The Gilder Lehrman Institute
sponsors history schools and affiliate schools nationwide.
Gilder Lehrman history schools are rigorous, college-preparatory
schools centered on American history. They have a track
record of raising test scores and sending more than 90
percent of graduating seniors to college. At the core
of these schools is a four-year sequence of courses in
American history. In many of these schools, the entire
student body participates in the Gilder Lehrman program.
In other schools, a select portion of the student body
participates. Click here for a list of history schools.
Affiliate schools are connected to the Institute’s
nationwide network of teachers, students, and prominent
historians and have access to the Institute’s rich
offerings of educational materials and programs. These
schools enter the annual Civil War Essay Contest, participate
in National History Day, develop history clubs, and participate
in other programs offered by the Institute such as professional
development workshops and Junior Historians’ Forums.
