Course Description<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

The course is designed as an introduction to American Government, Economics, and Civics, providing foundational knowledge for more advanced study in subsequent years. It emphasizes character formation alongside academic content, encouraging students to think about their own role as citizens and contributors to society. The approach combines classical texts, such as Plutarch’s Lives of Cicero, Alexander the Great, and Julius Caesar, with modern educational materials to give students both historical perspective and contemporary understanding of government and economics.<\/p>\n
