The History curriculum reinforces the development of academic skills through the analysis of the cultures and heritages that make up both the Miller School of Albemarle community and the world in general. The progressive development of note-taking from lecture and printed materials, analytic thinking and writing, and research skills is achieved through a core curriculum of four classes: Ancient and Medieval History, Modern European History, United States History, and American Government. While the curriculum emphasizes "western" history, the strong foundation in such knowledge enables students a basis from which to compare other cultures and heritages. Students from non-western countries make presentations related to their own cultures and heritages during the school year.
