How much time will be spent teaching history at Oquirrh Mountain versus the standard public school curriculum?
Standard public schools generally spend anywhere from a couple of days a week to a few times a year on “social studies” instruction. Some schools do social studies every other day for approximately 30 minutes while others spend a certain amount of time during the year on projects related to social studies. Some schools switch time between studying science and studying social studies. It does not seem to be consistent across schools – or even grades for that matter. At Oquirrh Mountain, students should receive history instruction daily for at least 30 minutes in the primary grades and 50-60 minutes in the upper elementary. Language arts, art, music, and science are often integrated with history, so the time could be considered more or less, depending on if you combine subjects.
