Graduate Courses for Teachers

For nearly fifty years, the Freedoms Foundation has presented critically-acclaimed, accredited graduate courses for teachers. Our summer programs feature visits to historical sites, led by noted historians who provide vivid insight, interpretation, and perspective on the events and people that shaped American history.

Freedoms Foundation continues to work on the summer graduate program for 2013. We plan to announce details in November at the National Council for the Social Studies annual conference in Seattle, Washington. Until then, below is a sneak peak at what we plan to offer. Details soonâ€¦.
