I was at a loss looking for a minimally biased history curriculum, then I found the Nomadic Professor. Their World History program has been everything I could have hoped for. Great information, interesting videos and flexibility to make it work with our family's needs. Since my son has some significant learning disabilities we took the recommended schedule and stretched it over 8 months. It was the most challenging course he's ever done but he successfully completed it and wants to do World History Part 2 as this year's history.

Same old information presented and taught to 21st century kids! The typical "brick and mortar" school system asks children — who are used to constant stimulation — to sit down and listen to lectures. Which, more often than not, they are incapable of doing. The Nomadic Professor offers a completely different, hands-ON approach to teaching. The Nomadic Professor's lessons are rich with images, videos, and audio lessons. As well as the physical aspect, guided notes, timelines, maps, building a physical "structure of terms" and even curating a museum! As a homeschooling parent, I have learned that my children retain information better by using as many senses during each lesson as possible. Using The Nomadic Professor's detailed outline, my kiddos are watching, they're listening, they're building, they're cutting, pasting, curating, and creating! They are engaged, entertained, and learning! That makes a lot of senses! I can't say enough about this program. It's obvious the creators are well-educated and that they have committed themselves to putting it all into creating a completely new and different way to learn history. They've done an outstanding job! Images: This is just a glimpse of one of the many activities the Nomadic Professor uses to keep kids engaged. Each lesson has a timeline worksheet(s) to fill in with bullet points, topic sentences, or the like. As you go through each lesson and learn more and more about each of the world's peoples, your timeline grows. By the end of the study, the timeline will tell the story of the people in each of the world areas. What a brilliantly effective way to help kids gain and retain knowledge! I love it! Thanks so much, Nomadic Professor!

We are very impressed with Nomadic Professor for several reasons. First and foremost, the content is very thorough and as unbiased as I can imagine a history course as it tries to show all sides of the argument. It gives special attention to training the student to look to original sources and to understand the author's biases when interpreting history. Second, my son finds the content much more engaging than other online history programs as he can read or listen to the content, and there are videos where the professor gives brief lectures from the historical locations. Third, we are impressed that the Nomadic Professor team is very responsive to questions and feedback. My son has completed US History 1&2 and is now working on 3&4.

For my homeschooled 9th grader’s history class this year, we are using The Nomadic Professor’s US History curriculum. As the Supervising Teacher (the teacher at home who’s administering and guiding), I appreciate that: ~There is no narrative taught. There are just historical facts. ~The curriculum has its bases covered for all types of learners (auditory, visual, reading/writing, and kinesthetic) and uses logical and critical thinking skills. ~They have comprehensive answer keys and grading rubrics, making correcting and grading very simple. ~You can choose the difficulty level for your student, so it’s very flexible, allowing for several options in terms of high school credits. ~They make the learning curve for a new curriculum/platform fairly easy with a lot of guidance, and their customer service is very helpful and responds to questions quickly. Overall, we are extremely happy with our choice to use The Nomadic Professor for history!

I could not be happier with this curriculum! My daughter is currently using the first year American History course. Though history has never been her favorite subject, she does appreciate the way the course format presents information in a more visual and engaging way. She also finds the audio recordings for each section helpful. It is a very comprehensive and rigorous course and for the first several weeks my daughter struggled to balance the work with her other courses. The last thing I wanted was for her to get a bad taste for history, so I reached out to the company to ask how we might adjust the course load and they were super helpful in offering several suggestions. Since implementing some tweaks she's scoring higher on the quizzes and her written assignments are of better quality. Best of all, a few times now she's brought up something she learned in the course, relating it to whatever we're discussing. That shows me she's retaining and really thinking about the information-as a parent, I couldn't ask for more!
