Our Courses:
Our courses challenge students of all abilities to learn more about the history of the world, its cultures, governments and peoples, as well as the government and history of Virginia and the United States. Advanced Placement courses are offered in World History, US History, Government, Economics, Human Geography and Psychology.  Our electives enrich students in the areas of economics, comparative religions, modern international relations, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and African studies. Electives are offered based on student interest and on a rotating basis.
