US History

US History becomes meaningful when kids learn the stories, conflicts, innovations, and diverse communities that shaped the nation. Our vetted resources emphasize accuracy, primary sources, and inclusive perspectives across eras. Each program is reviewed for narrative depth, clarity, and developmental appropriateness. We choose materials that encourage thoughtful reflection—not rote memorization. On Modulo, you can explore by period or learner needs—or use our AI concierge for personalized support.
