Which Grade Levels are Included in the Beautiful Feet Books Middle School Curriculum?
Beautiful Feet Books studies are designed for grade ranges rather than individual grades. For example, a study may span grades 4-7. The book list for each curriculum pack is designed to be appropriate for a range of grades and to make it easy for families to learn together. The right starting point depends on your student's reading level, prior history exposure, and interests. Our middle school curriculum is designed to meet the educational standards for families with:
- 4th and 5th Graders: History homeschool curriculum that bridges the gap between picture books and more advanced topics
- 6th, 7th, and 8th Graders: Homeschool history curriculum focused on deeper reflection and critical thinking
What are Beautiful Feet Books’ Key Approaches to Teaching Homeschool History?
Rather than summarizing history through a textbook, we build each study around books worth reading, reflecting a Charlotte Mason-inspired approach to learning. These living books highlight real stories and the people within them, both the well-known figures and lesser-known ones, so children can step into their shoes and see history through their eyes. This narrative approach makes students want to dig in and keep learning, rather than simply memorizing facts.
Is Your Middle School History Curriculum Secular or Christian?
Some Beautiful Feet Books studies carry light Christian framing, and secular editions are available for those who prefer a faith-neutral approach. Charter school editions are also offered for families using state funds.
