History and Social Science

Our History and Social Science courses include the study of law, philosophy, economics, U.S. and world history, and psychology. Reading and writing, lively classroom discussions, and simulations are at the heart of all our offerings. Younger scholars can enjoy learning about ancient history, geography, great explorers, and the United Nations, while courses for older students cover material typically found in introductory college-level classes. All courses are led by expert instructors who are skilled at working with bright kids just like you. Whichever course you choose, you'll gain important insights into the inner workings of government, world civilizations, global culture, and the human mind.
