| Hello, my name is Scott Powell. I am the creator of A First History for Adults™. I’d like to invite you to take advantage of an unprecedented opportunity for you to take command of history–not just to hear from an expert on the subject and then inevitably forget, but actually to gain knowledge for yourself, retain it, and use it as intellectual ammunition to affect the world around you. |
| GAIN | Powell History lectures are exciting and accessible. They are geared specifically to meet the needs of adults students. You don’t need any background knowledge. All you need is a desire to learn. | |
| RETAIN | All A First History for Adults™ programs are designed to help you put history together for yourself. When you can see the “big picture,” the separate facts become more manageable, and you can remember them! | |
| USE | Powell History’s classes present material that is connected to your values and the world around you. There’s no better way to see that history matters. Let me show you how! |
Why History?
Like many adults, you probably remember history as a boring subject. I certainly do! But it doesn’t have to be that way. History can be exciting and relevant. You can learn to love it as an adult!. Learn more about the value of history by reading the article Why History? at Secular Homeschooling magazine. You don’t have to be a homeschooler to understand the irreplaceable value of the study of the past!
History Can Be Powerful Knowledge
To better understand how Powell history can help you incorporate history into your personal intellectual life, follow my blog Powell History Recommends. My series on the five “I”s of history will help you identify what was missing in your history classes when you were young and why, and they will help you understand that you can expect something very different from Powell History classes.
