Full-Year Recorded Classes
Asia, Africa, and the World We Live In
Students will learn about the histories of the increasingly important cultures of Asia and Africa in this year’s course.

Recorded classes will be released a day or two after the live class along with all class notes, handouts, and test materials.
$60/month (per family – all levels)
America and the World We Live In
Students will learn how America came to be the most important and influential country in the world today. Themes include the evolution of the American social contract from the founding era to the present day, the rise of modern technology and its social impacts, and America’s relationships with its neighbors and the wider world.
$60/month (per family – all levels)
Europe, Russia, and the World We Live In
Europe and Russia are among the world’s most important cultures. Tragically, their histories are filled with wars to this day. This course explores how these cultures emerged separately after the fall of the ancient world, and gradually converged only to be mutually alienated by the conflicts that have arisen between them.

Single Unit Courses
History of Technology and Society
This six-week course segment, taken from “America and the World We Live In,” shows students how technology has impacted human life. It divides the history of technology into four chapters: pre-industrial, proto-industrial (the Age of Steam), industrial, and advanced industrial.
The course shows students how technology has affected human life-expectancy in such an incredible way, and why, despite the advances involved, people have responded with various anti-industrial social movements from Luddism & transcendentalism, to conservationism, preservationism, and modern environmentalism.
- $80 one-time payment
- Includes all levels (Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary, Jr/Sr High)
- 17 video lessons plus handouts, review, and end-of-unit test
- Purchase includes a discount for upgrading to any full-year recorded class (see options above).
