Were Hamilton and Burr REALLY friends???  Did Angelica REALLY have a crush on Hamilton???  Did Hamilton REALLY help Jefferson win the Election of 1800??  Attend classes that will uncover the stories behind the story, learning about the REAL lives of our founding fathers, mothers and their contemporaries. 

The Broadway production of the life of Alexander Hamilton and his contemporaries has captured the interest of learners of all ages, but is it all true?  Unfortunately it is not all true.  BUT, sometimes truth is even BETTER than Broadway!  Join us and discover the stories behind the story of the struggle for colonial America's independence from Britain and the early years of the republic.  While the story of the founding of the United States is not a Disney fairy tale, the good, bad and ugly is a story worthy of being told.  
Will you be a part of the narrative?  

The teaching style is an interactive one where slides and/or media is used to present the lesson, then engaging in interactive activities including using the whiteboard in Zoom, graphic organizers, readers' theater, completing handouts provided in advance, role playing and discussion will comprise the remainder of the class.  Students do not need any prior knowledge about the 18th century or the people covered in this class.  Students may use Kahoot, Menti.com, or other interactive tools during classes. 
Each class will delve into the lives of our founders, the experiences that shaped them, and the contribution they made.  Not all of these people have pristine backgrounds.  Owning slaves, committing crimes, rebelling against their families, activism on behalf of an end to slavery, covert aid to the Revolutionary movement and the Patriots, and actively fighting in battles are some of the aspects of these  lives that we will analyze and discuss.  


Discussion and interaction are required elements of this class and students are STRONGLY urged to use their cameras and microphones in order to receive the full benefits of this class. 

**********PLEASE READ*************
Outschool has recently changed its policy regarding class cancellations. We know how disappointing canceled classes can be for learners, so we too are amending our policy.  In the past we have waited for late enrollees, of which we have had MANY!  Unfortunately we can no longer do that. 

Instead we will evaluate class enrollment for ongoing classes on teach Sunday at 5pm Eastern.  IF enrollment falls below 3 students, we will push the class back a week.  When other sections are available students will have the option to transfer to another class. IF enrollment falls below 3 students, we will push the class back a week.  When other sections are available students will have the option to transfer to another class. Full refunds will be provided for learners who cannot attend the newly scheduled class time. All other refunds will be provided as per the Outschool Limited Refund policy (see below).  If for any reason the class does not meet your expectation, you have the confidence of knowing that Outschool has a Happiness Guarantee and will provide a refund upon request via their Customer Support. 

Transfer requests within 24 hours of a scheduled class will NOT be approved.  At that point it is too late to reschedule the class, and it is unfair to other families who may have enrolled thinking there were multiple learners enrolled. Instead students will be encouraged to watch the video of the class.
 
Thank you for understanding, and for your loyalty.
