Illuminations Year 2 transports your entire family back to the days of the early church and the Middle Ages (A.D. 29 – 1456). Through exciting historical fiction and The Mystery of History Volume II, you will meet dozens of people, famous and infamous, who made an impact on world history: Paul, Nero, Augustine, Charlemagne, Chaucer, Marco Polo, Joan of Arc, and so many more.

Your family can learn about the early church and the Middle Ages together through the timeline activities and hands-on projects such as building a yurt and operating your own general store that is feeling the effects of inflation. History will never be called boring with study guides for great literature such as Crispin: The Cross of Lead (England), The Jeweled Astrolabe (Spain), Son of Charlemagne (France), The Story of Rolf and the Viking Bow (Iceland), and more.

Your Illuminations Year 2 plan integrates literature, copywork, U.S. geography, and spelling to the historical period you are enjoying.  Choose among options for five science fields, Bible reading, vocabulary, several writing and grammar options, life skills studies for high school students, and a government elective.  And once all of your curricula are selected, our powerful Illuminations scheduler software provides customized weekly planning.
