Studying history is not just rehashing the past.

By learning how the past shapes our world, we learn how better to engage our present.

Students will be challenged to involve their logic and imagination, to distinguish cause and effect, to clarify motivation and action, and to discern ideas and events in history.

Classical Verses Conventional Track

WriteAtHome offers two tracks for the study of high school literature and history: classical and conventional. Either program offers a robust and engaging learning experience.

Classical track history surveys the events, ideas, and culture of the corresponding eras.

The conventional track covers the same history, but the courses are organized according to the conventions of typical high school history courses.
