The focus of this half semester course is on informed citizenship, purposeful citizenship, and active citizenship.
One of the most important things students will take away from the course is an understanding of the political spectrum and their position on it. After all they will be eligible to vote in just a few years! Students create their own political parties to run the school and an election is held.
The model Citizen summative profiles people in the community who give back through their volunteer work. Students learn a valuble lesson that volunteering goes far beyond the mandatory 40 hours community service required to graduate.
