HISTORY The Upper School department offers seven different courses for students in grades 7-12. The objectives of the various courses differ but there are several goals which are common to all courses: 1) the development of social science skills, 2) the fostering of an awareness of what’s going on in the world today and how it is related to the history of earlier periods, and 3) the development of the students’ ability to see cause and effect relationships and to understand the role of such relationships in history. World History is a two year course for seventh and eighth graders taught by Mr. Dolen, Mr. Tierney, and Mr. Kingsbury. The first year consists of Ancient History, from man’s beginning to the fall of Rome. The second year studies Medieval and Early Modern History through the Enlightenment. History 9, “Sociology, Anthropology, and Psychology”, taught by Mr. Kingsbury, is an elective open for students in grades 9-12. This new course spends roughly an equal amount of time on each of these three disciplines all of which are new and exciting fields of study for most of our students. United States History is a required survey course, taught by Mr. Tierney, covering the whole span of our nation’s history. Like most of the other history courses, it is non-graded and has some students from each grade 9-12. Modem European History, an elective taught by Mr. Dolen, basically attempts to give students an understanding of major historical developments of Europe in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Political Science Economics is a different but valuable course, because it gives the student the ability to better understand the workings of political and economic systems, particularly our own. Advanced Placement Western Civilization is in its first year at Breck and is somewhat unique, taught primarily by television, through KTCA-TV and Hamline University. Each week the students watch three half-hour television lectures by Fred Marsh of Hamline.
