SOCIAL STUDIES U.S. HISTORY SH5060 | $1,113 | 06/07-07/16 (6 weeks) | 8:00am-12:00pm | Entering grade 10 Required in grade 10 U.S. History is a year-long (6 weeks in summer) required course examining the history of the United States from Columbus to the present. The course explores important historical topics and their relevance today through a thematic approach. Students will investigate U.S. History themes such as American Beginnings, Slavery and Civil Rights, Immigration, and War. Students will strengthen and build upon the important inquiry skills to ask strong questions, understanding historical concepts and content, and source evaluation, all of which allows students to create their own informed conclusions that inspire them to take action to solve local and global problems. Additional skills that are emphasized include self-assessment, reflection, and collaboration, all of which help students take ownership of their own learning. A strong emphasis on these 21st century skills prepares students for the rigors of the International Baccalaureate program. Mid-Pacific students who successfully complete U.S. History during the summer may not be permitted to accelerate through the social studies graduation requirements. However, a student who elects to enroll may not be required to take social studies during the Fall and Spring semesters. 1 credit; iPad required TECHNOLOGY DESIGN & FABRICATION SH4910 | $667 | 06/07-07/16 (6 weeks) | 10:10am-12:00pm | Entering grades 9-12 Students will be highly engaged in hands-on modeling, construction, and building.

This course utilizes CAD, Design Thinking, basic fabrication techniques, electronics, and programming.
