It’s October 21, and Alfred Nobel was born on this date in 1833. As a scientist, he is best-known for inventing dynamite, but you might know him better for establishing the Nobel Prizes, which, according to the Nobel Prize web site, are awarded to “those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.” Nobel Prizes are awarded in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, Economics and Peace, and we at American School are happy to say we offer courses in almost all of those areas. It is difficult for us to offer a course specifically about peace, but if you’re interested in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature or economics, then consider taking one of our accredited middle school courses or accredited high school courses in those disciplines. We would be happy to serve you and set you on your way to earning a prize of your own, namely an accredited high school diploma.
