Medieval History & Geography (3rd Grade & Older) (Tues & Thurs)

Through reading, writing, map work and projects, students will learn about important events and people from medieval times. This course will cover the time period from about AD 345 to 1453 and beyond. The vast topics will include The Roman Empire and the Fall of Rome to The Black Death and Hundred Year War. Over the course of the year students will have the ability to express their ideas and interests by participating in class discussions and homework assignments.

US Government & Economics (8th - 12th Grade) (Tues & Thurs)

(1 Credit for High School) 

This course will study how individuals (families, households and businesses) and nations cooperate with each other for mutual benefit. What is the relationship between the national government and economics?

We will use the Socratic discussion format, where students respond to open-ended questions impossible to answer with a simple yes or no, but require an explanation. 

Students will defend their position, listen to other points of view, and change in line with convincing evidence. They will use primary and secondary sources to provide evidence for their arguments. 

We will explore the most influential schools of economic thought, key ideas, and the ongoing debate between them. 

Key schools of thought include: Classical Economics (free markets,18th - 19th century); Keynesian Economics (government intervention 20th century - present); and Austrian School (business cycle theory, 19th century - present)
