TRISMS is an acronym for Time Related Integrated Studies for Mastering Skills. It involves a lot of reading and research and coming to conclusions based on information gathered. It covers Language Arts, History, Geography, Science (though not real Hard Science), Art History and Music History. Erin would start with The History Makers which is a study of World History concentrating on scientists, inventions and exploration. Some folks do it all in one year, typically the 8th grade. Most spread it out over two years; 7th and 8th to give the kids more time to learn the drill of the research and writing. When they start the high school program they do a different book each year, progressing up through time. Check out the website HERE
