Series Details

About

Have you ever dreamed of running for President of the United States? In this series, you will take on the role of a US Senator running for President. You will participate in debates, talk to voters, and win as many votes as possible. Of those who register for the series, only one will become commander-in-chief. Will it be you? The simulation will be based on actual US election procedures, including state-based presidential primaries, party nominations, and an electoral college system. Don't worry if you're not sure what that means; we'll get everyone up to speed! This course serves as a great supplement to AP US History or AP US Government and Politics.

Tutor Qualifications

I used to work in the US Senate as a Page, I've hosted government simulations on schoolhouse.world before, and I'm super interested in politics!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Missing more than two sessions in a row may lead to you falling in the polls, missing debates, and more.

Let me know in advance if you can't make it!

About the Tutor

Hi! I'm a high schooler in New York State. I got a 1600 on the SAT and I'm ready to help with either section on the test. I also love economics, English, and everything in between. It's great to be on schoolhouse!
