History

History comes alive when kids see real people, choices, and consequences—not just dates on a timeline. Our History collection brings together vetted, secular resources that help homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers explore the past with nuance and curiosity. You’ll find narrative-rich curricula, primary-source-based programs, live and recorded classes, and tutors who specialize in everything from ancient civilizations to modern global history. Every resource is reviewed for historical accuracy, inclusive perspectives, and age-appropriate depth, so learners can practice critical thinking instead of memorizing a single story. Use the filters to search by era or region, grade band, format (books, unit studies, online courses, or documentaries), and learning needs such as ADHD, dyslexia, autism, giftedness, or 2e. Many families also pair this collection with more focused topics like Black history, Indigenous history, or civics. If you’re not sure where to start or how to cover history without overwhelm, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can help you choose resources that reflect your values and your child’s interests.
