Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
This course is intended for those that want to understand US or American Civics and History. This class will cover much more than what they would receive in a standard semester course if you stick with us. We will meet twice a week and go over different parts of civics each week. 
*Each week will stand on its own and your learner can drop in and out as needed*. 
The format of each week will follow a similar format. The first meeting will be packet / worksheet and information heavy and the second meeting of the week will be review and will include a game or activity to check comprehension. For some weeks we may cover 2 topics in the same week if information, questions, etc are going quickly. 
*Schedule may change due to how quickly/slowly a class is going and topics will be updated for the coming months to reflect that.
