History

The Department of History and Social Sciences is dedicated to providing a total educational experience by offering students opportunities to enhance their understanding of human behavior, to embrace tolerance and global thinking, and to clarify their own values. The curricula have been designed to provide students with the political, social, cultural, interdisciplinary, and international foundation necessary to become responsible global citizens and life-long learners.

The core courses in grades nine and ten will provide students with the holistic knowledge, social science methodologies, and critical thinking skills needed for success in life. Our range of electives and AP courses allow students to pursue areas of passion within history and the social sciences, as well as take the subject area to a higher level.
