8th Grade U.S. History Before 1900 students study major historical events and people from colonization through the Reconstruction period. This includes a study of Colonial America, the Revolutionary War, the drafting of the Constitution, the growth of the United States, the Civil War, and Reconstruction.

Throughout the course, students practice critical analysis skills as they read primary sources and study historical accounts from a variety of perspectives. They expand their knowledge of the world around them by studying how geography has influenced American history.

By analyzing related current events, students see how the events of yesterday affect the world around them today. Students also reflect on changes and continuities within and between time periods. Students demonstrate their knowledge through a mixture of projects, discussions, tests, and independent work.

Learning looks different at every age. Be there every step of the way, from the formative middle school years to the fulfilling high school years and everything the future holds beyond.
