Meliora is offering two courses for students aged 12-18 for the 2025-2026 academic year.
We will use the theme of Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History to explore the origins, evolution and interpretations of the United States constitution and government structure. In addition to our whole-class studies and discussions, students will develop, either individually or in a small team, one project per semester which investigates a “Revolution, Reaction, Reform” topic of their choosing.
Adventures real and imagined is the theme of this year’s storytelling course, Students will practice this form of storytelling by reading/watching stories in the adventure genre and by creating short fiction or nonfiction stories.
For more details about the course structure and content, please click on the links embedded above. The fee for each course is $750 and fulfills one credit. Please reach out to Charlene with any questions you have.
The logistical information is as follows:
Live classes will be held each Thursday, during which Miz J (Charlene Doland) will video conference with the students. The class schedule is as follows (all times are in Central time):
10:00am-noon Revolution, Reaction, Reform

Between classes, students have individual and collaborative work to complete and should expect to spend approximately five hours per week per course. Miz J is also readily available for consultations with students when they have questions, concerns, or otherwise need additional support.
The first class will be September 4, and the last class will be May 8. We will have breaks at Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as a Spring break at the end of March.
