Upper School 历史

Being rooted in the tradition of liberal arts 教育, 全球十大赌博靠谱平台认为，对学生来说，重要的不仅仅是学习各种学科, but to be able to see the interconnectedness of the disciplines. 这使学生能够综合各种思路，更好地理解一个主题，并找到更有意义的解决方案.

To facilitate this way of thinking, Upper School students take 人文学科9 during their freshman year. This course (2½ credits) integrates 英语, 历史, and 圣经研究 and explores themes of Western Civilization from literary, 历史, and biblical perspectives.

人文学科9 addresses the question, “What does it mean to be human?” Students explore this question by studying literature, 戏剧, 历史文献, 主要来源, and the biblical narrative. They learn about the origins of early Western culture by reading Homer’s 《全球十大赌博靠谱平台》 and simultaneously examining the lives of Abraham, Jacob, and Moses. 他们比较并对比了罗马和平与马太福音和早期教会的历史. 最后, 他们追求基督教对罗马和日耳曼文化的转变作用, from which emerge a revolutionary idea of what it means to be human.

人文10 是一门跨学科课程，旨在探讨两个问题:谁是我们的全球邻居? And what are their stories?  It builds on 人文学科9, 学生们研究了两个更基本的问题:作为人类意味着什么? And how do we make sense of forces like good and evil? Since the strongest drivers of change in world history are money and religion, this course begins (unit 1) with a two-part “Introduction”: we study the basics of economic theory as a lens through which historians interpret the past; and we explore themes in the Gospel of Luke as a platform from which Christians appreciate their neighbors and interact appropriately.  The Bible is most relevant when studied in living context both ancient and modern, 从时间的创造者的角度来研究，历史的意义就变得更加鲜明. 课程的大部分(单元2-6)平均分为对世界五个地区的调查:中东, 印度, 非洲, 拉丁美洲, 及东亚.  We analyze the impact of the past on particular problematic issues today.  同时, we study some of life’s most difficult questions (about nationalism, 奴隶制, 边缘化, poverty and war) in light of the person and work of Jesus of Nazareth. 到年底，学生们在三个方面都有所提高:知识、批判性思维和写作. 他们对圣经价值观与世界问题的相关性有了更丰富的理解, 历史上基督徒在与邻居交往时所做的贡献和所犯的错误, 以及将王国原则融入当代全球环境的挑战和好处.

美联社欧洲历史 学生分析和评估现代社会的独特性质，因为它出现在中世纪基督教欧洲. By studying the experiences, 参数, 以及从文艺复兴到全球化的当代世界中那些戏剧性事件的参与者的反应, 学生们面临的挑战是发展自己的观点，并更好地为自己探索历史认同的问题. Students will be well prepared to take the College Board AP examination in May, but they may also take the course for non-AP history credit.

United States 历史: Evidence and Records runs like a college seminar. It focuses on three key themes including faith, 自由, 和帝国, and moves from the experiment of Colonial America to the complex global present. Students focus on “doing history” while writing eight research papers. 他们广泛阅读原始关键文件，并在小组讨论的背景下加强他们的分析. Drawing on this collective work, 然后，他们撰写以证据为基础的文章，解决与每个时期相关的一个主要问题.
