What is Tapestry of Grace?
Tapestry of Grace is a homeschool curriculum: a plan of study
that helps parents provide a Christian, classical education using a
guided unit study approach, with the history of the world as the
core organizational theme. From Grades K–12, all students cycle
through world history every four years, with all ages studying the
same slice of history each week, each at their own learning level.
Detailed lesson plans and discussion outlines enable parents to be
their children’s primary teachers and mentors and shape their
students’ biblical worldviews.
Tapestry covers the humanities: history, church history, literature,
geography, fine arts, government, philosophy, and writing &
composition. Tapestry does not include a phonics program, science,
math, grammar, spelling, or foreign language.
Lampstand Press does,
however, recommend complementary logic, spelling, and
grammar programs.
Week to week, Tapestry integrates all subjects: people, events, and
movements are studied in the time period in which they were most
influential. Lessons are presented from all modalities: visual,
auditory, and tactile. For younger children, a variety of hands-on
ideas are provided each week. A range of educational options are
presented, from which students and parents choose the best content
and quantity for their unique families. Although the teacher is in
control of the students’ assignments, rich weekly studies are always
provided for each individual family.
