History
History classes don’t revolve around lectures and reading at The Curiosity Crew. We bring the subject to life with project-baed learning along with simulations, games, cooking and thoughtful conversations. Each cohort shares a topic and guided question but activities and content are differentiate by age. This leads to wonderful connections made later in the day when kids share what they learned!
