  • INTRO to the CONSTITUTION

    Explores the conceptual frameworks the Constitution is based on, such as the separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism, and positive rights. Students will gain an understanding of the Constitution that enables them to navigate constitutional concepts, identify those ideas in the world, and engage in the crucial discussions that will shape society in years to come.

    Is My Child Ready?
    This class will require students to come prepared for high level, abstract thinking. Students will also be asked to participate in activities that involve discussion and debate about legal and philosophical concepts. Students should be 13+.​

     

    CONSTITUTION and MOOT COURT

    The Constitution and Moot Court class is an academically rigorous dive into the content and application of constitutional law as it is understood today. Students will become deeply familiar with key constitutional controversies that have colored the way we interpret and apply the Constitution today. Second, they will become skilled in the art of reading, dissecting, interpreting, applying, and responding to difficult legal and philosophical ideas.  

    Those aims will be achieved by engaging in a high level Supreme Court simulation called Moot Court. The class is divided into several units.  Each unit culminates with a full Moot Court competition. Students also have the opportunity to compete in IEProgram Moot Court competitions throughout the year, where they will face students from across the program. 


    This class assumes that students have the following skills. First, they can engage in higher-order cognition and think about highly abstract ideas. Second, they can stand up and speak in front of the class. Third, they have a basic knowledge of the contents of the Constitution and the mechanics of the United States federal government. As such, we recommend two prerequisites for taking this class:

    ​1. Introduction to the Constitution class.
    2. Students should be at least 14 years old before enrolling.
    * We also note that students will find speech and debate experience to be highly relevant and helpful in this class.

    If you have a student who has not taken the Introduction to the Constitution class, but who you believe is ready to jump into Constitution and Moot Court, they will have the opportunity to meet with a teacher who can make sure the class is a good fit.
