Social Studies Timeline for Homeschool from Elementary through High School

After reading about the "Story of the World" curriculum and about the benefits of going through history chronologically from the beginning, I decided we would start prehistory and Ancient Civilization studies earlier then what is usually recommended in the learning outcomes. The Story of the World Curriculum is adaptable over approx. 3 grade levels, so both my kids will be doing it together. The second time we cycle through it I will have to use the adult history books by Susan Wise Bauer or find other material to fit the same time period, as my daughter will be going through it twice.

"Story of the World" includes Biblical history as well, wherever it fits in chronologically. Once we get into the Middle Ages and Modern Times I think it would be interesting to keep learning about Church History up until the current time, as we go through the timeline to the beginning of time until the present time.

Our schedule will look something like this:
