  • “It's the only course tailored to expats that offers a real connection to the teacher, and real feedback, as if it were another class at school.”

    -Parent of a US History I student

  • This course fills a gap in education our kids receive at a local school overseas. Without this, they wouldn’t know basic American history. It’s not just the substantive content, though, it’s the thoughtful, analytical approach to learning and critical thinking that is missing in our overseas/local Portuguese school. This course will facilitate our transition back to schools in the U.S. next summer.

    -Meg Campbell, parent of two U.S. History I students

  • “I no longer find history boring, I enjoy the projects, the material is clearly presented and I like the individual feedback I get on the assignments I turn in.

    -U.S. History II student

  • It helped my daughter both learn the historical content as well as strengthened her academic skills (research, analysis, citation.)

    -U.S. History I parent

  • Thank you so much for a really great course. In addition to learning key U.S. history facts, our child really grew as an independent learner throughout this course. She was challenged to think critically and express what she learned in a variety of final projects that pushed her to try harder. We're really glad we signed up for it, thank you again!
