AMERICAN CULTURAL STUDIES

Course Length: Yearlong

Credit: 1.0 English + 1.0 Social Studies

Grades: 9

Prerequisite(s): None

Course Description: This course fosters an interdisciplinary approach to studying United States history, social life, literature, politics, arts, and popular culture in local, national, and global contexts. Our curriculum is directly aligned with fostering students’ critical, ethical, and global thinking. At the core, our courses explore the question, “What does it mean to live in America?” We will focus on the three enduring outcomes of English: reading with intent, writing with purpose, and speaking with clarity. We will also focus on the three enduring outcomes of Social Studies: thinking critically, engaging civically, and communicating clearly.
