[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please realize these classes are already on the Middle School Course selection and have been for several years. So this is not new.[/quote]
+1  I was thinking the same thing.  I have a 7th grader at one of those MS.  I have heard the "deeper dive" spiel before.  I don't think it will be all that different TBH.

Here's the course description for 2016-17  Advanced World Studies 6 (7897) - not all that different to the description in OP's post:

[quote]This course provides enriched opportunities for learning about ancient world history. Building on the current four units of Grade 6 world studies, students will deepen their understanding of the rich cultures and history from the earliest human settlements to great civilizations of the year 1000 CE.  Students are challenged to analyze archaeological evidence, ask questions to further their knowledge, and understand history as an ongoing investigation. These historical thinking, reading, and writing skills support success in future Advanced Placement and honors social studies courses.

My DC took this course last year. It was super easy.[/quote]
