U.S. Government and Politics helps students study the history, organization, and functions of the U.S. government.

Beginning with the Declaration of Independence and continuing through the present day, students explore the relationship between individual Americans and their governing bodies. They take a closer look at the political culture of our country and gain insight into the challenges faced by citizens, elected officials, political activists, and others.

Students also learn about the roles of political parties, interest groups, the media, and the Supreme Court. By analyzing both current and historical issues from multiple points of view, students practice and deepen their critical thinking skills.

Ready your student for life outside the classroom. When learners gain the skills to get to the next level, opportunities come calling.
