What our students say about the History Secondary Education program
“One thing I love about being a History Secondary Education program student is that SAU approaches education differently from other schools. You get to observe and sit in on classrooms at the elementary, middle and high school levels right away to give you an idea of what it truly means to be a Christ-like teacher.”
