Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 9
This course will look at World War II history on a weekly basis.  Each week will cover various different military operations, developments, or battles that occurred during that week between 1939 and 1945.  This class will look at significant events from both the Axis and Allied sides of the conflict.  While the military operations and developments of the countries will be focused on, significant social and political events will also be mentioned.   
The class will run as an ongoing course, meaning that if students do not withdraw from the course, parents will be billed weekly for our meetings.  Students are free to join and withdraw as they please from this course.  

Each week will include a presentation of one event in World War II history that occurred in that particular week.  
Students are encouraged to do their own (optional) research each week and share their findings in class.  

The instructor will be available digitally during the week through the Outschool classroom to consult with students who have elected to attend class in any particular week and have chosen to complete the optional research.
