Course DescriptionsWorld Studies: This course will examine western civilization starting with the Hellenistic Period and concluding with the Russian Revolution. Also included is the Middle East and Africa, both regions which played a large role and have been heavily impacted by the course of events in the west. World Geography: This course works on developing the awareness of the students to the world around them. It's expected that not only will they grow a greater appreciation and acceptance of the world's cultures, but that they will also acquire a deeper understanding of their own culture. This semester we will be focusing exclusively on the Asian Pacific Rim Countries. Information for Grade AccessThe grades are online, and will be updated weekly.
