Middle school history courses include a survey of early history in the Americas, including ancient and indigenous communities, continuing on to European contact, Colonization, and Independence movements. Middle school courses conclude with an analysis and grounding in the U.S. government and framing documents, and a survey of the years from the Civil War to the present.
