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.
