What are Our IB History Classes?
History is a rigorous discipline that demands much more than the memorization of dates and facts typical of standard classes. This course challenges you to interpret the past from multiple perspectives and contexts, delving into historical methods and historiography.
This course focuses on historical methods and historiography, covering topics such as global warfare, authoritarianism, and the Cold War. Students must critically analyze sources and construct coherent arguments, focusing on causality, consequence, and continuity. The IB framework requires mastery of specific regional histories and assessment skills, including the OPCVL method of source analysis, enabling students to meet complex academic expectations.

Our History programs are designed to transform how you process information. We don’t just review content and memorize who did who; we teach you how to think like a historian, searching for explanations and contextual clues.
