Description: This course is designed to introduce students to a thematic approach to the study of world history. Unlike
many world history survey level courses, the depth and scope of the course is both thematic and chronological. This
thematic approach is designed to help students understand and analyze the interconnectedness of historical events,
people, places and ideas. To this end, we will employ extensive use of primary and secondary source materials,
implement numerous objective and written assessments, and complete some project-based and authentic/simulated
learning experiences. Each of the major themes covered in the course will include regional analysis, significant
contributors and the impact on regions and the world as a whole. Major themes included in the course will be: Principles
of Geography and Culture, Principles of World Religions, Political Systems and Structure, Global Conflict, Modernization
and its’ Impact, and Global Economies and Resources. This course integrates the study of history, government, geography
and economics. The World History course will also require a Project-Based Culminating Assessment.

Description: This is a college-level survey course in Modern European History that begins with the study of the
Renaissance and Reformation and traces the development of European institutions and processes in science, politics,
economics, and social patterns into the present day. Students in this class must have a strong work ethic and the ability
to study at an accelerated pace. There is an expectation that students will have to work independently in order to cover
all of the information necessary for the course. There is a large emphasis on analyzing primary source documents and
acquiring knowledge from the textbook in order to apply it to various trends and themes. Students will write frequently
in the course in an effort to show analysis and application as opposed to identification. The course is implemented with
a 3-pronged approach: standardized content, historical analysis skills, and preparation for the AP examination.
