This is a unique approach to history class, where we delve deeper into the subject beyond the typical high-level historical facts. The aim of this approach is to make history more engaging and fun, while still ensuring that the students learn valuable lessons.

We will be exploring history from various times and places around the world. This includes a wide range of topics, from dinosaurs to the bubonic plague, moon landings, and even some unusual old medical practices. This diverse range of topics is designed to keep the students interested and engaged in the subject matter.

The ultimate goal of this class is to foster a love for learning and to show students that history doesn't have to be stiff and boring. It is my hope that your child will leave the class with a newfound interest in history and an understanding of the valuable lessons that can be learned from studying the past.

This class does not deep dive into any one particular culture or group. We stay on high-level topics and facts. During my time in college, I took several history classes that I've pulled from to create this unique curriculum. I've also taken many liberal arts classes on perspective and social psychology which allow me to teach history in a non-biased and multidisciplinary way incorporating a multitude of perspectives. We will be looking at history through different historical lenses: social, political, and economic and how that applies to the thematic categories: emotional intelligence, self-care, career connections, and ethics.
