Social Science

Understanding the World, Past and Present

 

Our Social Studies program helps students make sense of the world around them. Through the study of history, geography, civics, world issues, and global cultures, students develop a deep understanding of human societies and the forces that shape them.

 

 

What Students Learn

 

• Historical thinking and analysis

• Cultural awareness and global citizenship

• Geographic skills and environmental understanding

• The structure of governments, rights, and responsibilities

• Economic principles and global systems

 

 

Why It Matters

 

Social Studies builds critical thinkers — students who can analyze perspectives, understand global challenges, and engage thoughtfully with current events. These skills are essential for success in university programs such as international relations, business, law, political science, and humanities.
