The 7th Grade curriculum picks up where the 6th Grade leaves off.  We begin looking at the development of Ancient Greece around 750 BCE and end at the First Global Age around 1600 CE.  We will cover Greece, Rome, Feudalism in Europe and Japan, the Middle Ages of Europe, Middle East, Asia,  Western Africa,  the Renaissance, the Reformation, the trans-Atlantic and trans-Saharan slave trade, and Exploration.  This is a natural ending point to where the 8th grade curriculum starts.
