The Nomadic Professor American History 1 & 2 isn’t your average textbook slog—it’s a fast-paced, visually rich, critically engaging tour through U.S. history, filmed all over the globe and delivered in a multimedia format that actually keeps your teen’s attention. This 100% virtual course combines podcasts, on-location video lectures, dynamic lesson text, and a steady stream of primary and secondary sources to sharpen your teen’s ability to think historically—not just memorize facts.
Across 40 units, your teen will track U.S. history from the pre-Columbian era to the end of Reconstruction, with options to take the standard high school path or an advanced route for AP and CLEP prep. Along the way, he’ll decode political cartoons, evaluate social media bias, dissect advertisements, and critique historical artwork (heads-up: some of it includes partial nudity). The course isn’t static either—new resources and updates roll out regularly to keep things fresh and relevant.
Each course delivers serious credit value. US1 and US2 together count for:
- 1 credit in U.S. History
- 0.5 credits in Historical Methods
- 0.5 credits in College Writing
And yes, all the content is carefully structured to meet credit hours, but it’s up to you to compile your student’s work into a portfolio for transcripts. The course includes a full Instructor’s Guide to help you document it all.
This isn’t a read-the-chapter-answer-the-questions sort of class. It’s immersive. It’s rigorous. It trains your teen to ask better questions, make sharper arguments, and support his ideas with evidence—skills he’ll carry far beyond high school.
