Pierce Alan –
This curriculum is phenomenal! I was a student of the co-creators last year and let me tell you, it was the best class I have ever taken. The material, the organization, and the format were absolutely incredible, both semesters. I would recommend this to ANYONE, especially those wanting to teach history in an intriguing way.

I took this class my freshman year, and I took a normal US history class the following year. This class was so much better, it was crazy how
the value and morals along with the history. I recommend this class to everyone!
