Day & Time: Mondays, 2:00pm-3:30pm
Grades: 10-12
Teacher: Jill Trapp
Cost: $190 ($175/semester + $15 material fee)
.5 HS Credit: Fall Semester (American Government credit)
Students explore the structure and function of the United States government through a constitutional lens. Using Crash Course U.S. Government videos as a foundation at home, students come to class ready to apply what they’ve learned through discussion and project-based activities.
This class is interactive and participation-driven, with a focus on understanding the Constitution, its articles, the Bill of Rights, and the amendment process. Additional topics include elections, immigration, and the role of government institutions.
Each week, students engage in projects that connect concepts to real-world applications. Projects may include researching local and state elections, exploring government agencies, examining amendment history, and responding to questions related to civic life.
Students build confidence in discussing ideas, evaluating information, and understanding their role as informed citizens.
Parents stay connected through clear expectations and project updates.
This course is designed to meet the expectations of a high school ½ credit and serves as a strong foundation for U.S. Economics offered in the Spring.
