This unit-study style curriculum uses the history of the world to guide your whole family through an amazing humanities education
TOG (Tapestry Of Grace) was created by Marcia Somerville, a homeschooling mom of many children, as an attempt to get all of her kids on the same page using one curriculum, despite their age/grade differences. Her desire to unify their studies has blessed not only her own family but also the lives of many homeschooling families through her development of the Tapestry of Grace curriculum.

TOG is divided into 4 separate year plans, that each cover a different period of world history. The lessons cover a broad spectrum of school subjects not just history. TOG is a very thorough curriculum that covers the following subjects: history and church history, geography, literature, philosophy, writing and composition. The program does not include a phonics program (or any type of reading and language arts instruction,) math or foreign language.
The curriculum plan contains “teacher’s notes” that are very helpful and include weekly summary of what your students will be learning. This curriculum is mainly literature based. You will use many literature books that are suggested in the unit, each book list being broken down into learning levels. The teacher chooses from the books listed and acquires the titles from a library, book store, or possibly off your own bookshelves. Various worksheets are provided including a lot of discussion questions, hand-on activities, writing assignments and other worksheets to go along with what is recommended to read.
The Lampstand Press website has a great page on their site called The Loom. This page provides many wonderful resources to go with your TOG unit. The supporting links section has many wonderful ideas and resources to continue your study even more.
We received the digital version of Unit 1 and Unit 2. It is great having it on the computer but I think I personally “get” things better when they are hands-on. It is a savings though to purchase the curriculum’s digital version over the printed book format.
The curriculum itself is very well done. There are a lot of great bonuses online. I printed out most of the reading material and placed it in a binder. Then we had printed materials and online resources. I recommend this wonderful well-rounded and very interesting curriculum.
