World History

     WORLD HISTORY A WORLD HISTORY B CALENDAR SEMINARS REFERENCES       

          World History at Kerr High School is a general survey course that covers three thousand years of history in only 18 weeks. Needless to say, we barely skim the surface of many points in world history. Historical events which shaped the world in which we now live, such as the continuing trend toward democracy, are our primary focus. In addition, we spend some time exploring the cultures of the major time periods we study.
