Jack & Lori Rheiner –
This is an awesome class taught by an amazing teacher! Our son learned so very much and explored via virtual tours of museums, famous landmarks, and historical sites. The mapping of all the countries of the world and how they relate historically and currently had me learning right alongside him! The classroom size allowed for more discussion and learning. I highly recommend this course, we are so happy with the knowledge our son acquired this past year.
