Welcome to the start of a new school year!
This year, students will be studying world history up until approximately 1400. Our objectives have been divided into seven units and each unit focuses on several ancient civilizations in one particular region. In these different civilizations we will study the different people who made the civilization famous and the culture of those who surrounded them and tie it into who we are or who we shouldn’t be as 21st century learners.
