Here’s what we offer:

Elementary School

We are excited to announce we are adding a new program for elementary school students. This 28-32 week program focuses on FUN and SKILLS while guiding students through U.S. History, patriotism , and being a responsible citizen.

New for 2024-2025: LIVE Biweekly Activities

Using the content of Studies Weekly and the Virginia Standards of Learning, we are offering 15 LIVE opportunities for students to get together to complete activities and extensions.

Middle School

Four Middle School U.S. History courses that are modeled on the Virginia Standards of Learning.

  • U.S. History I (Grade 6 in VA)

  • U.S. History II (Grade 7 in VA)

  • Civics and Economics (Grade 8 in VA)

Each of these classes has the following features:

  • VA licensed teacher

  • Uses Google Classroom and Google Suite of products (i.e.-Google doc, presentation)

  • Rolling enrollment throughout the year

  • 9 self-paced units

  • Grading using rubrics and teacher feedback throughout each unit.

  • Emphasis on skills we have identified as lacking in most overseas’ schools such as research and expository writing.

  • Designed with the idea that students in other grade levels can still take each of the courses. For example, an 8th grade student can take U.S. History I and U.S. History II with grade-level rubrics.

High School

High school course designed for students wanting to know and understand the U.S.

  • U.S. History Semester A

  • U.S. History Semester B

  • U.S. Government

  • U.S. Civics

Each of the classes has the following features:

  • Using Edmentum curriculum, theses courses confer 0.5 credits for each semester long course.

  • Designed for students interested in learning U.S. history but have not had chance to take a class and/or live in the U.S.

  • Fits into active high school schedules

  • VA licensed teacher

  • Rolling enrollment

  • Great if your child has never lived in the States or needs U.S. history for college.

 

Information about the Supplementary Instruction Allowance

Information about reimbursement through the Supplementary Instruction Allowance can be found in D.S.S.R. 274.12 and 276.9. In order to qualify, the FMO must approve the reimbursement. According the to D.S.S.R. Section 270, the authorizing office (FMO) may reimburse up to $4100 per student per year if the child’s “school at post” does not provide academic instruction in subjects generally offer at an American public school and the child is attending school within daily driving distance to the employee’s post of assignment. There are some other caveats for less similar situations. The reimbursement is not automatic nor the discretion of the CLO or individual families. We would be more than happy to communicate with your post’s FMO.
