#98003 American History - Online Course
Suggested Grade Level:
11th - 12th
Academic Credit:
1.0
Additional Course Charge:
$550
Description:
THIS COURSE IS CLOSED — NEW COURSES WILL BE OFFERED IN JANUARY 2026
THIS IS A TWO SEMESTER ONLINE COURSE. Due to the nature of the online courses, availability is limited and provided on a first come, first serve basis. (You will be contacted if this course is no longer available.)
Description:
Beginning with the Puritan migration and early colonial experiments, this course will explore the key events of American history through multiple lenses: the ideas that shaped the events, the immediate circumstances surrounding them, and the lasting consequences that still exist today. We will examine the philosophical traditions from which the early colonists and Founders drew in forming communal life, as well as the laws and legal battles that have shaped people, places, and institutions over the past 250 years.
Using this knowledge, the course will conclude with a look at the decisions of today’s policy makers: can their policies be viewed through a biblically grounded, prudential, constitutional lens, or can we at best only nod along with political pragmatism (whether from the Right or the Left)? Does the trend of American politics lead us toward a unified Union, or toward a collection of independent republics, or states?
