Created by Melissa Roy, of Beyond Mommying, the Big Ideas through History program is designed to be an outline for learning and act as a guide for covering world history topics.

Rather than cover topics of world history chronologically, Big Ideas through History is taught through exploration of the big ideas and events that shaped our world through time.

Each Section of Big Ideas through History is designed to cover a complete, stand alone topic and can be taught individually or used to accompany other programs.
