American & Modern Studies Grades 1
In American & Modern Studies students focus on history since the Renaissance, geography, literature, and world cultures. Each program builds every year on the work of previous years, promoting mastery. Students study and draw maps, and by the end of their study are able to label political and physical maps of both hemispheres from memory. Students also read a variety of books from our American Studies Supplemental Sets to supplement their knowledge of the U.S. and the world. All of this work prepares students for comprehensive studies of American and European history in high school.
