History
	Assuming the role of historians by using primary sources such as speeches, policy statements, diaries and letters, students explore historical events from the perspective of those who were living at the time. Animated class discussions and written papers challenge girls to formulate and support their own opinions. Past student projects have included world history papers and multimedia presentations on Asia, Africa and Latin America; oral reports on cultural topics such as Cuban music and Japanese artists; and a re-enactment of the peace conference after Napoleon's defeat. Innovative senior electives in recent years have included Middle Eastern History, Ancient History, International Politics, Japanese History, and Economics.   Click here for course descriptions
