Our humanities class is a study of a specific time period, not just history but all the aspects one can learn about that period. For instance, we finished antiquities last year. We studied the civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, Greece and Rome. During each of these civilizations we learned their history, art, music, architecture, literature, businesses, philosophy, science and so on. I have chosen to study humanities when my kids are in high school. We use a core curriculum for humanities called Gileskirk, by George Grant. After listening to the first few lectures a couple of years ago, my husband and I decided that all our kids will go through this 4 year course. My husband usually listens to the audio lectures 2-3 time each year. They are that good. If you want to read more about it HERE
