BiblioPlan brings classical chronological history to life for families teaching grades K-12 together through its comprehensive four-year cycle covering Ancient, Medieval, Early Modern, and Modern periods. This Protestant Christian curriculum integrates biblical history, church history, world history, and geography alongside extensive living book lists, making it ideal for families seeking a Well-Trained Mind approach without spending hours building their own lesson plans. The program works especially well for multi-age homeschools since children study the same historical era simultaneously using materials at their own reading level.
The core Family Guide provides detailed weekly lesson plans with curated literature selections for four different grade levels, while the Remember the Days textbook (grades K-7) or Companion textbook (grades 8-12) serves as the spine. Parent prep time stays minimal since the curriculum offers open-and-go structure with clear instructions, though families can expand learning through optional components like Cool History workbooks, map activities, timelines, and discussion guides. The comprehensive nature means history can become your hub subject, potentially earning credits for literature, geography, and religion at the high school level.
Parents appreciate the thorough biblical worldview integration and flexibility to customize depth based on family needs, though some note the sheer volume of suggested resources can feel overwhelming when deciding what to include. The text-heavy Companion requires significant daily reading time compared to lighter options like Mystery of History, and families focused on U.S. history may find the Early Modern and Modern volumes more America-centric than needed. Consider reviewing sample chapters to ensure the reading level and daily time commitment align with your family's pace and goals.
