At the recent Thanksgiving Assembly – and to packed-house of parents, students, teachers and friends – the senior class performed their version of different African dances as part of their History of Africa main lesson course.

The History of Africa 12th grade main lesson course presents students with a broad, general survey of African History in the hope that students can see more clearly the role of Africa in the world today. Emphasis is placed on the different cultures that arose on the continent, from ancient times, through the colonial period and up to the present – giving students a greater appreciation of the contributions and struggles of the African people. While lectures and reading packets serve as the basis of student learning, students also complete an artistic project inspired by current events in Africa.
