From England to America
 
Before there was America, there was England. And before England, Angleland. And before that, Lloegr. And before that, the empty void where the world would be created (okay, that’s too far back).
 
In Anglo-Saxon America history, we often forget that before 1630 AD, everything that happened in England is part of our story as well. Countless wars. Kings, Queens, tribes. Invasions.
 
Outcomes:
For this class, we will travel back to when the Welsh were the rulers of what is now called Great Britain. We’ll explore the great leaders of the first centuries AD on the main land; the invasion of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes; how the Romans conquered nearly the whole of England; the invasion of the French; and all the art, culture, food, and wonderful stories that came out of this great time.
 
This isn’t just English history, this is American history, too!
 
Materials:
All students will need is a notebook and something with which to write.
 
We also recommend enrolling in Simulations: History in Action, an immersive companion course that allows students to experience history firsthand through large-scale simulations, role-playing, debates, strategy games, diplomacy, and interactive historical challenges. Students step into the roles of leaders, citizens, explorers, inventors, and revolutionaries as they navigate the major events and civilizations that shaped the world.

All classes are full-year classes. Students enrolled in a Fall Semester class will automatically enroll for the Spring Semester in December to ensure their place in the class. Pricing is per semester.
