Rancho Solano Preparatory School history teachers offer students classroom instruction that builds upon the national, state, local, and global history they’ve learned in earlier grades. Specifically, 7th grade historical focus is exploration through Civil War. The resources used are provided by TCI-Teacher's Curriculum Institute. Our history teachers help their students to move beyond rote memorization into critical analysis of historical events.

History teachers should be prepared to follow our collaboratively developed curriculum map designed so that all students are prepared to culminate in IB social studies courses. This position will also receive a stipend for planning and executing a grade level trip to Boston, Philadelphia, and Washinton D.C.

This position also serves as an advisor to a group of 7th students. Rancho teachers also supervise some after-school activities, organize and chaperone field trips, proctor a yearly standardized test, and frequently communicate with parents verbally and in writing.
