History School is back for another fun summer of learning in Summer 2022!

We are offering five virtual courses with opportunities for students in upper elementary, middle, and high school. High school students are welcome to enroll in our AP US History, AP Government and Politics, and World Wars courses. We are also offering a Living History course for middle school students exploring the history of food, music, dance, art, and more. During History Camp upper elementary school students will travel to different national parks across the country and talk to rangers about the history of their sites. These free courses will provide students with the opportunity to expand their knowledge of American history through innovative lessons and activities.
