LOWER SCHOOL HISTORY

LOWER SCHOOL HISTORY

Our history courses are global in their orientation, rather than focused on any single nation or segment of history. History courses cover, in sequence and as they occurred, major incidents found in all corners of the globe and throughout human experience. These include scientific discoveries; political movements; philosophical and religious ideas and movements; social changes; artistic schools and movements, including the works and lives of great artists; the history of economics; the tales of empires and of nationalism, wars and peace; and the development of literature. These elements and more are all presented as an integrated whole, rather than as separate subjects. We experience them as an integrated whole which we call "life". They should be taught as such, and not as separate and unrelated subjects. Each course is filled with exercises and field trips to be done by the student, to help him fully understand and evaluate for himself the vast history of our world.
