This entire school year, the EK/high-school program has been studying Africa - an amazing, diverse and fascinating continent. Here, the students are working on a variety of projects about the history, geography and culture of North Africa. Topics ranged from Africa's role in WWII, to the making of the movie Casablanca. We all learned a lot!
