That's exactly what we did where I grew up... Starting from grade 5.
In history class: Analysing contradictory sources and observing how history gets made. In physics: Doing our own experiments and deriving formulas from that. In politics: Debating and negotiating resolutions, UN-style. In Latin: reading (simple excerpts) from De Bello Gallico.
