​I have really enjoyed taking this class, I feel as though I have learned a lot about the way our country works. I really appreciated that instead of just stuffing our heads with facts, we were encouraged to think critically and form our own opinions about different topics. The small class size was really helpful because it made it easy to voice my thoughts and to hear other opinions. I feel that Mr. De Gree really believes in what he is teaching and he really cares about giving us the tools to be effective members of our society. I believe that after taking this class, I am much more knowledgeable and equipped to be an active participant in our government. ​                                                                  Hannah - Student

I absolutely LOVE the critical thinking aspects of the (Take a Stand!) curriculum.  Too few curricular address the idea of critical thinking skills.  There is much written for the children to memorize and recount at the appropriate times, but are they understanding what they are reading?  Implementing critical thinking into the reading and discussion of history is a powerful tool to help our children understand what they are reading as  well as form an opinion and knowledge that they will be able to use in many situations in life.   I also love the discussion and multi-age aspects of the curriculum.  Being able to have discussions around the dinner table with family are some of the most important times you will have will your children.  These are very good learning opportunities that are disappearing from too many families today.  The children are able to read the material and discuss it at their level; they will understand the material better with discussion and help teach each other at the same time.  This would also work wonderfully in a homeschool co-op setting!   I have been looking at a number of different social studies programs for the middle and older grades and am very excited to come across Take a Stand!  I am anxious to use it in my homeschool as well as recommend it to others.                    Amy B., Maine - Parent

The Classical Historian teaches students to think independently, make decisions, read, write, and speak effectively, AND learn history.  The Classical Historian uses a Four-Step Method:

1. Students Learn the Tools of the Historian.
2. Students are Challenged with Open-Ended Questions.
3. Students Research in a Variety of Secondary and Primary Sources.
4. Students Engage in a Socratic Discussion.
