What is Humanities?

Over the history of mankind, human beings have been fascinated with the world around them. Generally speaking, the Humanities investigate the expressions of the human mind. This class breaks our reality into little digestible bites. Each unit of study follows a theme that has inspired generations of thinkers and creators, and then asks what you think and how you are inspired. 

Our Humanities class is divided into three concentrations:

1. Visual Arts - Where we'll focus on the way people have interpreted their world into physical objects like paintings, sculptures, photographs, and drawings.

2. Performing Arts - Where the focus shifts to the way people have been inspired to act, dance, sing, and make music.

3. Social Sciences - Where the investigation continues into how people interpret their world through human interaction, societal beliefs, philosophy, and culture.


The Humanities tell us where we have been and help us envision where we are going.
