Tell her to keep her money and try registering with Edex or Coursera. Both offer free online classes from top universities ( without credit) or with credits( about $65 ). I took classes there from Harvard, Stanford, university of Washington, Oxford and others.

Are you with APIA? apparently there is now an online course for 6 credits coving American history

We've used the local community college for both our APs, and our first actually did take a history class. Is that not an option OP? We're in PG County and there's a special one-page form for au pairs that you, as the host, sign which sponsors the AP to receive in-county & in-state rates.

Montgomery college should have - but she may need to take a language test. My AP is enrolled there now. The online class through UCLA for APs has some history. There are also the BMCC classes at Trinity on weekends. http://www.campusce.net/learningacrossamerica/course/course.aspx?catId=32

OP here -

Thanks everyone, for the suggestions. I did look at the Montgomery College website and didn't find one, but sounds like I should look again. Our LCC recommended the weekend courses (and we may go that route).

Auditing won't help her as she'll still need to pay and yet won't get any credit. OP, have you talked to your LCC?

Alternatively, you can try one of the Au Pair weekends...sometimes they talk about US history or culture.

If you are in Montgomery County, you'll pay in state rates.

Hi – our au pair is interested in a US history course, preferably during the day time in the week while the kids are in school. And somewhat affordable. We are in MD, just outside of DC. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
