Happy New Year Scholé Songs community!
I've been working hard to bump up the release dates for Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. I want all of you to have the peace of mind of knowing that the content will be there for you when you need it... or the flexibility to use whichever cycle best corresponds to the history you are studying in any given year. That said... Look for Cycle 2 to drop this Spring (2025). It has been written and is going through final edits.
I'm very excited to get back into the studio to start producing music again as soon as all of the written resources are finished. I felt like I needed to prioritize having these available for our community and for schools/co-ops that are looking at our materials.
I've also re-imagined how to display the Cycle 1 weekly content online for the All-Access members who do not have printed copies (or who need to pull it up because you are reviewing memory on the go). I think it will make it easier to view on mobile devices. As always, PDFs are available for download for you to print or view on your devices. You can print the guide yourself, or order a beautiful color copy from us.
What's in Cycle 1? I'm glad you asked!

If some of these look familiar, it's because Math, Latin, English Grammar, and Spelling are on a two-year cycle. These items will be identical in Cycles 1 & 3 and Cycles 2 & 4. Of course, Timeline Songs repeat every year, regardless of the cycle.
Here's a current (December 2024) snapshot of which weeks in Cycle 1 already have songs available. (See our Updated Content page for up to date graphics)
