The Good and the Beautiful Supplement for Classical Conversations Cycle 2

July 31, 2019

Here is a list of The Good and the Beautiful history resources that can supplement Classical Conversations Cycle 2 history memory work.

The Good and the Beautiful has a four year history curriculum for grades 1 to 12.  And this is the perfect supplement to the Classical Conversation history memory work.  I love how pick-up-and-go this system is and I wanted to share how wonderful the program is! Here are just a few features that draw us to this program:

  • Family Style lessons, all children learn together
  • Student packs are included for different age groups, so different ages will go in depth at their own individual level
  • Reading classical selections
  • Fun, engaging, exclusive audio files for many lessons are included 
  • An emphasis on God and character with very little preparation time for teachers

The Good and the Beautiful History books jump around — each covering a bit of ancient, medieval, renaissance, and modern (to include American) history, so because of this, you will be jumping around in the guides.  So far, Years 1, 2, & 3 are available. Year 4 is coming out on August 5th! I’ve already included what I anticipate will be included in that guide.

The Good and the Beautiful history has many sample pages for you to look at before you decide to purchase! We also HIGHLY recommend the board & card games (especially Year 1) as a fun supplement to history learning.

The lesson books are beautifully and simply put together, easy for any homeschooling parent to understand. They correspond with either a Big Book of History Stories (Years 1 & 3) or Maps & Images (Years 2 & 4). These selections focus on classical literature and art, as well as key geography for the student, all beautiful presented in spiral bound books, which is helpful when keeping our place!  

Each year also includes a list of read alouds and has a pack of four fantastic Read Alouds you can purchase and read together throughout the school year.

Year 1

Year 2

Year 3

Year 4

I highly recommend The Good and the Beautiful program. It can be used utilizing the Charlotte Mason method: favoring narration over the question/answer type discussion which is included. This is what we do when we pull it out, and it is easily done.

The Good and the Beautiful history program will provide a fantastic foundations for Biblical and godly history, founded on U.S. history, in particular and its principles of freedom.

    That’s awesome. Will you be doing a history match up for TGATB and CC cycle 3? We are just now getting into TGATB and would love the history matchup for cycle 3.
    Thank you
