American History is a year-long survey of the history of the United States from the colonial period to the dawn of the 20th century. Students will learn about the indigenous societies that existed in North America before European colonization, the religious and cultural background of Colonial America, the trials and tribulations faced by the nation’s founding fathers, the physical growth of the United States, and the great clash over slavery and states rights that culminated in the American Civil War. The course will end with a description of the “seeds” of America’s superpower status as the world approached the 20th century. Coursework will include daily reading and homework assignments, periodic in-class quizzes, tests taken at home under a parent’s supervision, and two research projects.

World History is a story-based survey of mankind’s journey through time.  Far more than simple names and dates, this class presents the narrative of human history in the words of those who witnessed the great moments in history from ancient Mesopotamia to the Second World War.  More importantly, World History challenges readers to think critically and form their own opinions on a variety of subjects.  Through the lens of humanity’s greatest thinkers and philosophers, readers will grapple with a number of serious topics and begin to develop a worldview that will shape their lives long after they leave high school.
