Live Online Primary Early Modern Course

This course is designed for students in grades 3 and 4.

The course runs for 30 weeks, with 2 lessons each week. 

This course is aligned with our Primary Grades Book 3 Early Modern.

The Modern Era is a highly politicized era, and emotions can run high on many of the topics. We have attempted to give a balanced overview of the global history during this era, without losing our focus on what happened to the Ummah. The Ummah is globally spread out, with the highest concentrations of Muslims living in the Middle East. The Middle East is an area highly contested with many conflicting groups of people. The rise of concepts such as democracy, nationalism, development and industrialization, often have replaced the religion as the main driving force of forming communities, pushing the deen as such more to the background. Nonetheless, we will focus on what is happening in countries where the majority of people are Muslim, as part of our Ummah.

The Primary Modern History Course includes the following:

  • Live Lessons on Zoom
  • Printable sheets and maps
  • Pages from History Intersections


All student pages will need to be downloaded and printed in color.


Should you prefer to have an actual book in hand, you can purchase a copy of the History intersections here and a copy of the student pages here!

History Connections

History in Context

Learning about what happened in the past is essential to understand what is happening in our current society. Giving children a sense that they belong to a larger community is essential for their sense of belonging. Learning about a proud heritage teaches children self-esteem. Infusing this knowledge with Islamic concepts, teaches them good character. Mastering 21st century skills allows them to function in modern society.

Our History Connection series covers the ancients all the way up to the modern history and current issues. This series is intended for grade 1 through 8.

Every year students will take a chunk of this history. In the first book, students will cover from Creation to about 500 C.E. In the second book, they will cover from 500 C.E. until about 1650 C.E. The third era will cover from 1650 C.E. until the Industrial Revolution, approximately 1850 C.E. The last era, the Modern Era, will cover from 1850 C.E. until our current day.

All Eras have Islamic History integrated within global history, with more attention and time spend on important topics in the history of our Ummah.

The four books in this curriculum are consecutive, not only in chronological information but also in building skills.


This series does all that, and more. 


Each curriculum covers a full year of 30 weeks. The curriculum is gradually progressing in skills and knowledge and is packed with activities and extra resources. Islamic concepts and knowledge are integrated as part of the history content.

IDEALS

Our unique approach to learning is summed up in the acronym IDEALS, which covers several methodologies and skills we believe should be covered in all educational programs,whether for primary students or adults. IDEALS stands for Inquiry Based Learning, Differentiated Learning, Experiential learning, Aptitude Training, Lens of Islam, and Social-Emotional Learning.

Inquiry-based learning is an approach to learning that emphasizes the student's role in the learning process. Rather than the teacher telling students what they need to know, students are encouraged to explore the material, ask questions, and share ideas.

Differentiation means tailoring instruction to meet individual needs. Differentiation is a framework for effective teaching that involves providing all learners a range of different avenues for understanding new information.

Experiential learning is the process of learning through experience, and is more specifically defined as "learning through reflection on doing".

Aptitude Training determines how well-equipped students are to make good decisions and solve problems in their academic, professional and personal lives. Skills are the building blocks that allow students to apply the knowledge they acquire in an academic context to real world problems and situations.

Lens of Islam integrates Islamic knowledge into elements of the academic program in order to provide students with an Islamic lens to view the world and to create connections between the deen and the world at large. Viewing the world through an Islamic lens will increase a sense of purpose and meaning, and allows students to foster their Islamic identity and live with integrity.

Social-emotional Learning is the process through which students acquire and apply the skills necessary to manage emotions and social relationships. According to Goleman, social-emotional intelligence “emerges as a much stronger predictor of who will be most successful, because it is how we handle ourselves in our relationships that determines how well we do once we are in a given job”.
