What is Humanities Plus?
Humanities Plus is a combination of social studies and language arts. The two classes are typically scheduled back-to-back so that students attend both classes in one block of time – a technique called “blocking” in schools. However, due to scheduling conflicts, sometimes blocks have to be split. When that happens, the groups of students stay together. Students in blocked Humanities Plus classrooms study and learn in an environment with added rigor and at an accelerated rate; the expectations are high. This is a performance-based program and students must maintain good grades to remain in the program.
