  It is a 70-year-old program that gathers high school students from across the US to study early American history.

  “It has been great and a lot of hard work ,” said Crole. “This is not a subject really taught in England,so I'm learning a lot of new things."

  The program met from 8 am to 3pm five days a week. It went for three weeks. Students went to lectures and read essays about the period they were studying. They studied history from the founding of Jamestown through the American Revolution and the Civil War(美國(guó)內(nèi)戰(zhàn)) .

  As well as learning about histpry in the classroom,students also take field trips to historical sites. They visit Colonial Williamsburg,Jamestown and other sites around Virginia. They learned what life was like during that time.
