Description

This course runs from August 19, 2024 – May 6, 2025.

This one year course will cover one semester of American Government and one semester of basic Economics.  Students will be supplied with the Economics course materials, including text and workbook, as part of their purchase.  Students are required to purchase The Good & the Beautiful’s US Constitution and Government set.

Classes will include teacher-led discussions and an overview of the coming week’s lessons.  Students will also have the opportunity to bounce ideas off each other, discuss the class material, and ask questions.  Additional activities may be suggested to help reinforce the learning, but are not required.

Course lessons are pre-recorded, with most interaction occurring through a private discussion feed.  Students will be able to digitally show off projects as well.  Periodically throughout the year, there will be LIVE classes, where the entire class will meet for a live discussion and interaction.  These are scheduled into the syllabus so your student has plenty of time to plan.  If s/he is unable to attend, they will be recorded for playback.

Sparks Academy does provide an official grade for students.  This covers feedback on essays and quizzes, as well as class participation.  You may enroll up to two kids from the same household in same class at same time.  The second student is deeply discounted through the Second Student option.
