It’s August 19, and the first All-American Soap Box Derby Race was held on this day in 1934. The Soap Box Derby is a gravity-powered race, meaning that the cars driven and built by youngsters simply go down a hill naturally and do not use fuel. The idea of going downhill might appeal to racers in the Soap Box Derby, but nobody should want their educational career to go downhill. Fortunately American School can help. We offer accredited high school correspondence courses and online high school courses for the potential dropout. They’re available collectively to complete entire grade levels or individually through our independent study high school program.
