About Year 4

Tapestry Year 4 covers the history of the world during the Twentieth Century and into the present. If your students have used Tapestry in past school years, they will at last see how the events and ideas they have studied over three years result in the world they live in now.

Your children will see how the "isms" of the Nineteenth Century bore bitter fruit. We will study the two World Wars, the rise of Communism, the Cold War, and a generation's search for the meaning of life apart from God. We will see how the rise of technology tempts mankind to believe what the ancients did: that Man is God. Unit 4 contains an in-depth study of modern Middle East history, and a look at the future through the prism of the book of Revelation.
