It’s January 27, and today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. On this occasion we wish to remind you of two things. First, American School is proud to accept and educate students from all religious backgrounds. Second, as part of providing the best education we can for students in our accredited middle school program, accredited high school program or independent study program, sometimes difficult topics might be covered. The Holocaust is one of those topics, and yet it is important enough that we offer an entire Holocaust Studies course on this event. As we pause for reflection today, you may wish to add the course to your curriculum or to visit the web site linked in this blog to learn more about this horrific event and then take steps to ensure that it or something similar will never happen again.
