Approach

Our unique history and social science program builds research and analytical skills, critical thinking, and appreciation for global issues, events, and societies.  As part of our distinctive curriculum, students learn to read and interpret primary sources, formulate evidence-based arguments, examine historical themes and analyze historical causation.

Our coursework and graduation requirements support students selecting their own path, with a wide variety of courses offered.  Our ancient civilization and modern history courses explore historical events, geography and cultures from a variety of angles such as technological developments, agriculture, economics, militaries, entertainment, and arts.  Courses in global affairs and issues aim to create informed students that appreciate the complexities and interactions surrounding current problems in modern societies and our world.

The Ideaventions Academy history and social sciences program is designed to produce informed thinkers that view the world with a solid foundation of knowledge of historical events, but more importantly with the research, analysis, and critical thinking skills to serve them in life.
