PHILOSOPHY
The discipline of Social Studies involves students as active participants in the learning of historical, economical, political, cultural, and geographical concepts to develop perspectives into local and global issues. By recognizing and understanding the challenges of change, students learn social science skills through experiential, collaborative and research approaches. As students expand their awareness from personal to societal to global, they think critically about the human condition and become motivated to serve our local and global community.
