PRICING
General Description:
This course will include an overview of modern government structure and an examination of economic principles. In the fall semester, students will begin with an investigation of the Constitution and move into an in-depth study of the branches of government. In the spring semester, students will consider the impact of basic economic standards and apply them to everyday situations. Class activities will be hands-on and interactive, using real world examples and projects to encourage critical thinking and creative learning. Extensive resources, assessments, videos, and lesson supports are provided online.
Students Who Should Take This Course:
All high school students are required to take US History and two additional Social Studies credits in order to graduate. Most homeschool umbrella schools recommend students take Government and Economics as part of those three Social Studies credits. But aside from that, these courses are such interesting and relevant subjects! Every American citizen should have a working knowledge of our heritage of representative democracy and free market economy. This course is the equivalent of 1 credit towards the 2 Social Studies credits required for high school graduation.
Fee: The fee covers all materials used in classroom activities, assessments, and all grading.
Government & Economics (9-12)
Total Cost: $425
*** Cost for only one semester of Government or Economics is $240***
