The Projects

Students will look at their own genealogy by developing a family tree, research inventions during our course timeline, affects on society at the time, and demonstrate their ability to produce acceptable notes.

As we move closer to the war, the students will explore the background of the main participants to gain a better understanding of who these people were. They will focus on their experiences prior to and after the war.

Management reserves the right to change or add projects during the year. (Sometimes the students come up with great ideas).
