Social Studies & History
The main purpose of a social studies education is to help students develop the ability to make informed decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world. To achieve this goal, critical thinking and analytical skills are stressed.
Our students study economic and political institutions and their historical development, along with significant people, events, and periods of world history. They examine the cultural and physical geography of major societies as well as the historical interactions among peoples of different races, cultures, and nations and how such interactions shaped the past and present. They learn to appreciate the major historical changes that have influenced the development of cultures and values.
