Does anyone know what ages these are intended for? I couldn't find it on the website. Would they be suitable for a secular hser? I'm considering them for classical studies in the future. Thanks!

I believe they're intended for middle elementary age - grades 3-5, give or take.

I believe you can preview the text at www.mainlesson.com (http://www.mainlesson.com)

I use the Famous Men of the Middle Ages and used some of the Rome material last year when my son was 9. He had no trouble with them.

The original texts were authoured by John Haaren.
The entire text is there--but it gets quite tedious running them off, so if you can afford it, go ahead and purchase them.

The books are definitely suitable for a secular hser. They have the same flavor to me as the Hillyer book, which is basically written to an American audience w/ Judeo-Christian roots, but not to Christians (or evangelicals) specifically.

The guides that accompany them, however, (and I'm only familiar with the Greenleaf Guides) do have some exercises like comparing the Greek Gods w/ the God of the Bible, etc. The discussion questions are excellent, though, so it's worth having them, and just choosing what you want to use.

She is advanced (not genius, though), but they didn't hold her interest. I would think maybe 9 at the youngest.
