Join us in dancing our way through the decades from 1910 to the present era as we explore U.S. history and humanities in a fun and engaging manner! 

Dabbling in classic literature, primary source documents, the U.S. Constitution, music, art and foods of the eras,  students will engage in hands-on, fun and inspiring educational activities. 

The object of Heroes of Liberty is to empower students to become heroes of liberty in both their private and public lives.  In a "Trivial Pursuit" kind of way, students will have fun completing activities each Era Unit in the areas of:

• Literature

• History

• Science

• Sports + Entertainment

• Art + Fashion + Food

• World Geography

Educational modalities used during class will include: book discussions, document studies, guest speakers, cooking, student presentations, Minecraft, service projects, art and science projects, physical fitness challenges and more!  

Students will complete a final project which will culminate in a Nobel Prize in their chosen area of discipline. 

​

Students may also go “over and beyond” by completing additional tasks which could earn them a Grammy Award!  (This portion of the class will be based on the lyrics from Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire".)
