Meet Your Goals With Circa
Learn Skills
The Circa Project is changing the way that students learn about history. Our students learn crucial skills, like critical thinking, analysis, and argumentation. They don’t memorize names & dates.
Stand Out
Circa’s customizable programs allow students to build a skillset tailored to their needs. Our students meet their goals in academics, AP history tests, personal history projects, and college course prep.
Show Off
Our courses inspire curiosity—a crucial criteria in college admissions. Circa gives its students the tools and support to pursue their own history passion projects that they can share with colleges and the wider world.
Ivy-League Experience
Want to know how some of the best minds put these same skills into practice everyday? Curious about Ivy-League expectations? Our PhD expert historians know how to succeed at the best colleges—they’ve all taught at a top-ten university.
Seminar-Style Classes
Our seminar-style courses challenge students to think clearly and express their ideas dynamically. No sitting and taking notes. No watching videos made for thousands of students. We give high school students the chance to learn in the same way that students learn at top university programs: through discussion-based courses.
Leading Experts
Our trained experts know what it takes to succeed at a top school. Every Circa expert historian has a PhD from an Ivy League university. And they have all taught at a top-ten university. They provide the tools you need to succeed in their classes at Harvard, Stanford, and other top schools.
