Defeat Boring Curriculums With Pallas
At Pallas, we understand how what most history curriculums look like:
- Their greatest passion is in avoiding hard history, preferring instead to sugarcoat and foster mindless patriotism
- Facts are presented outside of a story, making them hard to remember and apply to our current world
- Citations are not to be found, so that further independent study and media literacy (i.e. fact-checking) is not fostered
There ought to be a better way — a way that challenges our students to be the best they can be, and gives them the knowledge, critical reasoning, compassion, and confidence they’ll need to be responsible citizens who bring about the change they desire in our world.
The Pallas Solution: Classical Education Done Right
Our unit studies all follow a simple structure designed to prepare your teenager to be well-informed and prepared to be an effective citizen. Here’s how our unit studies work:
- 8-12 digestible readings, thoughtfully crafted in a narrative style so as to make the material more engaging and better. Audio versions are included for those with reading disabilities.
- Citations are provided inline to help students nurture their curiosity, and further instill in them the importance of fact-checking in today’s media-saturated world.
- As the unit studies are information-packed, a glossary is also included to help students easily expand their non-fiction vocabulary and improve their comprehension on their own.
- After learning the key foundational facts on a given issue, students are then provided with an opportunity to reinforce what they’ve learned through a quiz.
- After the quiz, they are also given discussion topics to discuss with their family and friends, and in discussion forums here at pallascenter.com.
Inspire Your Teen to Change the World Today
Putting your teen on the path to changing the world takes just three simple steps:
Try Starting Points For Free. Our unit studies follow the same format of 8-12 lessons. Your student can enjoy the first lesson, the Starting Point, for all of our unit studies by registering for free. Starting Points let your teen take the first step in a variety of extremely important subjects, so each student can see which ones resonate with them and kindle their own love of learning.
Find Your Passion. After trying Starting Points, students can select the unit study they are most passionate about and want to go deeper on, and can purchase the full unit study. Or, they can take the plunge and enroll in our full semester offering in post-World War II US history.
Make the Habit. Students are encouraged to at spend at least 15 minutes a day focused on this material. With this goal, they should be able to complete all the readings, the quiz, and discussion activities in 1-2 weeks. Equipped with this knowledge and with some practice in discussing it, they are ready to speak intelligently and persuasively about the topic — and bring about the change they desire in doing so.
