American History
U.S. History (grades 9-12) will explore American History from its origins in native people through the Western colonization and into modern times. Classes will be interactive and story-driven, with an emphasis on critical thinking. A broad approach will integrate the arts and literary movements with historical and political events. Designed to meet the requirements for high school history, it is a stand-alone course or the perfect compliment to the American Literature course.
Students in American History participate in simulations, games, and interactive discussions. They will create meaningful projects to deepen their understanding of each era of our nation’s past. Students are engaged in learning history because they are allowed to think critically, work cooperatively, and express themselves creatively. This class is the equivalent of one high school history credit. |
