Social Science

The social sciences are taught through APEX, an online curriculum.  We offer United States History, World History, US Government and Economics to meet the social science coursework required for graduation. Other social science classes are available for elective coursework upon request. ​

Grading

APEX curriculum is designed for independent study. It has been divided into individual credits. Students complete a written packet consisting of readings, activities, labs, and writing assignments. Quizzes and tests are completed online in APEX. Students must pass all tests and quizzes at 70% or higher to advance to the next section of work.  Written packets must be fully completed with a score of 70% or higher on the quality of work to receive credit for the course. This coursework is available online and students are encouraged to continue working at home in addition to the classroom.

Grades are determined as follows:
​50% - Written Packets, Labs & Projects

50% - Tests & Quizzes
