High School World History

Instructors: Rebekah Mackie & Claire Scotti
After teaching Hands-on History to homeschoolers for the past six years, Claire and Rebekah are thrilled to bring this course to the high school level and reconnect with many of their former students.
Rather than relying on lectures and dry textbooks, this World History course will emphasize Socratic discussions, multimedia projects, and student-led presentations. Spanning from the creation of the world to modern times, students will explore major historical themes and wrestle with thought-provoking questions, such as:
The Jewish Legacy: How does the history of Jews in ancient society apply to their identity as God’s chosen people today?
The Reformation: Did the Protestant Reformation bring much-needed restoration, or did it cause unnecessary division and suffering? Or both?
Accountability in WWII: Which groups suffered most during World War II, who was responsible, and how should justice have been served?
Students will often conduct their own research at home and bring their findings to class for discussion. The goal is to foster lively, engaging conversations that encourage empathy, sharpen critical thinking, and help students develop a coherent, well-reasoned perspective.
