U.S. History: Reframing the Nation (pre-recorded & Virtual)
Format: Online (Pre-recorded Lectures) Schedule: 15-week semester Lectures: 2 per week (30 minutes each) Grade Level: High School Type: U.S. History Tuition: $200 per semester Course Introduction This course uncovers the real story of the United States by centering voices history often leaves out. We'll explore the lives of Indigenous peoples, enslaved Africans, Asian immigrants, and others who shaped the nation from the margins. Our focus is not memorization but reflection. We'll ask deeper questions about power, systems, and truth while learning to engage both dominant and marginalized sources. This is a space for wrestling with what’s real, honoring what’s been silenced, and growing in wisdom. Rooted in dignity and care, this class invites students to become people who carry the weight of truth with tenderness, clarity, and strength. Learning Outcomes By the end of the course, students will: Understand the value of original sources Center vulnerable voices in historical accounts Develop a grounded, honest grasp of U.S. history Semester Breakdown Semester One covers pre-colonial civilizations, European colonization, the slave trade, founding of the colonies, the Revolution, Constitution, and early government (to ~1800). Semester Two begins with westward expansion and Indian Removal, then explores slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, immigration, civil rights, and modern justice movements. |
