Class: IB History of the Americas HL
Text: The Enduring Vision
 
Description: The higher level IB History of the Americas course (HotA) at Bentonville High School is two-year program of study. IB History of the Americas HL is a challenging course that is meant to approximate university-level rigor and can earn students college credit at most universities. Eleventh grade diploma candidates will take IB HotA: Colonialism to the Present. This course is often combined with AP United States History. Twelfth grade diploma candidates will take the IB HotA: 20th Century Global Studies component.
 
In IB HotA: Colonialism to the Present, students will focus on social, political, and economic relationships between the United States, Latin America, and Canada from the 15th century to the present. The course will also focus on events from colonizing the New World to the present, including an emphasis on U.S. history and comparisons and contrasts between other countries and events in Latin America and Canada. In addition to preparing diploma candidates for Paper Three and to satisfy the requirements for the International Baccalaureate programme, students enrolled in IB HotA will also be eligible to take the Advanced Placement Exam in U.S. History.
 
Class: AP U.S. History
Text: The Enduring Vision​

Description: AP U.S. History is a challenging course that is meant to be the equivalent of a freshman college course and can earn students college credit. It is a two-semester survey of American history from the age of exploration and discovery to the present. The course is generally presented in a lecture/discussion format. Solid reading and writing skills, along with a willingness to devote considerable time to homework and study, are necessary to succeed. Emphasis is placed on critical and evaluative thinking skills, essay writing, and interpretation of original documents. Major research projects may be assigned once per semester. All students enrolled in this course are expected to take the AP exam.
