Join Acellus in exploring Ethnic Studies, its newest offering in high school social studies! In this course, instructor Todd Edmond explores the diverse cultures and peoples that make up the unique society of the United States — a nation shaped by waves of immigration and the blending of traditions from around the world. Students will examine the concept of ethnicity, the evolution of American culture, and how immigration patterns have influenced our nation’s history.
Through a deep dive into the unique histories and contributions of various communities, students will develop an appreciation for the differences that define us and the unity that brings us together as one nation. By understanding our culture and its roots, students will gain a deeper awareness of their identity, their community, and their role in celebrating and preserving the rich tapestry of American life.
