were affected as they were. Ideally, the program is designed as a 4-Year program that is repeated three times with each child.
