Cycle 1
Cycle 1
Cycle 1 is a Classical, Charlotte Mason-style flexible & whole-family reading plan, going through ancient history and ending with the Fall of Rome.
STAR Homeschool Community started with Cycle 2 in the 2022-2023 school year, mainly because my family had already spent quite a bit of time in Ancient History, and Cycle 1 covers Ancient History. Therefore, the reading plans for Cycle 1 are not yet complete. They are expected to be completed by May 2025. If there is an active link below, that subject is complete. I’ll be adding to this page as I go, so you won’t have to wait until May 2025 to see all of it. Make sure to subscribe to know when I publish new content. You can subscribe to particular section of the site and only see this cycle if you like.
