๐ฆ Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Book of Centuries is one of the oldest tools in classical education, and one of the most powerful. Charlotte Mason used it with her students. It works because it does what timelines on posters cannot: it puts the studentโs own hand into history.
The Cornerstone Academics Book of Centuries covers 6000 BC to 2026 AD โ eighty centuries, each with its own two-page spread. The left page holds sixteen date and event rows, structured for recording what happened and when: empires that rose and fell, discoveries, battles, key figures, turning points. The right page is structured for illustration: two drawing boxes for portraits, maps, artifacts, or scenes, a notes section with six writing lines, and a Key People strip at the bottom.
Students add entries as they encounter them in their history studies. They donโt fill every century at once. The notebook grows with the curriculum year by year, becoming a complete personal record of everything they have learned about history in their own words and their own hand.
A completed Book of Centuries is both a study tool and a keepsake. It is the kind of artifact a classical education produces โ something a student made, that shows what they know, and that they will keep.

What parents and teachers say.
From the teachers, friends, and parents who know Serena's work from the inside.
Amazing! I love writing and want my children to also develope appreciation for it as well, this curriculum will help cultivate that.
It is perfect for the homeschool family who wants excellent writing style without the stress and pressure. The Teacher's guide walks you through each lesson so you can teach with confidence. Ten stars for Cornerstone Academics!

We are so grateful for Serena! Her patience, kindness, and creative approach to teaching have made learning a wonderful experience for our family. She takes the time to understand how each child learns best and tailors every lesson to keep them engaged and excited. We have seen incredible growth not only in our childโs academic progress, but also in his confidence and love for learning. We could not ask for a better teacher!
