Exchanges & Encounters

Class VIII History Course

In our Class 8 history course, students explore medieval cultures around the world, focusing on the ways they influence and interact with on another. We begin in the fall in the Mediterranean world and the rise of Islam. In the winter we move to East Asia and the Silk Road. Spring concludes with the Americas and European contact. Students develop their historical analysis and communication skills.
