Forget the dry, dusty history books—Pirates: A Swashbuckling History of the Americas in the Age of Sail takes high school students on a thrilling deep dive into the real world of pirates. With the Nomadic Professor's on-location videos, compelling stories, and critical thinking exercises, this course delivers history with a bang (or maybe a cannon blast).

Students will uncover how piracy shaped history from the 1400s to today through 6 engaging units. From Dutch privateers and buccaneers to the infamous pirate haven of the Bahamas, they'll explore the rise and fall of seafaring outlaws, learning how they governed themselves, evaded capture, and became the legends we know today. The final unit unpacks how pirates transformed into pop culture icons—from Treasure Island to Pirates of the Caribbean.

This semester-long digital course is designed for independent learners and makes history interactive with guided notes, quizzes, and document-based research. Students will develop real academic skills by learning to evaluate primary sources, recognize bias, and construct evidence-based arguments. The Nomadic Professor's straightforward, no-frills approach challenges students to think critically.

Perfect for grades 9-12, Pirates can earn half an elective credit in history or social studies. With flexible pacing, your student can complete 2–4 sessions per week, working at his own speed. Plus, the built-in grading system makes it easy for parents to track progress.

For teens who love adventure and high-seas drama, Pirates is an unforgettable way to experience history.

Parents will want to know that historical artwork occasionally includes partial nudity.
