Thematic Curriculum - Understanding the past to understand the present

The goal of our curriculum is to teach the content of world history through the lense of timeless and widespread themes that are relevant to all eras and places in our world's history. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." (George Santayana, American philosopher) With this in mind, our curriculum seeks to explain the past so that students will have a more comprehensive understanding of their world today.
