Whichever course you choose, you’ll gain deeper understanding and new perspectives on the inner workings of government, world civilizations, global culture, and the human mind.
Dig into World History and Geography
Explore the world from pre-history though 1500 CE, one continent at a time. In Young Historians: Exploring Africa, you’ll discover how geography and climate played a role in the development of emerging societies. You and your classmates will follow migrations and trade routes to vital civilizations, trading empires, and medieval cities. Through critical reading, writing, argumentation, evidence usage, and historical reasoning, you’ll apply a historian’s reasoning skills to the cultural, scientific, and artistic achievements of African civilizations and trace their influence throughout the modern world.
Contest Your Knowledge of the Courtroom
Join Making Effective Legal Arguments to explore the American legal system, including the inner workings of a courtroom trial and how to present your own legal arguments that meet the threshold of the burden of proof, preponderance of evidence, or reasonable doubt. Collaborate with classmates to analyze fictional court cases and use what you’ve learned to construct, present, and defend arguments in a mock trial.
