THE COTTAGE LEARNING COLLECTION YEAR 3 • THE FAMILY GUIDE

Colonial America to the Constitution

36-Week Family Homeschool Curriculum • Preschool–High School • Digital Download

Bring your children together around living books, meaningful history, Scripture, nature, and beautiful ideas with Year 3 of The Cottage Learning Collection.

Colonial America to the Constitution is a flexible, Christ-centered homeschool guide inspired by Charlotte Mason and Montessori principles and designed for families teaching multiple ages together—from preschool through high school.

Over 36 weeks, your family will journey from the earliest European settlements in North America through Colonial America, the American Revolution, and the creation of the United States Constitution. Children will encounter people and events such as Jamestown, Pocahontas and the Powhatan people, the Pilgrims, Native nations, Roger Williams, William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, the Great Awakening, George Washington, the Boston Tea Party, the Declaration of Independence, Valley Forge, Yorktown, and the Constitutional Convention.

History is woven together with Bible/PGP, The Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, and hymn connections, helping families explore faith, liberty, courage, responsibility, perseverance, and self-government alongside the historical timeline.

MADE FOR REAL HOMESCHOOL DAYS

This curriculum isn't designed to keep your children at a desk all day.

Lessons are intentionally flexible and encourage parents to stop when genuine attention is gone. Children narrate what they've learned rather than completing piles of worksheets, while afternoons can remain open for sunshine, exercise, exploration, handicrafts, and play. 

You also do not need to purchase every book listed. Choose from books you already own, visit your library, use audiobooks, or select living books that fit your children's interests and abilities.
